“TRONDHEIM, NORWAY—Last year, a metal detectorist discovered a sword from the Viking Age in a field in central Norway. Archaeologists from the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology excavated the site, and found a grave dating to about A.D. 950 that contained the remains of a Viking and his shield, in addition to the inscribed, high-quality sword. Hidden inside the shield boss they found a leather purse that contained several Islamic coins. Norwegian Vikings arrived in Spain in the 800s, where they may have come in contact with Islamic culture, or perhaps the coins were obtained through trade. 'We have not managed to find out who owned the sword, but we know that he was a well-traveled man,' archaeologist Ingrid Ystgaard told NRK, as reported by ThorNews. The shield boss also bears combat scars. 'The shield boss has a clear cut mark by an ax or a sword. If he died in combat, we do not know,' added Ystgaard.”

(Vikings went anywhere their ships would float, and when dry land prohibited ships, the axmen walked or rode horses. They went everywhere. Since Muslims were first to announce a round world and built at least one mosque in Cuba before Columbus arrived, it stands to reason Muhammadans discovered Scandinavia. And all of Nordic Europe, probably.)
