Visualization of a viking city : Othor Games

Don't know if anybody finds this interesting, but I think it was kind of cool. The city of Bergen and The Norwegian Directorate for Culture Heritage put their heads together and made a short video of how Bergen looked like in 1350. The makers of the video say it is a very accurate depiction of the city, down to the smallest details. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway today with 260.000 people, but in 1350 it was the largest with around 10.000 people. Technically the viking age ended about 200 years before, but I'm guessing the city looked pretty much the same. Also I find it kind of Skyrim-ish :smile:

Cool, I didn't realize the Vikings actually built walled cities like that.
