This is a curious comment. There is real historical evidence for Viking savagery and human sacrifice. Humans are notoriously violent throughout history. It would perhaps be more notable if a famous group of raiders was not known for incredibly savage acts.
"archaeological finds from recent years show that human sacrifice was a reality in Viking Age Denmark"
