The Vikings were quite advanced in some aspects compared to others. Their ship-building and fighting skills were incredible. Though, they did need to plunder and conquer other areaterm-3s in order to accommodate for their growing numbers. Their ships and swords were given a lot of detail and you could see that they put a large amount of time into them. They carved runes into their swords and carved gripping beast into their ships. They also shaped the prow of the ship into a spiral. The Vikings found ways to build with two, very different, types of timber. Creating two different building styles to adapt to the material they used. They also had unique churches that were built around four main support beams, or staves.
