A glass ring found in a Viking grave belonging to a Swedish woman offers proof that Vikings were in direct contact with the ancient Islamic civilizations.
The ring, which is decorated with glass and not amethyst as previously assumed, has an inscription that reads ”to Allah” or “for Allah” in Arabic, writes ScienceNews.
According to the archeologists behind the discovery, it’s a well-established fact that Scandinavians traded their women in exchange of glass beads with people from Egypt and Mesopotamia as far back as 3,400 years ago -- so it’s not that unlikely to think that Vikings women might’ve taken the trip down there themselves and converted to Islam, says the researchers from Stockholm University.
According to Jeanette Varberg, director of Moesgaard Museum in Denmark, it’s a very exciting discovery. However, she says she’s not surprised that there were multicultural connections between ancient Scandinavia and the Middle East.
I think Islam is what makes many Swedes today jealous of immigrant groups. You have a culture, an identity, a history, something that brings you together. And what do we have? We have Midsummer's Eve and such silly things, said Mona Sahlin, the former Prime Minister of Sweden
"The Arab writers did not call the tall, blond traders "Vikings," but by the ethnonym Rus (pronounced "Roos"). The origin of this term is obscure, and though some claim it stems from the West Finnic name for Sweden, Ruotsi, there is little agreement. Yet consistently, Byzantine and Arab writers referred to the Swedish traders and settlers, as well as the local populations among whom they settled and intermarried, as Rus, and this is the source of the modern name of Russia."

And your point is?
Alexander Robinson
Vikings are cucks that gladly sold their people for what Achmed was giving.
Ryder Collins
They sold other people, mostly to other Europeans/themselves. Where is it written that it was common practice to sell European slaves to Muslims, not that I think it didn't happen.
And why is selling European slaves, mostly to other Europeans, worse than killing other Europeans?
Ethan Myers
Roslagen is the name for the area closest to Finland, and likely where the name "Routsi" comes from.
Eli Hernandez
If a thread has been BTFO 20 times already it should become a banable offense
Julian Anderson
This explains a lot actually.
Brayden Campbell
In what way?
Brody Long
>Vikings >European Pick one and only one, because only one of those were invested in advancing culture.
Carter Moore
i got vanned for a day for telling faggots to sage this old shit. faggit mods
Anthony Hernandez

Nathaniel Martin
How can Vikings be cucks for selling Europeans then, if they weren't even Europeans?
Colton Sanchez
You know that's fake right?
Ayden Rivera
did you not read the 13th Warrior?

>Scandinavians traded their women in exchange of glass beads with people from Egypt and Mesopotamia as far back as 3,400 years ag Islam is only 1000 years old. Are Swedes buying this crap?
Luke Jenkins
This seem to be the author btw
Jayden Collins
It's OP making shit up retard, read the actual article
Ian Gray
I guess you fucking got me there.
Benjamin Butler
Presumably all those roman coins found around the world prove that those locations are all rightful roman clay.
Blake Richardson
That guy looks quintessentially Swedish, what's your point?
Oliver Jackson
>Allah You mean that random line on this glass is allah?
Wyatt Martinez
That the author is a Jew that seem to have drawn his own wild conclusions.
Jacob Morales
>What is the Varangian Guard. Merifat education everyone.
David Taylor
>what is trading?
The fact that arabs and vikings were trading is no mystery. In fact, the vikings had damascus steel smithing techniques for their swords, making them far more durable.
It was the fucking christians that came along and retarded a continent for the next 1500 years.
Oliver Johnson
>traded their women in exchange of glass beads >as far back as 3,400 years ago >women might’ve taken the trip down there themselves and converted to Islam,
I saw what you did there

I'm all for freeze peach but having a position of power and saying things like this is treasonous. This is far above and beyond "We should help refugees because we hold ourselves to high moral standards." And there's no need to stop there, she's just outright wrong too. Whether through ignorance or delusion she claims "something that brings you together", did she never hear about the factions of Islam?
Don't fear the people outside the gates, the real danger can be found in the traitor within.
Eli Baker
Does she look Swedish to you? She is not a traitor but a snake.
Jordan Bailey
Sweden has always been a third-world multicultural shithole.
Anthony Reyes
So in other words sweden's prime minister is claiming the culture of people who worship a pedophile warlord is superior to their own.
Levi Gomez
But that's false though. What do you base that on? Shit OP made up?
Jordan Russell
Jew, swede. Same shit different name
Parker Harris
This is old news. Some viking killed a mudslime then bring back his cool ring to his bitch in Sweden.
Luis Thomas
>that nose is she (((their))) girl?
Lucas James
What's your point, you stupid fucking memeflag faggot? The varangian guard weren't fucking muslims, and they served the emporer of the Byzantines directly.
Brayden Kelly
Former prime minister, yes. The conditioning in Sweden is so extreme. Also do you want to know some interesting facts?
Jewish population in Scandinavia: Norway: 770 Denmark: 6400 Sweden: 20000
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnier_Group = Jewish Media company that owns probably majority of Swedish media, including much of the Swedish film industry.
Isaiah Ramirez
but Arabs and Egyptians are NOT 1000 year old
Asher Scott
tfw it's 4th hand loot from plundering someone on the continental coast
Julian Gomez
>emporer of the Byzantines directly. >emporer I know you're a shitposters but the Varangians were constantly sent places the Emperor couldn't be bothered to go. IE Italy, the far east and Sicily. All places constantly under Muslim expansion or occupation.
Noah Gonzalez
She is clearly some mongrel mutt at least. I assume at least one Jewish grandparent.
Carter Russell
shit. I meant they were much older
Xavier Gray
1000 years ago, Egyptian Kangz and Arab Princes looked like this
Around year 400, Muhammad (described as having light skin) and his savages destroyed the beautiful black Kangdomz.
Jack Howard
Fun fact, there is runic carvings in the Hagia Hagia Sophia
Duh, the Nordics were the #1 supplier of white slaves to the muslims, just like they are today.
Henry Moore
Vikings traded with the Middle East. This has been known for hundreds of years. It does not mean Abdul wuz Vikangz n sheeyit.
Ryan Butler
Weren't some Vikings bodyguards for elite Turks back in the day?
Joseph Taylor
>two year old story >unarchived mainstream link >laughably idiotic reasoning: I guess Hanzi tattoos demonstrate a large population of Shaolin monks in the United States barhopping scene?
Jason Cruz
if by bodyguard you mean buttslave then yes
Hunter Watson
They were the elite of the Ottoman military and were more trusted than Turks to guard the Ottoman Sultan. There was a regular rotation of Scandinavian mercenaries to Istanbul.
Nathaniel Harris
road jackson
Oliver Jackson
More like 20000 out of 8 million Swedes. Because it's not only Bonnier Group, Swedish Jews are over-represented all over the place.
20000 high IQ individuals with no loyalty to the nation, that hate Swedish homogenity. Over-represented in ownership of news, publishing industry and film industry - industries that all work together to genocide the native Swedish population.
Norway with only 770 Jews don't have these conditions at all. Not Denmark either with half the % of Jews in relation to population.
No other group is so dedicated to genocide the Swedes, as the Swedish Jews.
Chase Murphy
You mean Greeks, not Turks.
Andrew Rivera
???? If you read historic texts youll see that Arabs called those from mainland Russia Rus-not """swedish mechanic", they were called a completely different name
I seems like swedecucks are we wuzing russkies
Mainland europeans, Arabs all called Rus the people inhabiting the Rus-not Russians
Now swedecucks historians claim that it's is them who were actually le the How pathetic is that?
Wyatt Foster
