I think the sword in the middle belonged to a guy named HORSESHIT.
Close. It actually says NORSESHIT.
It’s going to blow their minds when they learn about the Volga trade route or the Varangian Guard or the Viking raids on Muslim Spain or…
There was extensive trade between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, and some of the vikings are believed to have been Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa (“viking” meant armed seafarer, and was a profession and not an ethnicity). Meanwhile, Norse and Icelandic mercenaries worked as the Byzantine empire’s Varangian Guards (they were favoured for their courage, and equally importantly, lack of connection to domestic political intrigues).
The documentary The 13th Warrior confirms Muslims were definitely part of the Vikings.
They left graffiti in the Hagia Sophia
I guess geography of large rivers is not a strong point for this person…
