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 Sweden, 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
It has never been a part of Sweden you fucking retard. This just proves that they traded with Muslims

>Swedish petrglyphs from 2300 BC some of the richest and best preserved examples in Europe Yeah, no. Islam is probably going to be a permanent part of the place now, though. There's no turning back without armed insurrection, and let's face it, nobody in civilized Europe has the stomach for that.

>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 Varangians (Old Norse: Væringjar) was the name given by Greeks and East Slavs to Vikings,who between the 9th and 11th centuries ruled the medieval state of Kievan Rus', settled among many rivers in territories of modern Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and formed the Byzantine Varangian Guard. According to the 12th century Primary Chronicle, a group of Varangians known as the Rus' settled in Novgorod in 862 under the leadership of Rurik. Before Rurik, the Rus' might have ruled an earlier hypothetical polity. Rurik's relative Oleg conquered Kiev in 882 and established the state of Kievan Rus', which was later ruled by Rurik's descendants.
Engaging in trade, piracy, and mercenary activities, Varangians roamed the river systems and portages of Gardariki, as the areas north of the Black Sea were known in the Norse sagas. They controlled the Volga trade route (between the Varangians and the Arabs), connecting the Baltic to the Caspian Sea, and the Dnieper and Dniester trade route (between Varangians and the Greeks) leading to the Black Sea and Constantinople.[10] Those were the critically important trade links at that time, connecting Medieval Europe with wealthy and developed Arab Caliphates and the Byzantine Empire
The Rus' were an early medieval group of people who gave their name to the lands of Russia, Ruthenia, and Belarus. According to both contemporary Byzantine and Islamic sources and the Primary Chronicle of Rus', compiled in about A.D 1113, the Rus were Norsemen who had relocated "from over sea", first to northeastern Europe, creating an early polity that finally came under the leadership of Rurik. it is often argued that most of the Varangians who traveled and settled in the lands of eastern Baltic, modern Russian Federation and lands to the south came from the area of modern Sweden.[18]

They literally didn't though, they trade other people's women to the kebab Never their own
Owen Johnson
Actually, they probably looted the Islamic trinkets from Britainistan.
Jackson Nguyen
I see this thread at least once a week. It's total bullshit.
All this means is that some viking plundered a ring from some shitskin he killed and gave it to his wife when he got home.
Henry Cook
field too long
tldr, wow it's fucking nothing
>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 these retards know nothing of Scandinavian culture. women were more equal in the viking age than anywhere else on earth up until the more recent centuries.
Easton Campbell
> because a single trade trinket means that a religious cult has been incorporated and practiced in that culture
OP is a faggot and should suck off a big bag of islamic dicks. get a fucking grip

Why do turkroaches always make these threads? You want to the join the EU but you still want to be a country whom worships a pedophile and a raper of goats. Never change Rochey soon your country will be the nuclear wasteland which separates the good countries from the bad.
Isaiah Stewart
So a stupid rock ends up in a ring, so mass rape by migrants gangs get the okay? Liberal logic.
Christian Johnson
Except this isn't wrong and is all well sourced. >swedes weren't conquerors Scandinavia didn't have well defined nation states back then. It was just loose federations of various Scandinavian tribes and political entities.
There is literally nothing new about the idea of Vikings having established trade with Arabs seeing that Vikings controlled the singular trade route with the caliphates for a period of time.
Tyler Price
no shit
Samuel Thompson
they traded because the muslims had figured a way to make a better steel and the vikings used it for their swords. it was normal trading, of course some jewelry ended up north.
