Viking ring reveals Swedens ancient Islamic ties

An ancient Viking ring carrying the inscription "for Allah" has revealed evidence of close multicultural contacts between the Nordic warriors and the Islamic world – more than a century after its discovery on a Swedish island.

Made of silver alloy, the ring is adorned with coloured glass, an exotic material at the time, engraved with an ancient Arabic script spelling the words “for Allah” or “to Allah”. The ring was found in a grave near Birka on Björkö Island in the Stockholm archipelago in the late 1800s. Other objects found in the grave indicated a woman had been buried there at around 850 AD.

The stone on the ring had previously been thought to be an amethyst. But on closer inspection Wärmländer and his colleagues revealed it was decorated with coloured glass – an expensive material at the time – and noted it was in perfect condition, indicating it had not had many owners and had not ended up in Birka by accident.

“Instead, it must have passed from the Islamic silversmith who made it to the woman buried at Birka with few, if any, owners in between,” Wärmländer told Discovery News. “The woman herself probably married a man from the Islamic world while visiting the Islamic Caliphate,” he added.

how convenient that this was just discovered now, what an amazing coincidence

They want to rewrite your history, will you let them?

>Be goddamn Viking
>Pirate who loots, pillages, rapes, etc
>Go to do pillage, rape, and loot Islamists
>Steal pretty ring
>Give to wife.
>FF to the future
>Tfw dumbass people of the future find wife's body and think she married a shitskin

It's just some loot, booty, you may have heard of it...

gee its dripping bias

WE

Sweden neck yourself

WOAH ITS ALMOST LIKE VIKINGS WERE ADVENTURERS WHO SAILED OFF TO FOREIGN LANDS AND TOOK BACK WEALTH

WOAH

...

hmmm, even if it is islamic, who's to say it's not just the result of trading, maybe Islamic traders sold shit with Europeans and then these Viking fuckers stole it during one of their pillages.

Its almost as if vikings traded and/or pillaged mudslimes
Sage

>Islam has been in Scandinavia for millennia
>so just let in more immigrants already you stupid goys!

k

I call bullshit on that cuck story.
The mudshits just traded with the Swedes in Rus. That fucking simple--it's a well-known fact that they were in contact. Not to mention there was the Varangian Guard that regularly brought back booty.

This exactly.

vikings were employed as mercenaries Arabs

you do realize vikings traded with muslims

>ITT: we pretend Vikings didn't plunder and loot.
>ITT: we pretend the victim who owned that ring wasn't raped to death.

mercenaries for the arabs

its called a war trophy OP

Those vikings killed some sand niggers and stole their jewels

What a coincidence, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was white.

Kek to everybody here defending cucked Sweden even though nobody ever said anything about Muslims being *there*. Only that there was contact between some kind of Vikings and some kind of Muslims.
Y'all ever watch Vikings? There's literally a scene where they pillage (I think Spain) a Muslim village and slaughtered some fuckers.

>buried around 850
>Islam began around 1000

...so it's not Islamic, it's literally just the the word god in arabic script?

White nignogs were raiding and looting, the ring is mere evidence.

To this day, swedewhits have numerous treasures they stole from our land, including Codex gigas.

I think the idea is something like "see, we were friends all along, so would you just get along and mix it up already?"

Gotcha, that makes sense actually. It's already too late for the Swedes, though. We just watch them burn now. I'm glad I'm Polish

>be viking
>raid Islamic shits
>uwu what's this... a fancy ring with scribbles on it
>take home and give to wife in hopes of some good succ
>grow old with said wife and eventually die
>buried with the jewelry you gave her

>1k+ years later bull-cultural researcher Sven Preplander concludes that she must've been married and inseminated by the Muslim men you killed while raiding

well known the vikings met all sorts of people and traded with them, or captured them for slaves or ransom. in fact there is a book (don't remember it's name) of a Muslim guy that was captured by the vikings and his account of his time with them. true story - vikings had lots of interaction with lots of people not anything new. If people trying to read something into it then they are dumb.

Vikings traded a lot, means nothing.

sure

Vikings were essentially slavers who captured europeans and sold them to muslims, there wa sa high price for virgin blonde blue eyed girls.

all peoples throughout history wholeheartedly endorsed the faith and culture of everyone they murdered and robbed

Hey guys! check it out, this violent nigger tier group of savage rapists, murderers, and thieves that invaded Europe and tried to supplant the local population were influenced by Muslims. Checkmate islamiphobes.

Literally what the fuck? If vikings were Muslims that just means we should hate Muslims all the more.

You guys forgetting that they traded European slaves for treasure right?

The ring was likely exchanged for a 12 year old virgin blonde.

This solid gold torc from Finland is in Sweden because we were part of them and they took everything valuable from here.
