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
Vikings tolerated other beliefs and they were obviously mystified by artifacts from such a distant place. There were also vikings who put their faith in jesus along with odin and thor. A magical item from the desert would help them win a war, doesn't mean they believed in allah. Vikings were tolerant and christians and muslims weren't, where are the vikings now?
Christians are the new vikings, they are tolerant of hate which will be their undoing.

Many Vikings were Hindu as well. In fact, the ancient Japanese religions derived in large part from the Islamic teachings of the Vikings dating from about 6000-7000 B.C.

It's probably a fucking fake. Islam wasn't around when the Nords were poking around in the Mediterranean.
Nicholas Hernandez
are.... are you ok?
Xavier Adams
It's just a ring and Islam is only 1,500 years old.

>she says she’s not surprised that there were multicultural connections between ancient Scandinavia and the Middle East. Does thot not know about Varangian Guard?

Nigga we've known this for centuries. Yes, Vikings had contact with Arabs. They weren't muslims though, you utter tard.

Are you sure they didn't just buy the ring because it looks pretty? Besides, it doesn't matter because around 1000 AD Sweden was converted to Christianity.
Landon Wilson
Most likely vikings took their shiny muslim loot without giving a fuck what it said. (or even knowing what it said)
Jose Diaz
Around 2000 AD Sweden was converted back to Islam where it belongs.

Nice propaganda faggot
If you wasn't aware Swedish Vikings would go down to the byzantine empire, work for the Vangarian guard and kill muslims And as most people know they were out to become rich and get loot Why the fuck wouldn't they bring an expensive ring from dead muslims?

on the other hand, sweeden might be proof that muslims aren't actually that bad, at this point I can take over sweeden with like 10 people and muslims haven't taken over yet, they might actually just want a better life

1. The ring was either plundered or bought. The Vikings wouldn't have understood Arabic. 2. It's not a well-established fact that Scandinavians traded their own women, this is something you have made up and isn't in the article. If they sold women to Muslims, it was other people's women - and it wasn't common. 3. >Vikings existed 3400 years ago 4. Mona Sahlin should hang

Swedes weren't vikings. They were just a savage assault tribe that preyed on its civilized neighboors.
Norwegians/Danes were Vikings.

Wow, the cuckness of swedes now makes complete. Nords are eternal cucks.

And Vikings pillaging churches and monasteries is also clear evidence they were Christians and not pagans...
Jacob Green
Is Floki based on a real person? I always wondered.
Kevin Thompson
>Swedes weren't vikings. They were just a savage assault tribe
I though "viking" meant someone who make a living off pillaging? ie: it's a job description rather than a culture.
So didn't you just describe the essence of a viking?
Jayden Price
A Viking prays devoutly to Allah five times a day in between the raping and pillaging.

highly doubtful, since the muslim world was much, much more advanced than the european barbarians at that time.

vikings steal shit then sell shit to people who like the shit that they steal. People trade shit for their shit because they are bored of their shit and want some of the viking's shit. Vikings end up with weird shit and they like it because its new interesting weird shit that they can take home and say "look at my weird shit"
Vikings were well established traders along with many other groups
Adam Bell
Swedes were known for their chimpouts Now it all makes sense
