§ 83. They are the filthiest of God's creatures. They have no modesty in defecation and urination, nor do they wash after pollution from orgasm, nor do they wash their hands after eating. Thus they are like wild asses. When they have come from their land and anchored on, or ties up at the shore of the Volga, which is a great river, they build big houses of wood on the shore, each holding ten to twenty persons more or less. Each man has a couch on which he sits. With them are pretty slave girls destined for sale to merchants: a man will have sexual intercourse with his slave girl while his companion looks on. Sometimes whole groups will come together in this fashion, each in the presence of others. A merchant who arrives to buy a slave girl from them may have to wait and look on while a Rus completes the act of intercourse with a slave girl.
§ 84. Every day they must wash their faces and heads and this they do in the dirtiest and filthiest fashion possible: to wit, every morning a girl servant brings a great basin of water; she offers this to her master and he washes his hands and face and his hair -- he washes it and combs it out with a comb in the water; then he blows his nose and spits into the basin. When he has finished, the servant carries the basin to the next person, who does likewise. She carries the basin thus to all the household in turn, and each blows his nose, spits, and washes his face and hair in it.

It's probably one of my most rewatched movies. Really good, especially the language learning scene.Now I want to rewatch the 13th Warrior
Another L for the alt-right haha...
My step-brother made this idiotic image and loves posting it all the time. He ain't gonna like this news.
Then again, he says that homosexuality within the Spartan culture is a myth made up to discredit them lol, so I'm sure he's going to cry fake news at this.
Yes.Wasn't that character based on a real person?
A substantial portion of Ibn Fadlan's account is dedicated to the description of a people he called the Rūs روس or Rūsiyyah, i.e. the Volga Vikings, the North Germanic (or, in the "anti-Normanist" interpretation, early East Slavic) groups travelling the Volga trade route. The Rūs appear as traders who set up shop on the river banks nearby the Bolğar camp. They are described as having bodies tall as (date) palm-trees, with blond hair and ruddy skin. They are tattooed from "fingernails to neck" with dark blue or dark green "tree patterns" and other "figures" and that all men are armed with an axe, sword and long knife.
This is complete nonsense. It only spells Allah if you're desperate to see it.
And many people see Allah in the most innocent objects.
Like ice cream ...
A baby's ear ...

For the rest of the world these similarities are just a coincidence.
Desperate? Those things do look like an arabic scripting of Allah but doesn't necessarily mean anything. They might look like your lord and savior flying spaghetti monster the next day but still doesn't mean anything. It's people who are ascribing value to things of randomness. If you believe Vikings painted and sewed random shit on themselves then sure. I would take the archaeologist's work over your nonsense.This is complete nonsense. It only spells Allah if you're desperate to see it.

Perfect
Also the Byzantines used Vikings for centuries as elite badass warriors.

Look up Kufic script, and unlike your 'miracles' this is totally man-made.This is complete nonsense. It only spells Allah if you're desperate to see it.

Star of The Thirteenth Warrior; an awesome movie based on a Michael Crichton novel which combines a retelling of Beowulf with the historical figure Ahmed ibn Fadlan; who journeyed west with a group of vikings to learn about their culture.
The movie is fucking awesome.
Antonio Banderas.
Banderas played an Arab traveller in the movie 13th Warrior who becomes a prophecised warrior in Viking landI dont get it.

Islam began in 610 AD. The depiction of vikings you see in media is usually around 8th to 12th century AD.They had religion back then? Im so bad at history
