Los Berserkers. 'Piel de oso'


Provenientes de las tierras nórdicas, los berserkers eran unos guerreros vikingos excepcionales. Semidesnudos, a veces sólo con una capa de piel de oso, se lanzaban a la batalla sedientos de sangre. Su objetivo era atemorizar al ejército enemigo y, qué decir, lo hacían bastante bien.

La verdad es que estos fanáticos de Odín, antes de luchar, se drogaban con setas alucinógenas, lo que hacía que no sintieran ningún dolor frente a las flechas y a las espadas enemigas y los volvía aún más locos y sanguinarios. Mordían sus escudos, desgarraban la poca ropa que llevaban encima y echaban espuma por la boca. Una auténtica locura.

No temían a la muerte. Incluso esta (su muerte), era un tanto peculiar. Se creía que estos guerreros, después de morir, iban al Valhalla. Sus cadáveres eran introducidos en barcas ardiendo y eran enviadas al mar y, si estos vikingos tenían mujer, ellas también acompañaban el cadáver en su viaje, clavándose una espada en el pecho. Esta era la cultura vikinga.

Los berserkers, unos guerreros míticos, que dieron nombre a un tipo de combate, muy caótico y terrorífico.

En todas las etapas de la historia y en diferentes culturas han habido guerreros similares. Como en la época medieval podían ser guerreros con poderosos mandobles, que eran usados para causar una masacre entre la caballería enemiga. Ellos eran unos guerreros muy especializados y de elite, pues no todos podían dominar esta arma, además de ser muy fuertes físicamente. En muchas batallas, ellos eran la esperanza, pues la caballería era muy temida y letal.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic
but I had to tell someone!

Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thanks!

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say you've done
a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads very quick for me on
Opera. Superb Blog!

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

The text in your content seem to be running
off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to
let you know. The design and style look great though!

Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming
having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
