Very cool and very important news from #Viking Dublin. It seems the Dubh Linn was *much* bigger than we thought. This town had a huge influence on Viking-Age Scotland. https://www.rte.ie/…/2020/0311/1121710- dublin-viking-settl…/

Ooooh.

COOL! Please share: #Vikings can help our health!
'People with at least two grandparents who were born in Orkney or Shetland are being sought for a genetics study aimed at improving health.
'The research aims to better understand the causes of conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and cancer, and in turn find treatments.
... 'Those taking part in the University of Edinburgh study-led Viking II project will complete an online questionnaire about their health and lifestyle.
'They will also provide a saliva sample.
'The team believes the "unique genetic identity" of those with Northern Isles ancestry offers a "rare opportunity" to give a detailed picture on how genes are implicated in health'

We wouldn't be here without Dr. Batey; she's a huge star. Do, please, get along to see her if you can.

This 📗 cover is absolutely gorgeous.

Siri, can you marry a photo?

Even the drawings are beautiful.

A Viking made an outline of their foot on the Gokstad ship, and this is now your favourite artefact ever.

A welcome reminder that people, ideas, and artefacts have always moved around (and that Viking archaeology is the best).

Double, nay, triple ooooh.

Stay safe, Viking pedestrians, with these AMAZING reflective runic hats.
