Vikings..

Lisa treated me to an early birthday gift by taking me to see the Vikings show at the Natural History Museum. What a treat that was! Thanks Lisa!
Learning about my ancestors - ancient though they may be - was quite educational and it raised a number of questions for me that I will explore. I was also struck by how little knowledge we have of these folks. And no, there were no helmets with horns!!
I looked through the exhibit for something a bit different to photograph - here's what I found..

Two very different views of the same thing - a demonstration of a Viking boat - first the nails that were used and then the polyethylene line that they used to string the nails.



Rune stones - seem very Celtic in design.
