Berk's Forumvine

Just to add in something here

- The vikings were known as very fast builders, and when they started a project they probably built as long as the sun was up. Also they were quite skillfull carvers and when everyone pitched in they could raise monuments quickly. The viking were also known to share the labour, and help each other. And seeing that there is stil huge bits of ice on Berk, I would estimate that the epilogue is about 1 month after the final battle.

- and by the way the vikings did actually have soap, and they bathed every saturday (The official bathing day)

Also, considering they had no soap, Hiccup managed to wash the ash off his forehead.

I could be wrong, but wasn't the soap at that time made of animal fat, which would probably cause bad acne? Sorry if this isn't right. I'm not a historian, nor a dermatologist.

Exactly! I'd say a couple hours, give or take, for the statue, the Stoick and Skullcrusher picture, and to set up the Dragon Race. Oh and in that time they're already in the proceedings of the race too.

Fast is an understatement for these guys.

For the Stoick and Skullcrusher picture, it's been there since the beginning of the movie. So it's all back to the statue

That may be, I`m not quite sure myself but I think they used zap, and some herbes... But they may have used animal fat aswell

Even with the picture out of the picture, I'd imagine however fast they did it, it would be faster than we'd expect. There are quite a lot of them and they've got stuff build real quick in the past.

Honestly, I think the epilogue was set at most a few weeks after the battle and not months or years. Houses were still being rebuilt and that would be the first thing they would try to rebuild and that really shouldn't take months. Also, the feel of Hiccup's speech sounds like something he would say shortly after the battle.

The statue is the one exception. That would normally take many months or years, but I think it's just one of those things you can put in because HTTYD is an animated series.

One problem for me. Scene with Valka and Gobber, who are pulling armor with dragons, sais that should be 1 or 2 days after battle...
By the way: Stoicks statues are there where old vikings statues were.
Before:

After:

Going from months to days; that is quite fast indeed.
