Poph Viking were seafaring Norse people from Scandinavia, primarily from what is now modern-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. They lived during the Viking Age, which is generally considered to have started around the late 8th century and lasted until the mid-11th century. Vikings were known for their skilled navigation, shipbuilding, and exploration, as well as their raids, trading expeditions, and colonization across Europe, reaching as far as North America, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.
Viking society was organized into clans led by chieftains, and their economy was based on farming, fishing, trading, and raiding. They were skilled craftsmen, producing intricate metalwork, wood carvings, and textiles. Their religion was pagan, and they worshiped a pantheon of gods including Odin, Thor, and Freyja.
Viking expansion had a significant impact on European history, influencing trade routes, cultural exchange, and political developments. Despite their reputation as raiders, Vikings also established settlements and played a crucial role in the formation of several European nations, including England, Ireland, and Russia. Today, their legacy is celebrated in literature, art, and popular culture, often romanticized as fierce warriors and adventurers.
