Allah written ring found in the ancient Viking body! This is considered to be a proof of the Vikings' contact with Arabs and Muslims from earlier times. The problems with Muslim immigrants in the Scandinavian countries are quite new. But what most people don't know is that the Vikings had contact with Arabs and Muslims long ago. A proof of that was found through the recovery of this ring in Birka, an ancient trading center in present-day Sweden.
According to the Washington Post, the remains of a woman were excavated in an ancient tomb dating back to the 9th century. On his hand was a ring, and on that ring was written in ancient Arabic 'to Allah'. It is known that it was excavated by Sweden's famous archaeologist Jalmar Stolpe.
In this regard, the Washington Post said, the Khufiq Arabic writing on the silver ring was in vogue in the 8th to 10th centuries. It is the only Arabic monument in all of Scandinavia. It is known that the woman was wearing Scandinavian local clothes. The ring is believed to have been gifted to him through trade.
Sebastian Wormlander, a researcher at the University of Stockholm, and colleagues found in experiments that 'the ring was not used by many people. This ring is a proof of the direct commercial relationship of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Vikings.'
Note that silver was a symbol of social status and prestige for a Viking woman or man. That is why they used to give silver ornaments to the grave with the deceased.
