The Revolutionary Technology Of The Findings Of The Vikings
The Vikings were known for their violence to live in sea and plunder are barbarians. They are a formidable foe for Europeans and is regarded as the cradle of the nation of pirates.
But behind the ' cruel ' Vikings, they recognized as ' engineer; that is phenomenal. The reason, a variety of discovery and innovation gives them an advantage in the fight, trade, and was improving the lives of their civilization.
Although the invention of the technology they are in the realm of combat, some inventions and their successful innovations revolutionized the world of shipping and navigation. It is certainly useful in personal travel or the military.
Here are a few of them.
According to archaeologist Steve Ashby, Viking, as a nation of inventors comb, take seriously the function of the comb. All Combs are decorated with wonderful, and "made with superb ". In fact, he added that the comb is made from the same material with a weapon.
Ashby added that "Viking dress it with often bring a comb in their waists along with swords and knives. Even at the funeral, combs also participated was taken. "
Up to now, the comb from the Horn of a deer from Sweden are still so expensive commodity, though it is already illegal to hunt deer for the sake of its horns.
However, in the eighth century, the Vikings find stability for the ship in the form of steel, and were able to secure the mast to attach the screen to the size of the giant so that it can run the propulsion.
With this, the Vikings could bring food, wood, even animals, as a charge for crossing the 6,400 kilometers to sparse sail the Atlantic Ocean.
They can makes the ship with shallow draft until they can sail on the river and attack the enemy from the riverbanks.
In addition of course from that has been mentioned previously, namely the steel hull, the Vikings could sail very far.
What's more the Vikings develop object named beitas, a "stalk that helps overcome the screen clamping winds. " this could make long ship can be maneuvered overcome various changes a breeze.
Dr. Short also mentioned that with the calculation is done, the Viking ships not nailed. This makes the ship could be flexible and ' submit ' the waves rather than harnessing the power of waves that could possibly damage the ship.
In addition, the Chinese also became the only nation other than the Vikings, who created a similar compass.
This is what makes the Viking compass can sail across the Atlantic Ocean although there was thick fog.
This is because medieval sailors unable to determine longitude properly. The difference, the Vikings advanced to calculate latitude, so that their magnetic compass is very useful.
At the bottom there is a pair of joist is inserted in each of the two ends of the square wooden platform.
Then, a pole fitted with a pair of beam near the top. Furthermore, a rectangular sheet of material 5x4 meter long encased as a roof, and its end is tied to the two other sides.
Tent setingga three meter can be fitted with practical for a few minutes. Tersebutdapat gives users a tent roof with wooden floors. In fact there is also a decorative element in the form of carved dragon heads on top of the roof beams.

Technology Of The Findings Of The Vikings
Here are a few of them.
1. Comb
When it went to war, the Vikings quite pay attention to appearances. Evident from those who always bring a comb made of deer horn.According to archaeologist Steve Ashby, Viking, as a nation of inventors comb, take seriously the function of the comb. All Combs are decorated with wonderful, and "made with superb ". In fact, he added that the comb is made from the same material with a weapon.
Ashby added that "Viking dress it with often bring a comb in their waists along with swords and knives. Even at the funeral, combs also participated was taken. "
Up to now, the comb from the Horn of a deer from Sweden are still so expensive commodity, though it is already illegal to hunt deer for the sake of its horns.
2. Steel Hull
The Romans and the Celts are users of the ship which is still propelled by oars with a wooden base, where sailing can only follow the coastline.However, in the eighth century, the Vikings find stability for the ship in the form of steel, and were able to secure the mast to attach the screen to the size of the giant so that it can run the propulsion.
With this, the Vikings could bring food, wood, even animals, as a charge for crossing the 6,400 kilometers to sparse sail the Atlantic Ocean.
3. The Ship's Most Flexible
According to a historian and humanist Viking named Dr. William Short, the Vikings were the first to create a ship with incredible calculations.
They can makes the ship with shallow draft until they can sail on the river and attack the enemy from the riverbanks.
In addition of course from that has been mentioned previously, namely the steel hull, the Vikings could sail very far.
What's more the Vikings develop object named beitas, a "stalk that helps overcome the screen clamping winds. " this could make long ship can be maneuvered overcome various changes a breeze.
Dr. Short also mentioned that with the calculation is done, the Viking ships not nailed. This makes the ship could be flexible and ' submit ' the waves rather than harnessing the power of waves that could possibly damage the ship.
4. Magnetic Compass
With the use of the mineral magnetite or lodestone of which there are abundant in Scandinavia, Viking was one of the first to find the first magnetic compass,In addition, the Chinese also became the only nation other than the Vikings, who created a similar compass.
This is what makes the Viking compass can sail across the Atlantic Ocean although there was thick fog.
This is because medieval sailors unable to determine longitude properly. The difference, the Vikings advanced to calculate latitude, so that their magnetic compass is very useful.
5. Tent
The Vikings were the first who considered finding a tent. This is because a tent Viking which plain, practical, and also firm, found in a Viking ship buried at Gokstad, Recliner, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway.
At the bottom there is a pair of joist is inserted in each of the two ends of the square wooden platform.
Then, a pole fitted with a pair of beam near the top. Furthermore, a rectangular sheet of material 5x4 meter long encased as a roof, and its end is tied to the two other sides.
Tent setingga three meter can be fitted with practical for a few minutes. Tersebutdapat gives users a tent roof with wooden floors. In fact there is also a decorative element in the form of carved dragon heads on top of the roof beams.
