....Did you stop to think of this as you looked into your mirror: This is what my ancestor looked like...
...the HAIR of those that came before me.
From many years back...before your parents & grandparents...
....see the hair?...see the HAIR?
.....Vikings were great at absorbing people. They needed slaves, they
needed people to help row, they needed people to help maintain their
lifestyle. They regularly set up small villages and centers where
they could overwinter or stay for months at a time, and they needed
people to help run these establishments. So I think if you were
able to put yourself back into the camp of a raiding Viking group,
you probably would find Italians and Spaniards and Portuguese and
French and Russians -- a very diverse group built around a core of
Vikings from a particular region, say, southern Denmark or an Oslo fjord. It wouldn't be just be blond, blue-eyed Norsemen.
....very surprised to learn this. But even though they were a mixed
people they probably all had nice-looking hair...
Minus the styling products and soap, yeah pretty much. :)
