Norway is one of the known countries of Scandinavia. It occupies part of western Scandinavian Peninsula spanning 385,252 km² of land area and a population of 4.9 million people.
Norway’s first inhabitants are influenced by Ahrensburg culture, (the Upper Paleolithic culture way back 11th-10th BC) named after the village called the Ahrensburg in northeast Hamburg Germany. Early discoveries indicate that Norway’s indigenous populations through Norse culture are the Sámi and Norwegians. The monarch declared the kingdom founded by these people. The influx of missionary movements in the country slowly turned Norse traditions into Christianity since the early 11th century up to the present.
