The viking legacy in modern society is generally harder to detect than most previous societies. Their respective mythology has prevailed itself upon modern pop culture in areas ranging from comic book and fantasy art through rock music. Countless references to their rune style writing can be observed in various art pieces right through to several rock album covers. More subtle one might consider that the original Russian Czars were viking invaders that decided to stay and rule the land with the local citizens as a slave workforce. Unfortunately for history's sake viking raiders were known for destroying records of information when discovered if they could not decipher them. this was intended to weaken the enemy for future invasions. How much farther ahead could Europe have come by now if not for these raids and tactics?

lots of the English language comes from the so-called Vikings who have been truly Norsemen from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who have been out a-viking. Viking is an interest, no longer a human beings. Any word with -gh, or -ing, or wh- in it incredibly is a word from the Norsemen.
