What did the the vikings invent?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure they invented lots of things but their most famous would have to be the long ship. It was the fastest boat in its time but im not sure if its still the fastest boat ever invented. People describe it as unique, fascinating and fast(obviously). It was mad out of wood and had the head mainly of a dragon to scare people. It had sails and oars and was often cramped and uncomfortable. I think that's all about the long boat but as for other things they invented im not sure.

The Vikings had came up with ketchup, a little bit of hunting, they came up with 7/11 and also Starbucks. That's about it that i know until then i will update this :)

Answer 2

The long ship also known as the dreker is a Viking invention. So is the comb. Hair combs date back to the 9th century and were found in Scandinavia. They were usually made of red deer antlers. According to the Jefferson Lab they also used natural magnetite deposits in Scandinavia to make the first magnetic compasses. The warp weighted loom was invented by the Vikings. It was a vertical loom made up of a set of upright wooden beams and an upper beam that held the woven cloth.
