Who Were Vikings?

But before delving into this intricate yet interesting discovery let us find out more about Vikings who made this finding so special. Vikings were at the tip of their popularity from 790 AD to 1130 AD. It was an ancient group of people that resided in most of Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). Essentially, the Vikings were a blend of rural tribes that came together to create a loosely woven society that later on transformed into something more prominent. ‘Viking’ is used for the act of raiding/pillaging. And this is what Vikings were principally famous for.
