The map above is a tongue-in-cheek look at how the Vikings may have viewed the rest of Europe in 1000 AD. It has everything from crazy relatives to the sea of the sweaty people.
The map is the creation of Yanko Tsvetkov and appears in Atlas of Prejudice 2: Chasing Horizons (also see Atlas of Prejudice: Mapping Stereotypes, Vol. 1)
We’ve previously featured Yanko’s Culinary Horrors of Europe and felt this is another deserving humorous European map, this time from the Vikings point of view.
If you’re interested in learning more about the real Vikings we recommend the following books:
