1 jan 878 ano - Vikings

Descrição:

They bathed weekly, kept their hair neat and combed, and regularly changed their clothes. Archaeological evidence supports that: tools like toothpicks, tweezers, combs, and nail cleaners have been found throughout Viking settlements. They even kept their hair neatly cut — carvings suggest the norm was a trimmed beard with a shaved neck, and a hairstyle that was shaggy on top and short on the back and sides.

women, too. They preferred to keep their hair long, usually tied back with ribbons in elaborate braids and knots.

Spinning and weaving was the domain of women, and it was insanely labor-intensive.

At some point in the middle of the 9th century, something odd happened in the horse world. Somewhere in England, a few horses developed a genetic variant, and it was a huge deal. It didn't just change color or coat type, it added the ability to maintain an entirely different gait. The few horses with this gene didn't just walk, trot, canter, and gallop, they could also amble. And ambling? Well, according to The Guardian, riders on a horse that ambles describe it as being as comfortable as sitting in the most comfortable comfy chair in the world.
