Petter is my hero!
But for the love of god, vikings did not have horns on their helmets ;)
-
Yes they did! :)
-
No they did not.. :P
Its a myth that probably started in the romantic era (1700-1800).
Found a source (Susning.nu)
"Vikingamyter
Vikingarna hade inte hjälmar med horn. Denna föreställning uppstod under den nationalromantiska epoken i slutet av 1800-talet, i synnerhet inom Götiska förbundet. Hjälmar med horn användes sannolikt i cermoniella sammanhang och förekom i Norden under bronsåldern, men bruket hade försvunnit under vikingatiden. Hornbeprydda hjälmar förekom även hos kelterna. "
Viking myths
The Vikings did not have helmets with horns. This delusion arose in the nationalromantic epoch at the end of the 1700th century, especially in the Gothic society. Helmets with horns were probably used during ceremonial context and occurred during the bronze age in the Nordic, but the use had disappeared during the Viking era. Horn decorated helmets were used by the celts.

Perhaps during ceremonials.. But IIRC archaeologists have never found a helmet with horns.
The helmets they used looked more like this one.

What, how did you get access to my private collection? :evil:

Vikings are sooooo intriguing! One day they\'re peaceful farmers and then later, they\'re out pillaging a peaceful village, completely slaughtering even the ones who pose no danger! :D And yet, when they fight other warriors, they kill them just as easily!
Luckily Christianity eased all you berserkers. Hell, even Vikings killed off their own berserkers for their own safety. :)

Maybe fastson was a little horny? ;)
Ok, bad joke :)

WTF? Solberg is Norwegian. Why is he wearing a Finnish hat? Is that pic from Rally Finland?
-
The hat\'s supposed to be a Norwegian flag. Remember, the red color is part of the \'flag-hat\'. :)

Oh yeah, that tricked me.
In the US, our flag cannot be mistaken for anything else gol-dang it! :p

Denmark should sue us for taking the "cross" design of their flag.. :p
Denmark\'s flag is the oldest national flag in the world, introduced in 1219 (?) (edited in 1625).
Norway: 1821
Finland: 1918
Sweden: 1600 (not sure about this one)
Titan: Haha, very funny.. :p ;)

I don\'t care what anyone says Vikings had horns on their helmets. Ask the Minnesota Vikings.. theirs are painted on but they\'re still there.
Vikings = HORNS
