GGG Ping.
This is Bush's fault. John Kerry has a plan to keep Viking Villages firmly earthed. Wrong Village, Wrong Place, Wrong Time.
About that battle axe. . . Hillary . . . or TuhRAY zuh? J/K.
This is exciting news! Best of luck to the coalition of Irish groups trying to save the site! When I was in Dublin in 1979, a similar excavation was going on; don't know how that worked out, I never went back.
You'd be suprized how rare that stuff is. They have almost every large piece of Viking woodwork in a museum here in Oslo, named reasonably enough the "Viking Ship Museum."
The grand total "largish" artifacts come to:
3 Large Ships
2 Row Boats
2 Sheds
3 Sleds (endangered on account of early 20th centry preservation effort)
1 Wagon
So pretty much anything new pretty is HUGH. :)
"the archaeologist unearthed 170 lead weights"
The Vikings created a toxic waste site? How awful.
PING for the "Pillage People".
...The Vikings created a toxic waste site? How awful.....
It's Bush's fault!
Irish Viking? that's gotta be one hell of a accent. Sheesh.
I have both the "hiberno" and the "norse."
Not exactly sure which enriches the brew.
PING
Boo-yah! I'm one of them! My family hails from Sligo and everyone mistakes me for a Scandinavian.
My grandmother came from Sligo and she wouldn't be mistaken for a Swede.
Maybe some long lost relatives of yours???? ;)
Read Later BUMP!
Yes but did they unearth viking kitties ?
Finally a thread where viking kitties can live in peace and harmony and not have to be part of a zot.
We need pics of the ancient historic viking kitties, perhaps the viking kittie mummies.....
;-)
