The Vikings were cosmopolitan, and they had a belief in the spiritual complex
The Viking name is not called race, but the occupation of the warriors, who have taken influences from a variety

Just about everyone has heard of the vikings, and almost all of those who have heard of them, they are able to draw a picture quickly of the subject: tall, blond, bushy-bearded, bloodthirsty, at times, heroic. But it is the most comprehensive portrait of the phenomenon of viking's done so far shows that they are much more complicated than the picture reveals.
In “the Children of Ash and Elm” (“children of the ash and the elm”, in the book, even without brazil), the british archaeologist Neil Price University of Uppsala (Sweden), to do justice to this complexity, tying up all the loose wires from a range of disciplines, from genomics to the language of geology to the study of religion (one of his specialties).
Viking carving of the God Odin
The emphasis is on producing such a comprehensive vision and from the “inside” of an ancient society begins, indeed, with the information is apparently encoded. This is the name of the trees in the Northern hemisphere, come the names of “Adam” and “Eve,” from the norse mythology, were created by the god Odin and his brothers, from the wood: Askr (ash-tree, the first man, and Embla (elm or, perhaps, the vine, the first women's).
The picture points out, in the first place, as the so-called Viking Age (conventionally defined as ages between 750 a.d. and 1050 a.d.) was the choice. And that's not just because of the ships of the norsemen carried the raiders for a large area, stretching from Ireland and Spain in the west to the Ukraine (and perhaps Egypt) to the east.
The thefts, the massacres, the rapes and the trafficking of slaves, are supposed to be the head of all those who are tempted to romanticize the vikings, says Price, but on the side he was often accompanied, or replaced, by a skillful strategies to trade, and diplomacy.
Part of this complexity has to do with the fact that no one in the viking age, from the moment of birth. The etymology of the word is disputed, but the fact is that it was not a designation of ethnicity. It's more of a technical term used to classify those who participated in the raids by the sea, something akin to “pirate” in the Portuguese language.
In addition to this, the largest study of DNA has already been made about the vikings, of which mr. Price has participated in, has shown that they accounted for genetic influences of the various parts of the world, of Europe and of the north-east.
The subjects were buried with their weapons and ornaments, are typical of the vikings, sometimes there were “pure blood” of the people, such as the celts. And there is at least one case where a woman is buried with the rubbish warrior.
“The collaboration between genomics and archaeology, it is becoming more fine-tuned. The important thing is to always keep in mind that the gene does not necessarily correspond to the cultural identity,” he said the Price of the Leaf.
We have become accustomed to the dualism of body and soul, but the ancient norse had the four “layers” of the personality. On the outside, “such as a reflex”, it is the same in the body, by and large, but that could be changed in certain circumstances (which is why the belief in the warriors ' ability to take the form of a wolf or a bear). After that came “hugr”, something like “the mind” is essential.
The thing that is the most well-doesn't make sense, however, is the belief in the “hamingja”, the kind of spirit of the sort, and the “fylgja”, a body of female even when living in the body of a man who embodies something of the duties of the guardian angel and the spirit of the ancestors.
Also of interest is the study of the factors that made the success of the scandinavians as pirates and conquerors, settlers and traders. There is no simple explanation, " says Price. In the era of the invasions of the vikings begins in the period of political centralisation in the Scandinavian countries, in which small kingdoms vied for command of the land and sea routes.
In the rest of the world was in a phase of economic development and trade, the rise of the company in the actual Netherlands, Germany, England, and France; and, finally, States that are relatively small and weak in the south.

The military forces in the land of the vikings, with less of a chance to fight at home, and incentives, in order to to the south, they set out in search of booty. Abocanharam areas of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France, in addition to the founding of the kingdoms that would rise in Russia and the Ukraine.
In this framework, it is combined in the book with the details of daily life: applications were made with a spell, with comments on the sexual evil; the smiths, they used the same mold for the manufacture of crosses, and charms, the hammer of the god Thor; wooden swords for the kids (and the chairs with the protection of infants, such as those of the present day). It's hard to get closer to a time machine that.

They made the hills and the artificial, to the kings (Gamla Uppsala in Sweden, a large, strong, circular (Trelleborg, Denmark) and temples, such as that of Uppakra (Sweden), packed with small gifts of gold,

SAVE VARANGIANA
Whether traveling to Eastern Europe, some of the vikings began to form on the Left Varangiana, who protected the byzantine emperors. One of them, the so-called Halfdan, he wrote his name in runes on one of the parapets of the former cathedral of byzantine style of the hagia Sophia in Istanbul

The bottom line is for the people to regain their original, moral principles, which have intentionally been watered out over the past generations by our press, TV, and other media owned by the Illuminati/Bilderberger Group, corrupting our morals by making misbehaviour acceptable to our society. Only in this way shall we conquer this oncoming wave of evil.
