And there were silks and furs and spices, such as myrrh and frankensense...gold....salt..cedar...the list was endless, actually.

Lebanon dealt in cedar, though early. The Dead Sea was loaded with salt.

Most of what you listed came from the East or Near East. No Viking helmets, however.

Viks had steel. They had furs. They belived in slave trade. They made jewelry, and they wove linen. They also built deep-water ships that could go almost anywhere...
