This DVD, called "The Vikings" is a wonderful 2 hour NOVA TV Special that takes an in-depth look at The Vikings in a somewhat new light. I have watched this DVD 5 times myself so far and I have learned something with every viewing!!
Here is what the back of the DVD label says:
The Vikings have had a one-sided image for too long. Since their first violent raids in the late 8th century, Norsemen have been considered nothing more than brutal barbarians and marauding savages who thoughtlessly murdered and pillaged the defenseless. Revolutionary new research is about to change their uncivilized reputation. Travel the globe with NOVA for a riveting two-hour special that proves the Vikings were much more accomplished than their vicious stereotype suggests.
True, the Vikings were ruthless in their quest for riches and power. But recently unearthed facts about of the Viking legacy reveal they were canny merchants, expert shipbuilders, superb artisans, and bold colonizers of far-off lands. Watch as modern shipbuilders recreate their marvels of nautical engineering. Search for clues that prove Vikings landed in North America 500 years before Columbus. Rebuild ancient villages, retrace a Viking trading expedition through Russia, and see spectacular Scandinavian artifacts that help introduce a surprising new definition of the Vikings.
Please visit my store where you will find THOUSANDS of auction listings of Ancient Roman, Greek and Byzantine Coins and Ancient Roman and Medieval Artifacts. There is also a Viking section there also if you specifically collect Viking Artifacts or just want to check these out.
You can see all these items by clicking on your category of interest in the list on the left side of your screen!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
If you are not in the US, I do not know if this item will work there or not. On the back it says DVD / NTSC / Region 1 / 4 X 3 Full Screen. If you know that this video will work or not in your country, please let me know so I can add it to help other ebayers. Thanks in advance for your help on this.
Are your artifacts properly preserved? I sell a product called Renaissance Wax in my store that was developed by the British Museum for the proper long term preservation of virtually all artifacts. You can read all about it by clicking on the "Cleaning Supplies" category in my store (on the left side of your computer screen towards the top).
Need some help identifying your artifacts? When I first started out, I wanted to buy some books to read but I did not know what books to buy. I now have a huge library of so-so books. I have 3 or 4 books that I continue to utilize on an almost daily basis. These books are available in my store. They are invaluable as a resource to help attribute your items.
Thanks for looking at my auction!!
