Nice hoity-toity answer but Finland is a part of Scandinavia and Vikings were from what is now Denmark.

Would love to see this happen - my time with the Nost community was too short - I would support financially.

Vikings were from present day Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Finland being part of Scandinavia is a half-truth as well. Some include Iceland and Finland as part of Scandinavia, some don't.

"Viking" comes from the word "Vikinger" which means "Fjorman" fron "Vik" -fjord. The Fjords are in Norway, not Denmark. The language of the vikings is called "Old Norse" not "Gamle Dansk".

Finland is not a part of Scandinavia. The word they use is "Fenno-Scandia". Finland and Scandinavia are separate.
