A vivid picture of the Vikings that draws on the latest discoveries and augments written evidence with fine archaeological detail. Here is the complete story of the Vikings from their origins in Scandinavia during the early first millennium AD, through the incredible period of raiding, trading, and settling known as the Viking Age and the huge impact that the Vikings had on the course of European history, to the last surviving Viking settlements in fifteenth-century Greenland. The book explores Viking life and culture in detail, from their costumes and appearance to their longhouses and towns, including Hedeby, York, and Dublin, and the extensive Viking pantheon. Viking warfare, targets, and tactics are analyzed, as are their weapons, crafts, and other artifacts - including their stunning pattern-welded swords, their helmets, and their hoards. The ship, the linchpin of the Viking world, is described and illustrated with numerous examples, among them Oseberg and Nydam. Box features complement the text, covering subjects as diverse as runes, navigation, silver hoards, and the sagas. 330 illustrations, 165 in colour.

A Documented History of Ufo Sightings, Alien Encounters and Coverups

This book does not provide answers, as the true nature of UFOs remains unknown. Instead, it poses critical questions: What if UFOs are real? What implications would this have for humanity? Are these phenomena 'nuts and bolts' crafts piloted by sentient beings from other civilizations, or could they be human-like time travelers or entities from unknown realms? Acknowledging this possibility could significantly reshape our understanding of the universe and our place within it. The text encourages thoughtful discussion, urging readers to critically examine the concepts presented in light of the ongoing UFO phenomenon. It emphasizes the importance of credible reports and potential explanations for these sightings. Intriguingly, the author experienced a CIA security clearance without prior knowledge, raising further questions about the nature of UFO investigations. Reports of alien abductions and encounters with beings exhibiting seemingly supernatural abilities—such as levitation and telepathy—have surged. Even if these abductions are imagined, the repeated sightings and behaviors of these entities provoke curiosity: why do they hover over military installations, interact with human vehicles, and perform unexplained actions without clarifying their intentions? The persistent allure of these phenomena raises profound questions about their nature and purpose, leaving humanity yearning for understanding.
