    been there last year, the guide told me that a similar house first was found in Sweden 63 meters long.
    Later they found this building in Norway also 63 meters long, an extra 20 meters added when they reconstructed the building as it was ment to be a museum
    The Vikings came from Denmark originally then settled in Sweden and Norway.
    "Viking" was not a certain group of ppl, it was something one did,
    as in "he went viking" meaning going raiding and or trading.

      I think that's a copy of a Viking instrument. Ask the museum over email or their social, I'm sure they will answer.

    They should sell Vikings and gods figures,posters,really well made,from the type that doesn't look like toys,some can be articulated,this can either make the thing more realistic.
    My mother is from Normandy,it's not everyone from Normandy that were Vikings,the question is do I look like a Viking?
    Of course.
    I'm from Canada the Vinland,where there is many others Vikings,but they don't really know yet.

      The lady is not dubbed there.
      We plan multi language audio tracks as soon as YT enables that features for us.

    Viking was an occupation, not a nationality. Vikings were Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, some from Estonia, and so on.

      The countries of Norway, Sweden and Demark didn't exist in that sense yet. That came after the Viking age. During the Viking age there were dozens of small kongdoms spread around.

      ​@@XploreNorway Proud to say, it is official that Norway unified as one kingdom about 1150 years ago, already, and so it became the first Nordic country to unify. Our country has even kept its name from that time: på norrønt/in Norse language it is Norðrvegr ("the way north", simplified in modern Norwegian: Noreg/Norge, which translates well to Norway in English).
      The unification happened pretty much halfway through The Viking Age (793-1066 CE), as Harald Hårfagre (English: King Harald Fairhair) and his men united Norway into a single kingdom after winning the great 10,000-men Battle of Hafrsfjord (872 CE). This battle, the king and the kingdom is described in several sagas: The Saga of Harald Fairhair, Grettir's Saga, Heimskringla by Snorre (preserved Icelandic sagas), to mention some sources.
      Also, check the official website of The Royal Norwegian Court for this story (in English): www.royalcourt.no/artikkel.html?tid=28693&sek=27321
      At the same website, the complete 1100+ year long royal line of Norway is listed (in Norwegian): www.kongehuset.no/artikkel.html?tid=27626&sek=26982
