Answer with Explanation:

Among the civilizations we've discussed, I'd choose the "Vikings." Although they're known for their barbaric nature for plundering ships, they also contributed a lot to the modern world. For example, they inspired ship builders to design ships that could easily be driven in the sea. Vikings were very much advanced when it comes to sea travels, that they've provided so much information on ship building as well as navigation. Another example is the fact that the Vikings influenced the modern world into using "currency." Since they were very much into trading, they used silver coins in order to buy the goods they wanted. Lastly, the Vikings contributed the use of "comb" in our modern society. They possessed specialized tools for specific purposes and one of which is the comb.
