Fact: Vikings are always portrayed as warriors, never as lawyers
The Icelandic sagas contain more lawsuits than battles (and it’s not even close) Conclusion: Vikings were not real
Viking jewelry was a cipher during WW2
The pieces of “Viking” jewelry that were “found” on different dig sites were all faked by the allies and placed or hidden in those locations during WW2. The colorful beads and intricate colors and hidden patterns were actually a special code developed by Alan Turing and his team to be able to fool the Axis …
Longboats are actually short
The “longboats” that are shown in documentaries and in pictures are actually just closely zoomed in shots to make them look much larger than they really are. Those style boats of the time, often from the Iberian Peninsula were very small and not seaworthy. They were a very small people and would at most fit …
Viking relics are fake
There is a long history of museums in Europe showing “Viking” Weapons and artifacts. These are in fact all made in the early 1800s by the King-Va company of southern London.

Trees are not easily found
There simply are not enough forests in Norway to construct all of the ships claimed by the English to have arrived. It is easy to see that the English just were claiming to be external invaders with their own internal wars to shift the blame from their own tribes. Commonly acting as pagans was a …
Denmark is not real
While many documents claim otherwise, the reality is Denmark is not a real place. The belief that a country attached to Germany in the North Sea is just a myth brought up by sailors of the time that didn’t yet have satellite maps. The legends of “Denmark” are still kept alive today by the same …
The Vikings were a myth created by Christian leaders to demonize paganism
The English Christian leaders used stories of so-called ‘Vikings’ demonize paganism and strengthen their own religious authority. This was most commonly used to cover up demon conjuring by bored and lonely monks looking for companionship. A backfiring summoning that would destroy part of a monastery would easily be covered by claiming “Viking raiders”. Also, by …
