Exposing the Roots of the Viking Horned Helmet Myth
"Yes, some helmeted Vikings traveled around Europe, West Asia, and even North America raiding and pillaging. It is a myth, though, that their helmets were decorated with horns, antlers, or wings. But you can see from the featured image above that one of the type of helmets Vikings used looked pretty cool - even without horns."

Keesha, Where are you getting these GREAT pictures?
I changed my mind about where I would go if I could time travel. I want to go back to where THEY ARE!

You hand carved this yourself?
That’s really good.
How do you like carving pine?
