Old Norse stories tell of a famous Viking named Egil, who lived around 900 AD. His skull was greatly enlarged and misshapen, and

the cranial bones were thickened (6 cm, more than 2 inches, thick). He had headaches from the pressure exerted by enlarged vertebrae on his spinal cord. So much blood was diverted to his bones to support their extensive remodeling that his fingers and toes always felt cold and his heart was damaged through overexertion. What bone disorder did Egil probably have?

Answer:

The bone disorder that Egil could've probably suffered from is called Paget's disease.

Explanation:

Paget's disease is an infrequent chronical bone disorder, in which bone repair occurs rapidly and isolated. This condition may cause a variety of symptons as aching in the spine, head and arms, hips and thighs; leading to health problems as arthritis, heart disease, nervous system issues, hearing loss, vision problems, lose of teeth and a type of cancer named Piaget's sarcoma.

A possible cause for this disorder is a virus called measles virus that occurs during childhood that leads to bone formation alterations.

If you are driving down the road, how do you know that the car is moving (think about your reference point)?
NISA [10]
If your car is changing speed by accelerating or decelerating, or changing directions by turning or hitting a bump, your body can sense these accelerations. You might be pressed against the back of your seat while speeding up or against the car door as you turn for example. If you are cruising at a constant speed, with no changes in speed or direction, you wouldn't be able to feel it. You would need to use your other senses. You could see the scenery going by through the windows, with closer objects moving by more quickly than objects in the distance. You could also hear sounds like the wind rushing by and the hum of the tires rolling on the highway.
