  1. The Viking Age (793-1066 CE) was the period Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonising, conquest, and trading throughout Europe and even reached North America. No doubt before that the river system between the Baltic and the Black Sea facilitated movement and the Vikings were not shy people. As the video describes Archaeologic sources indicate that Scandanavian including Finnish people travelled along these water ways. The physical size of this territory and the overall flatness of the terrain (no sharp borders) means that many people of different ethnicities mixed , traded and of course , fought with each other over a long period of time so the result must have been a very patchwork but vast region of mixed ethnicities. Debates on the origin of "Rus" will be the work of Archaeologists and Historians for ever.
