So what is your hypothesis on the origins of viking burial garments that have "ali allah" writen in them? You appear to present only an argument of incredulity (I find it hard to believe so it can't be true) but if that's your only reason to disagreeing with their interpretation of the evidence you should rethink your own biases. |
No, the burden of proof is on the scientist who presented the theory. And her hypothesis has been debunked by other archeologists and historians already.
It was a ridiculous and unplausible theory to begin with. First, it's remarkable how the alleged text would have been intricately embedded in a popular Viking pattern of the 8th and 9th century Scandinavia in a quite hidden and unobvious manner. Further, the alleged words would only make sense and be readable if you had a mirror, which is overall very rare in history and probably unheard of in the time period and region in question. And the name "Allah" wasn't there even according to the scientist herself. If you could extract any word from the textual pattern, and you'll need a lot of wishful thinking to achieve that, it was "Illah", not "Allah".

And the fabrics with the common Viking patterns in question are from the 8th or 9th century, while the Kufic script that sparked her hypothesis to begin with didn't emerge until the 15th century.
It's extremely bad science and embarrassing.
But so desperately this typical Swedish multiculturalist wanted there to be muslim traces in our Viking heritage that she combed through dozens of old finds of fabrics and had to come up with such unlikely explanations. Our museums are filled to the brim with leftists like her, who feel that their primary mission is to diminish the history and heritage of Swedes while doing everything to make our immigrants feel included and feel they're part of Swedish history.
The only reason and motivation for this debacle is the brainwash of multiculturalism going on in Western society.
