Each year, scientists, researchers and everyday people make incredible discoveries, helping us to better understand the world around us.
The Viking Age has always been shrouded in intrigue and mystery. History has told legends about them -- their culture and their religion. Perhaps these legends are true; perhaps almost all of them are false. But there is no denying the importance of Nordic mythology and religion in Viking culture.
In western Norway, archaeologists have found a site of a Viking-era settlement dating to 1,200 years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning is about three things. First, we need to recognize that knowledge is the power of learning. Second, we must recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, new discoveries are made.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. You can watch movies, browse the internet, listen or play music and read books. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, consumers can narrow their search to a select few websites that contain lots of useful information.
Experts can also benefit from specialization as they are able to build strong businesses around what they know. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
You don't have to specialize in one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? The answer is easy: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. There are many courses, workshops, seminars and conferences that teach people how quickly to acquire knowledge.
What can we learn from the past?
Three lessons can be learned from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fight for it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we must decide what kind of life we want to lead. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Next, apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It may seem odd, but it works.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. This is because it's simple. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small, and work your way up. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What have you failed to do? Which areas have you excelled? What were your greatest achievements?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
The same goes for businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types entrepreneurs. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They will not change their ways until they fail.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. This means that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They are learning opportunities.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then, you can try again.

How To
What can humankind learn by the past mistakes of its ancestors?
We've been here before, we'll probably be here again. But there's nothing wrong with learning from history. It might even help humanity survive another crisis.
It's possible to survive if we remain open-minded and continue to learn from our mistakes.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
Although there is a lot to be learned from the old ways, we often ignore them as they are inconsistent with our beliefs. We tend to cling to the old ways instead of accepting new changes.
But the world changes and our relationship with it is changing. Our environment is becoming more complex. We have more problems.
This means that we must also change. We are more vulnerable to failure if we can't rely on the strategies that have worked in the past.
We lose sight of our values when we do this and we become slaves to the habits we have created.
Our brains have evolved to adapt to environments that were thousands of years old. But these days aren't over.
The future doesn't seem set in stone. There's still room for improvement.
Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. We can create amazing technologies. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.
Yet, we are often tempted to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
Some people try to fight this trend. They view themselves as rebels against the status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They consider themselves rebels and take pride in challenging convention. Who challenge the norms and conventions of society.
They rebel against rules. They hate conformity. They don’t care about social expectations. They believe they are better than others.
These people I wish you all the best!
You'll need it!
Because you're fighting an uphill battle. The forces that drive mainstream society's success are powerful.
The majority of people in many countries around the world are not interested in your views. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn't really matter how brilliant or well-intentioned you might be. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.
Your message could go unheard. This is why you will need to learn from history.
Because that is where the real power lies. You can make a real difference here.
This is where others can be inspired to achieve their goals. You can help transform communities by building movements.
Let me ask you one question. Do you wish to live upto other people's expectations or do you prefer to create your own path? Or would it be better to decide your own path.
