OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Okay, well what do you know about Norse culture?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

I don't have too long until I need to go offline. I'm going to need to move quickly here helping you.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

The Norse were big into sailing and travel. Which answer has nothing to do with travel?

OpenStudy (josephinevessey):

the names of days of the week

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Great Job! There is one more you can get rid of.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

The compass was invented during the Chinese Han Dynasty sometime around 200bc. They also named it the directions but it was perfected in Europe. What they were best known for though was their wisdom and their pioneering aspect to sailing. They actually perfected it and passed on that knowledge to the Europeans. I hope that helps. Gotta go!
