.@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 NB. I know from Ibn Fadlan that Volga Vikings burn their dieds, in ships, so it contradicts w/ the link.
@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 >& as we know there are Ship burials in Scandinavia, belong to Scandinavian Vikings.>
,@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 > so can we say: There were cultural difference(s) between Rus (Volga Vikings) & Western (or other) Vikings?>
@Archatgs @Rachel5742 Could be, or could just be natural variation eg Scyld Sceafing's ship-burial in Beowulf, which sees ship set adrift
