The \u003ci\u003eHymiskviða\u003c\/i\u003e tells that Thor goes to sea with the giant Hymir, baits his line with an ox head, hooks Jörmungandr, and pulls so hard that his feet go through the bottom of the boat. Indeed, the Altuna stone in Uppland, carved in the 11th century, shows exactly this: a figure with a hammer, a line stretched toward a serpentine creature, and a foot passing through the hull. Three other stones, including the Gosforth stone in Cumbria, depict the same scene. When text and stone corroborate each other to this extent, the historian has a rare foothold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/symboles-vikings-signification-guide-complet\" title=\"The 17 Viking Symbols and Their Deep Meaning\"\u003eour guide to Nordic symbols and creatures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-dragon-nordique-medaillon-runique-coton\" title=\"Viking Nordic Dragon Runic Medallion Cotton T-Shirt\"\u003eViking Nordic Dragon Runic Medallion Cotton T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-dragon-noir-et-blanc-imprime-integral\" title=\"Black and White Viking Dragon Full-Print T-Shirt\"\u003eBlack and White Viking Dragon Full-Print T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-sleipnir-cheval-odin-dore-coton\" title=\"Gold Sleipnir Odin's Horse Cotton Viking T-Shirt\"\u003eGold Sleipnir Odin's Horse Cotton Viking T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57874219336062,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-01","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57874219303294,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-02","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57874219270526,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-03","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57874219467134,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-04","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57874219434366,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-05","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57874219401598,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-06","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57874219368830,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-07","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57874219237758,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-08","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":57874219204990,"sku":"LCV-TS-105-09","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/tee-shirt-viking-jormungandr-serpent-monde-runes-coton-porte.jpg?v=1787244003","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-jormungandr-serpent-monde-runes-coton","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
