    Vikings: You don't need magnets to make a compass, just use some wood and a stick and you find your way home.

    Thanks for that. I will use that with my 7-8 students this year. Cheers

    Thanks for sharing. It looks like it points to the true and not magnetic north.It would be interesting to leave it in place on a clear night and see if it points to Polaris. You never know when all the power could go out and most people have lost touch with this ancient knowledge.

    You have got to be joking. The shadows only points to north or south at solar meridian passage
    Try this on a boat and you sail in circles. The shadow points West in the morning and east in the evening.

    Are you saying that the sun's shadow always points to the pole?

    This guy is why there is a mirror on the back of a compass
    So that you can see who's lost.

      Do you think Vikings or Ottoman knew they were doing the same? Can´t 2 different civilizations find how science works? They weren´t idiots back then. You are talking about two completely different civilizations and timelines anyways.

      @@ImNotLuthien The inscriptions using the Futhark alphabet, also known as the Viking runes, were deciphered using the Göktürk alphabet. Prof. Sven Lagerbring wrote in his book: "Our ancestors are Turks who are comrades of Oden. We have got enough evidence on this subject. There are people who want to fool you into thinking they are Goths, or Tyrks. I don't care whether it will be discrediting for me or not. Oden and his comrades were Turks."
