They were a very advanced people, but they also had a very harsh climate that they had to deal with. #2 The Vikings were very modern in many ways. They were very conscious of their appearance, and had excellent hygiene. They carefully groomed themselves and generally bathed at least once a day with a lye-rich soap that both bleached their hair and cut down on lice. #3 The Vikings were a brutal people, and they valued courage and despised weakness. They were capable and independent, and they valued life, glory, and wealth. #4 The Vikings had no word for religion. They had a set of general beliefs with extensive local variations. They saw the universe as one of concentric circles: there were nine worlds, most of them invisible, in three distinct realms. The outermost circle was populated by giants and monsters who circled like wolves in the darkness
