@@srensindbk5473 I would like to know more about the Icelandic viking grave stta2 as me and my mother share alot of dna with the sample and many others from Iceland. My family is from Lancashire England and my family has been there for 100s of years thanks
so...the great ship burials could be seen as one of the biggest memes of the Viking age ( and also the 8th century)... Very insightful! thanks for sharing your insights with us
You say "viking" 25 times. Viking is an 18th century word. These peoples were called "Norse" "Norse men" or "north men" by almost everyone up until the 1970s. "Viking" is a meme it appears, that people just like to say .. Perhaps because it's gender neutral.
True. 'Viking' was adopted as a scholarly concept in the 19th century, when people began to explore and explain history beyond receiced tradition. Just like "Neolithic", "Medieval", "Lombard", or "Avar". It was used as a broad and widely understood term, not too closely associated with any one national group, to discuss a particular slice of the past: the period when long-distance seafaring expanded dramatically in Northern Europe.
Norse is a modern English word not a word used during the Viking age, the word Vikingr is found on rune stones from the Viking as and use different ways it's also found in the Icelandic sagas written in 1200 , the Vikings were called many things depending on who wrote about them Varangians, Rus, Danes, Northmen, Normans, Sveirs ect. they certainly didn't call themselves Norse for Scandinavians the people in the North is the Norweigians only, so what to call them? in Scandinavia we call them Vikings because everybody know who we are talking about and what time in history
Thank you for your insight! I really do look forward to these Viking archaeology series you are currently making. Very well done!

Great stuff again Dr Sindbæk thank you! Especially the meme at the end!
Thanks, Hilbert! Memes should be shared, of course, so I've put it out on my Twitter account.
