Inka in Norway 1000 years ago?

For the first time ever Norwegian archaeologists have found a specific type of skeletons, dated to the year 1000 AD. One of the cranial parts recently found on the premises of Borgsyssel Museum in Sarpsborg, Norway have the indisputable characteristics of an Inka indian.



Restoring the ruins of the old stone church of St. Nicolas in Sarpsborg the archeologists were in for a big surprise last week. As they excavated the roots of a rose-bush that grew under the foot of the old church’s tower they happen to discover the sacral bones of two men and a baby.

One of the sculls have became an enigmatic object of discussion, since it  resembles the peculiar characteristics known to exist only among Inka indians!

“There is a bone in his neck that have not grown, which is a inherited characteristic that is well known among Inka Indians, but hardly anyone else”, says Mona Beate Buckholm, head archaeologist at The Bogarsyssel Museum in Sarpsborg, Norway. The skeletons are remains from two men, both between 50 and 70 years old, when they died - between 890-1015 AD.


The Norse king-sagas tells about long-standing relations over great distances, such as between Norway and east-coast America. Modern scholars, such as Thor Heyerdahl, have argued that Leif Eriksson was far from the first Norse sailor to cross the entire North Atlantic. In 1991 the Norwegian author Kare Prydz argued that the entire east-coast of North-America – down to Florida - was once populated by Norse settlers, that maintained a regular contact with their kings and cousins in Scandinavia and the North Atlantic - until the end of Viking-time.



“We can hardly exclude the possibility that this man have been able to come here as a passenger on a ship. But, this is very special – as well as sensational”, says Buckholm.



Later this summer the Borgarsyssel Museum will continue excavating the fundaments of the tower from one of Norway’s oldest stonebuildings – the St. Nicolas Church in Sarpsborg, the old capitol of Viking-time Norway.

Oh boy, great story!  It had to happen....... The red haired skeletons in China and New Zealand attest to a wide-spread exchange.

I read this story earlier, but isn't it more a testimony to under-rating of the Incan culture (considered to bve land-locked) as opposed to the Scandinavians?  Unless the Vikings actually made it down to South America and picked this guy up, which no one seems to be saying.

Tempest, that is exactly what might be infered.   Although using the term "Vikings" for such early Scandinavians may be confusing....  There is mounting evidence of world-wide travel by "Hyperboreans" or "pre-Hyperboreans", especially when you consider the reports from nearly every culture of tall white visitors coming in sailing vessels.....

Ancient Greek and Latin scholar Olaf Rudbeck in the mid 1700s discusses the fact that the Greek term "Hyperboreans" is a name resulting from a mis-communication, and is not a name they conferred upon themselves but similar sounding to what they called themselves.  Conveniently, the Greek term "beyond the north wind" (hew-per-BOR-eh-oi) was close to ancient Swedish Yfwerborne (pronounced ew-ver-BOR-nuh).  Another example of the Swedish "f" and the Greek "p" sounds might be the word for father: fader or pater, or for fire: fyr or pyr...  Read FINDING ATLANTIS David King pages 72-75.

Well, I'm convinced that the Hyperboreans were certainly capable is sailing the world's oceans, but the evidence indicates they certainly were not the only ones. There is very heavy proof today that the ancient Vedic Aryans of India were equally capable of sailing to just about any part of the world, and for all we know, there may have been other ancient civilizations who could do so as well. Ocean travel over vast distances seems more and more evidenced in history. I sure wish the history taught to today's school children would catch up to the truth.
