Don't spoil my fun. I want to see Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster in a movie about Vikings with chariots.

Just for shits and giggles, I asked Google about that. My prompt was only "Did Vikings use chariots?" Here's the result:

AI Overview

No, Viking raiders did not have chariots; they primarily used longships for transport and warfare. While there are references to chariots in Norse mythology, such as the one pulled by goats for the god Thor, these are not historical accounts of Viking warfare. Archaeological evidence from the Viking Age shows that people used four-wheeled wagons for transport and ceremonial purposes, not the two-wheeled war chariots of ancient times.

And indeed Thor had a chariot that was pulled by two goats called Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr.

That article thoughtfully explains how to cook Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, should that become necessary or desirable.



But I don't see anything about Burt Lancaster.

Now where were we?
