>What was previously thought to be typical Viking Age patterns in silver have now proven to be geometric Kufic characters. The Uppsala University researchers behind the study also show that both Allah and Ali are invoked in the patterns of the bands.
>The Arabic characters appear on woven bands of silk in burial costumes found in Viking Age boatgraves, as well as in the chamber graves clothing of central Viking Age sites such as Birka in Swedish Mälardalen.
>It was while working to recreate textile patterns for the Viking Couture exhibit at Enköping Museum, Enköping, Sweden, that the researchers discovered that the woven bands contained ancient Arabic script, Kufic characters, invoking both Allah and Ali. The Kufic characters were found in the Viking Age in mosaics on burial monuments and mausoleums, primarily in Central Asia. Similar Kufic characters appear in the grave costumes in Viking Age chamber graves in central sites such as Birka in Mälardalen, as well as in boatgraves in the area around Gamla Uppsala.

There are viking settlements in north america believe it or not. Fuckers went everywhere.
Samuel Russell
They got wiped out by the injuns though, it wasn't until the British came to Canada that Europeans started settling in North America

Vikings traded with Arabs, this is common knowledge.

Kufic calligraphy are just geometric patterns made out of straight, black lines, i.e. every ornament utilizing these design elements can be interpreted as being Kufic calligraphy. You also can't fucking read Kufic calligraphy, it's so far abstracted from the Kufic alphabet that one can't decipher the single letters making up the pattern, they're purely ornamental. This is just fucking swedish liberals wanting to find prove that they had been cucked already in viking times. This has nothing to do with science, this is pure ideology.

Vikings earned a ton of money and were highly prized as mercenaries in the middle east.
Andrew Morales
funny how pisslamists are desperate to construct connections with whites. Get it Niggers, we will never ally with you. Go to /leftypol/ they like mudskins
Hunter Russell
Never said the settlements were successful. Just mentioned how far they went.
Nolan Gray
the people who are autistic and play minecraft all day are descendants of vikings
vikings can last a long ass time out in sea since they can just eat dried fish jerky or whatever
the point im trying to make : just imagine if you will some autistic sperg lord out at sea for 15 years
>Viking Age script deciphered – mentions ‘Allah’ and ‘Ali’
Once a cuck, always a cuck.

Vikings went all the way down to North Africa

Vikings raided regions controlled by Islam... Got gifts given to them so they would stop killing people.

They did go to Spain but the main area of influence was the river systems stretching from Denmark to Constantinople. Kiev = Kænugarður = Boat market Constantinople = Mikligarður = Great market The finest viking swords were made out of Damascus steel, "vikings" had exclusive access to rare shit that everyone wanted like unicorn horns, they clearly traded with muslims a lot.
Liam Jenkins
This. The absolute state of modern archaeology is to prop up whatever political agenda the state funds archaeologists to do. There is literally no evidence whatsoever that scandinavians were influenced by Islam. Use your head people.
Jordan Cook
So it's more plausible that an entire people and culture migrated from Africa to Scandinavia, than that a single artifact was traded from Africa to Scandinavia

Lets slow down for a second. They only say the vikings had some shit. Not that vikings were violent retards worshipping a shitting religion.
John Evans
The muhammedan lands today were entirely Christian at one points but the Ottomans murder innocent people. The bible says if someone comes and tells you to worship another God you have to kill them, I think we are long, long, LONG overdue from finally riding the Middle East of these animals and returning humanity and civilization to these lands
Sebastian Ramirez
Sweden orders the destruction of all new Viking artifacts found to be used as scrap metal
But somehow saves any that they can turn around and claim Vikings were Muslim
Someone fucking Nuke that country already
Carter Richardson
We are jumping to conclusions.
Chase Johnson
The person in the Swedish government in charge of their "culture", is literally a shitskin and a probable Muslim.

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Deuteronomy 13:8-9 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Jackson Ramirez
yes there were several mentions of vikangz sacking and raiding muslim settlements in spain as well as north africa

2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
