It's always dark and dreary November weather in Kattegat.
England too apparently.
But it makes sense. According to most movies, it's always winter in Russia.

In the history of the Church, not one apostate or heretic was ever punished by crucifixion. And on top of that made to appear like Jesus on the cross complete with a crown of thorns and a lance into the side.

Well, OK... I'll give you that one. But for the most part the details of Viking life and combat are reasonably well presented.

I learned I think Alyssa Sutherland is HOT and she is not a Viking. she is from Australia. She could be a Viking and I’d still think she is HOT.

“Vikings had power saws, as evidenced by the cuts on their firewood and the ends of the logs used on their buildings!!!”

Nice catch dude.

The Vikings are maligned.

It's not their fault that their travel agents lied to them about the availability of operational ATMs in Scotland and England and the availibility of decent weather and great beaches to be able enjoy their Spring Breaks with the local women.

Likely a cultural misunderstanding. Normally they rode into battle...we I mean new areas (yea! new areas!) with Coexist bumper stickers on their horses...

"Likely a cultural misunderstanding"

Yeah, the local monasteries had to be used as ATM substitutes to be able to fund passage home.

Why do you think they didn't have saws? There's plenty of evidence that they did. Even by the 8th or 9th century the saw wasn't exactly new technology.
