  1. 🔥 NEW: Archaeologists and historians were asked whether #Viking #funerals ever involved a burning ship drifting to sea, set #fire by a flaming arrow from the shore.

    They said no evidence supports the scene as depicted in #popculture, and burning #ships found in burials were actually burned on land. A #10thcentury account describes a chieftain’s #boat burned on land by a mourner rather than an arrow, and #experts say it wouldn't have been practical.
