In co-operation with HBO Nordic, iGENEA is presenting the new Viking-DNA test at the start of the new season of 'Vikings'.
The Viking Age began more than a thousand years ago and in those two centuries the warlike Norsemen from Scandinavia went on numerous raids, above all in northern Europe. They spread fear and terror but were also extremely capable seafarers. They battled their way as far as the Mediterranean and Leif Eriksson discovered America (Vinland). These Viking voyages were recorded for posterity in numerous sagas and chronicles as early as the Middle Ages. The enormous fascination arising from this period can still be felt today. The Vikings not only live on in our memory, they also settled in many regions outside Scandinavia and so are among the ancestors of many Europeans living today. To this day, the deeds of Ragnar Lodbrok and many others have remained an inspiration for releases like the series 'Vikings' on the History Channel.
