But certainly if we're talking about the heyday of the Vikings where they're really going to wreak some havoc on Europe and the world with their seafaring skills, we're talking about the late 8th century to the early 11th century. Now how do we know what we know about Vikings? Some of it comes from mythology, but there is some writings, the Norse sagas written in the 12th century that give us some insight into how they lived their daily lives, what their religious practices were. But we also know a lot from archeologists who have dug up some of these settlements and these areas where they've lived that do give us some insight into how they lived.

Most people aren't Vikings in that sense.
