It's also an undeniable biological action. When a person dies their hair and nails continue to grow for about 3 months (I think) after death. It's similar to reactions the body does that made Europeans in the 18th century believe vampires were real after exhuming the bodies of suspected 'vampires'

@Cosmic_Code 4 жыл бұрын

Vikings were Nordics of Ethnicity. Just to get that straight. Were mostly of Anglo Jutland descent (Denmark) Southern Norway to Trondheim. From Gotland to Uppsala in Sweden. I am one myself. So no debate about race. Classic Nordic Østerdal types with more extreme Nordic features from the Anglo belt through North Germany into Denmark and Southern Norway. Some were Fælisk/Frisian/Blond Brachycephals, though, mostly long-faced (Above 95 units in Facial index) and below 75 in Cephalic index = dolichocephalic skulled. Leptorrhine Nasal in the low indexes 60 - 46 (Average in the 50s). Golden and Rufous/rufosity in pigmentation, with stern dark blue eyes with sometimes a blend of grey or white showing.
