  1. The Vikings Main Ideas

  2. Viking Lands The Vikings came from the countries that are now called Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. These lands are cold, and bleak, with deep rivers, rocky coast and towering mountains.

  3. Viking Gods The Vikings believed that their were lots of different gods who lived in a place called Asgard. Each god was responsible for a different thing, like war, travel, or home. Thor, the god of thunder, was the most popular god.

  4. A Viking Long Ship The Vikings were superb seamen and used ships for traveling on the lakes, seas, and fjords of Scandinavia. When Viking warriors died, their bodies were often placed in long ships, which were buried, or set on fire and pushed out to sea.

  5. Viking Alphabet • The Viking alphabet, the Futhark, was very different from ours. The letters or runes, were made up of mostly straight lines. This is because they were usually carved into wood or stone, and it is easier to carve straight lines than curves.
