The Viking Age, which spanned from the late 8th century to the early 11th century, is a period often associated with fearless explorers and skilled seafarers who ventured into unknown waters. These Norse adventurers, known as Vikings, were not only known for their raiding and pillaging but also for their remarkable navigation skills. While they didn’t have the advanced tools and instruments of modern navigation, they relied on their knowledge of the stars, the sun, and an enigmatic crystal known as the Viking sunstone. In this episode, we will delve into the fascinating world of the Viking sunstone, exploring its history, purpose, and the ongoing debates surrounding its existence and effectiveness in navigation.
