Middle Ages Piracy BY VIKINGS produced TONS OF GOLD. Where is it today?

WHERE AM I TODAY? Was I MELTED?
What idiot did that? Who HAS ME?

Through the Viking Age of about 800 to 1100 AD, small-scale groups of
merchants, and robbers travelled from Scandinavia, to the coast line of
northern Europe, Britain as well as all over the Baltic region into
Russia and even over the Atlantic to Canada and north eastern part of
the United States. The phrase Viking is really a description of Nordic
individuals, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and Icelanders, who sailed the
high seas throughout a time of powerful Scandinavian growth in the
Middle Ages, plundering and looting everywhere they went.

Known as the Viking Age, the time is certainly related to lots of
piracy, when wild men came out of the north within their aggressive long
ships to burn and pillage across the rest of Europe. This particular
version is now thought to be a major fantasy. Contemporary scholars
believe the accomplishments of the Viking Age when it comes to
Scandinavian artwork and workmanship, marine exploration, and the
introduction of trade, show the Vikings as merchants, not blood thirsty
savages.Well don't you believe it.  Having known a Viking girl first hand
I know SHE would steal anything that wasn't nailed down. (Swedish
Descent.) AND WARRIOR? Irritable plus! SO my question is, if they
killed you and stole your stuff, where is all the gold today?

The very first documented Viking raid was an attack by Norwegian Vikings
on the holy island of Lindisfarne, off the north east coast of England. 793AD
Increasing proof suggests, that substantial Viking movement of people,
westwards over the North Sea and eastwards throughout the Baltic region,
happened long before that particular raid. These guys had nothing to do 9
months out of the year. Snowbound. No fields grew anything that far north
so all they could do was sail around stealing.

Swedish traders travelled to the interior of Russia, creating brand new
trade routes into the Volga and the Dnepr, starting towns like Kiev and
Novgorod, and beginning the trade with Constantinople and the unique
marketplaces of Arabia and the Far East.

In Constantinople, the Vikings created the professional security guard
of the Byzantine emperors, the dreaded and notorious Varangian Guard.
That tells us Vikings were 'in' with the Emperors. Why? Cuz they sole
all their LOOT to them. That GOLD ended up in CONSTANTINOPLE.

Danish warriors attacked the cities of the dying Carolingian Empire,
Rouen, Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux, until eventually one of the armies in
received huge areas of land in 911 in the north of France which is today
known as Normandy The Land of the North Men. Later of course they
attacked and conquered England in 1066.

But the question is, they stole gold for thousands of years, where did
all the precious metal go? It certainly isn't in NORWAY. Who bought it?
Who traded for it? What did they trade? What is there in TURKEY that
any VIKING would want? Were the VENETIAN DOGES in on it?
Were they the FIRST FENCES?

Google the MYSTERY OF THE MISSING VIKING GOLD
There is very little on this theme. Try NOTHING.

And read up on TURKEY in 800 AD.Cuz I'm betting they bought it.
The Turks hired the Vikings as mercenaries/ body guards.
