  26. well, assuming that the mitochondrial dna on the shawl really is from jack the ripper, you would be able to narrow it down pretty far, it would have to be someone alive at the time, and in or around london that might narrow it down a lot or not at all, depends on how many in london at the time shared the same mitochondrial dna, it might have been rare, maybe not

  27. no

  28. in training yes, but easily corruptible and their tactics where basically none existent, they would use the same formation each time and use the same tactics

  31. ​ @squakrock  raids did not stop in the 800s even in 1066, harald hadrada raided england (although unsuccessful this is commonly considered the last raid) but i will list more raids that were after 800 886 - Alfred divides England with the Danes under the Danelaw pact. 900 - The Vikings raid along the Mediterranean coast. 911 - The Viking chief Rollo is granted land by the Franks and founds Normandy in France. 941 - Rus Vikings attack Constantinople (Istanbul). 991 – Æthelred II pays the first Danegeld ransom to stop Danish attacks on England. after this there is a series of england going between danish and angle rule until 1066 whern normans take over finally

  46.  @Princeofmellon  ​ the battlefield here is actually pretty even spartan bronze armor was strong and their spear wall was something many armies couldnt face, yes, but the vikings had steel and tactics when it comes to tactics the vikings culture had been one that had developed centuries of tactics against spear walls sparta only had one tactic because they could use the spear wall so well and no one could do that much about it

  50. they where a product of christian hostility they ended because of the change brought by implementing christian law they had a hyper masculine culture, as opposed to spartan hyper militant culture which is a war culture, its like the difference of "im strong" and "we are strong" they had less of the "we are strong" aspect they where diplomacy first and men of action second, so when christianity banned trade with pagans...
