I love the old Viking ships with roaring dragons mastering the seas. We forget of course that the water was the way people got around. Our 'dark age' monks went from one end of Britain to the other by sea.

With all the new technology, they'll probably be able to re-create it. I just can't imagine the excitement of the first to see it! Ancient history is so fascinating.

Such ancient times seem almost mythical to me, tied up with stories of gods and other-worldly creatures - wonderful to find a relic like that, something so tangible, from such a time.
