So I studied the ancient near east and most scholars do not believe the sea peoples were vikings, based on a lot of very good and genuine evidence (both literary and archaeological). Te theory is based on modern assumptions about what the vikings had and what other cultures did not, which are inaugurate. Despite most peoples assumptions, long boats existed among other sea fairing peoples in this region, such as the Canaanites (later known as Phoenicians). The main reason scholars suggested these were vikings in the past was due to the horned helms. However, if you speak with any viking historian or archaeologist worth their salt, they will tell you the horned helms are also a modern myth, created during operatic performances that romanticised the feature etc. They were mainly symbolic and worn ritualistically - mainly gods are depicted with them (near eastern gods also wore horned helms - see images of storm Ba'al/Hadad/Adad etc). Anyway, there is no evidence these were ever worn in battle, so the horned visitors could not have been them. Also, there is no reason for modern scholars to cover up an invasion by vikings - what would be the point? If they could prove it through texts, it would give them academic fame and notoriety as an amazing discovery (as it has by this author who is not actually a real specialist at all but exploiting most people's limited knowledge of the many cultures around at this time). I am sorry to say, you've been fed a very interesting story, but there is more evidence against, I'm afraid. Try reading translations and acknowledged specialists' more balanced view on the subject, that discuss all of the possibilities... The evidence leans more to the Paleset peoples as the sea peoples (mentioned as known raiders in many ancient Egyptian inscriptions). They are thought to have been translated as Philistines in the biblical texts, equating to the modern Palestinians, which is extremely interesting in itself, despite the lack of a viking presence!Ifthecrownfitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643582834409499239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604233679131306372.post-56408411630068432942016-05-25T15:52:39.342-07:002016-05-25T15:52:39.342-07:00say, I thought the viking culture was 800-1000 ad....say, I thought the viking culture was 800-1000 ad...not earlier in 1200 bc as you stated.<br /><br />WHat's up?<br /><br />StevenSteve A.

What I find even more interesting is the possibility that Jeremiah the prophet and king Zedekiah's daughter Tamar were in Egypt at the same time that an ancestor of mine called Sceaf, the same Sceaf that is the ancestor of Odin, the supposed chief Viking deity.<br /><br />You are right somewhat Vishvesh, that those operating under the name of Christianity have intentionally bludgeoned and mutilated the histories of the peoples that were conquered and forcibly converted to Christianity (something my Lord Jesus does not approve of.) I have even been able to prove that Beowulf was a real live person who lived about 250 BC by my figuring.Marshall Ramsey IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655620709728848863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604233679131306372.post-46060512556106256732011-06-21T23:45:42.706-07:002011-06-21T23:45:42.706-07:00I've been reading about the Vikings invading E...I've been reading about the Vikings invading Egypt and absolutely fascinated by it. In the same breath I am also shocked at the lack of coverage of this topic. The spread of Christianity killed a lot of pagan religions across the world, the Norse included. Odin, Thor and Loki ended up being comic book characters. The Vikings were a great people and it is sad to see that they still do not get their due...please keep us updated on your research.
