Wow, that's one interesting church. The music is clearly the folk music style.

Yeah, if I was to go to a church, that would be the one. It reminds me of the Stargate Universe ship, Destiny.

Thanks for posting…and the additional information, very interesting.

Being a nerd, I often look up "stuff " about music I find interesting.

@Reignmond So do I…so we’re nerds together!

Millions of women have suffered these tortures!

The guys were mostly tortured and killed. Some men and women were held for ransom.

Thank you. I knew nothing of this. What a long and dangerous voyage to capture prisoners.

@rogerbenham Sexual slavery was a big thing between the Norse and yhe Middle Eas, Caspian and Balkans area.

@Reignmond No surprise, really.

@LucyLoohoo Brutal times. Young children were often either made servants or adopted.

Interesting history,
