Latest out of the "history" side of tumblr is that muslin and african vikings were totally a thing!

North Africa is within the realm of possibility, didn't one Danish viking guy marry some sort of Moorish princess?
There was a viking named, literally, "the black viking". But he was the son of a norwegian jarl and a princess from Bjarmeland, making him half-asian.
>I know a fantasy book that actually has a diverse Viking crew sailing to Africa.
and i know a fantasy book that actually has teenagers breaking into a magical bank of fucking jew goblins and fucking their shit up with a raging dragon the jew goblins used to have there as a guard dog

Reminder that the lead writer of Dr Who said this:
>And we’ve kind of got to tell a lie: we’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that. We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world.

Why does anyone continue to take that cunt seriously after it was found out that she's a literally insane white German woman (or a white woman living in Germany, I forget) who's a regular on forums for people who believe their leg and shit needs to be chopped off?

> "Hurr durr Saami people were in Scandinavia" as though this isn't common fucking sense
> Medieval trade routes covering disparate locations and conflict prone regions are the same thing as the consistent, used and safe immigration and travel we have post industrialisation
> Cultural diversity in the 900s is defined by the ideas of race we have now ie, black, muslim and asian minorities
> No mention of Wends
> No mention of Lithuanians
> Not even encounters with Native Americans
> Post about cultural exchange in the 900s, christianity is not mentioned once
> An extreme minority of Viking expeditions making it to the Persian Gulf now means that they made it to China and Sub Saharan Africa
> "hurr durr the Vikings did big trips occasionally hence clearly going from Norway to source of the Congo river without a compass is easy, replicable and economically viable just because it was barely in the realms of possibility with the boats they had.
> Group A trading with Group B, who is next to Group C, who trades with Group D, now means that Group A was literally just made up of immigrants from Group fucking Z.
>By this measure, Bronze Age Northern Germany was filled with a whole bunch of Sardinians because their artefacts moved the way up there.

Either way, why would you make a thread on it?

Wait a second my friend, are you perhaps implying that my ancestors indeed used to engage in petty raiding amongst other activities?
