one has too agree with the op
anglos, irish and most germanics need to understand their similairty to vikings is due to shared common descent and not direct viking influence, anglos et al are not vikings and should stop the LARPing.

Don't think I've ever heard an Anglo call themselves viking mate, put down that pipe; 2015 study showed Viking admixture in England is insignificant; only place it exists in a significant level is from Norge Vikings up in Orkney.
Anglo similarities comes from Saxon/Anglo germanic blood.

I doubt the OP will find many Apricitians worshiping Vikings...

I had a friend who did that for a while. I found it grating because I felt that he was turning his back on his Celtic heritage in favor the more "cool" Vikings. I mean, I don't dislike the stuff. He's been "borrowing" a book on Viking culture from me for about six months now...lol...but there is a difference between stupid larping and interest.

At least the Mongols had the good sense to leave most of the complicated civilizational business of administration, trade and engineering to the more civilized peoples they conquered. They were also quite instrumental in unifying much of the Eurasian continent economically and were famously religiously tolerant, ushering in an era of cultural fusion and religious syncretism (the good kind, in my opinion). I don't think you could make the same lofty claims for the Viking age.
'The fiercest fighting zone of nationality is Macedonia, and here the races so shade into one another that it was possible for the Bulgarian professors to find only seven hundred Serbians, where the Serbian statisticians found over two million and the Greek enumerators no Serbians at all.'
