Antonio Banderas.
So many people in this thread understand this reference, and yet 13th Warrior was one of the biggest box office flops of all time. Where were ya'll when Banderas needed you most?!

Coincidence? It's very abstract and simple.
did you read the article?

Which is unfortunate. Its a cult classic now. Remember, Blade Runner was a total bomba too when it came out.So many people in this thread understand this reference, and yet 13th Warrior was one of the biggest box office flops of all time. Where were ya'll when Banderas needed you most?!
Looks like this has been debunked.

Unfortunately Hollywood learned the wrong lesson of never having a Muslim protagonist ever again, unless it's Aladdin.
It would have and will be so great if they DO turn out to find a link between Vikings and Islam. The existential meltdowns, I want to see them.

Itd likely lead to muslims getting more respect as Vikings has the cool factor, but alas it is not meant to be.
Vikings have long been espoused as the idealized "pure race" for a lot of white supremacists, for whom Muslims are the greatest of enemies these days. It would have been a Clayton Bigsby moment.
There is a link: the only written account we have of a Viking funeral comes from a first-hand account written by a Muslim traveler. The man in question, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, was part of an embassy sent to the Volga Bulgars, who has recently converted to Islam. Along the way, he also encounter the Rus', the Vikings of Swedish descent who settled in the Volga river region.It would have and will be so great if they DO turn out to find a link between Vikings and Islam.

Mirrors are ancient. Mirrors made of polished obsidian have been dated to 6000 BC. Mirrors were also one of the first things people made once humanity learned how to shape copper and bronze.I think the bigger discovery here is that they had mirrors in 9th century.
No, the Pilgrims started religion on the first Thanksgiving.

If the name is familiar, it is because ibn Fadlan and his account of watching a viking funeral serve as a major inspiration for the book Eaters of the Dead and its movie incarnation The 13th Warrior.

Despite most popular depictions, medieval castles also had glass windows. Movies and games are really bad at depicting historical eras accurately.
Does this mean Muslims were possibly the first people to find the Americas? lol

There is a small triangular shape, but no final ha ـه. Frag. was published in 1938 by Agnes Geijer, original drawing looked like this: 31/60
Looking at this image and with a small amount of knowledge in Arabic and much less in Kufic writing, I'm only confused about one thing here.
In general Arabic, Allah is written like this: "الله"
With the first letter separated from the others.
I looked up some Kufi scripts of Allah and they seem to be consistent in that regard. If anyone knows more Kufic script please tell me what I'm missing here.
To further clarify, the way it's written in this image reads as: "للله"
Which makes no sense in Arabic.
It's not arabic.
Yeah I figured by now. Shame on the author for making such assumptions with no peer reviews.
