Nöristerna

Nöristerna, also known as the Norse or Nordic people, are an ethnic group indigenous to Scandinavia, comprising the modern-day countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. They are part of the broader Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family and share a common cultural heritage, including a rich mythology, folklore, and historical traditions. The Norse people are known for their seafaring skills, which led to significant exploration and trade across Europe and beyond. Their cultural identity is deeply rooted in the Viking Age, a period marked by raids, settlements, and trade across Northern and Western Europe from the late 8th to the mid-11th century. The Norse are also known for their contributions to literature, poetry, and law, with notable works such as the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, as well as the Code of Hammurabi, which influenced the development of legal systems in Europe. Today, the Norse people continue to preserve and celebrate their cultural heritage through various festivals, museums, and educational initiatives.
