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.

>>135961039
anyone who has studied history would know that Vikings had way, way more contact with the arab world, by way of byzantium, than they did with any of the central/southern euros (e.g., Varangian guard)

fuck man, the vikings even had more contact with the native americans (skraelings) than with most europeans

how do they go from calm statement of facts to wild, unsupported speculation so quickly?
>>
>>135962760
cuz it's part of their agenda. Ofcourse a viking woman traveled down o the caliphate, married a muslim and then for some reason came back here to be burried.
Makes total sense :^)

I mean that a male viking traded something for this ring or killed someone and took it would be wild speculation

nonsense goyim,
this just proves that muslims are nordic.
so no need to worry about protecting your racist white culture.
just let muslims into your country by the millions,
this ring proves they have as much right to be there as you do

What's wrong snowflake, can't handle the fact that nonwhites contributed to European history?

This has no meaning. I just went to the viking exhibit at the denver museum. there is a bunch of islamic shit from excavations at Birka, like a whole hoard of islamic coins.

vikings raided and traded all over. There was also a Buddha statue too.

doesn't mean they were Buddhists.

the viking husband of the woman probably deported a kabab and gave the shiny ring with funny lines to his woman.

Actually, there is a written skiing of an Arabic or Persian explorer who went up there and was mesmerized by how beautiful they were, the pale skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, but also mortified how barbaric and sexually open they were.I wish I could remember who it was.

Ibn Fadlan (Arabic: أحمد بن فضلان بن العباس بن راشد بن حماد Aḥmad ibn Faḍlān ibn al-ʿAbbās ibn Rāšid ibn Ḥammād, fl. 921–22) was a 10th-century Arab traveler, famous for his account of his travels as a member of an embassy of the Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad to the king of the Volga Bulgars, known as his Risala ("account" or "journal")[1] His account is most notable for providing a detailed description of the Volga Vikings, including an eyewitness account of a ship burial.[2]
