If you watch the History Channel show, ‘Vikings’ you would remember seeing some characters donning face paint, both men and women alike. Turns out the Vikings wore some liner made out of crushed antimony, burned almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ash, and soft semi-precious stones. It wasn’t just for looks, the liner was used to protect their vision while out in the sun.

Ships Like Tanks
The Viking longship was one of the most progressive vessels of its time. It was able to hold 25-60 men. Some of them were said to be able to hold up to 100 men. The raiding crew sat on the top deck when sailing at 10 to 11 knots. The ships were adorned with intricately carved mastheads shaped as dragons as well as iron-clad bows. The dragon was made to strike fear into their enemies and intimidate anyone in the vicinity of the ship. Even the propped-up shields on both sides of the ship were used as an intimidation tactic.
