Imagine being beamed back to the age of the Vikings, over 1,000 years ago. You can only imagine it, because going back in time only happens in science fiction – right?
Wrong! You can time travel – thanks to a remarkable reconstruction in the city of York, in northeastern England. Today, you can journey back in time to Jorvik, the thriving capital of a Viking kingdom, where 10,000 Vikings lived. You can stroll through a rebuilt Viking village and see the sights. You can hear the sounds, smell the aromas, and touch the findings from a civilization of yesteryear. You can even see some townspeople buying, selling, working, talking, laughing, and playing.
Step right up! A tour is about to begin.
