WAKEHAM BAY, CANADA — A team of explorers studying glacial formations stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever. They found a ninth-century Viking warrior encased in a thick wall of ice and showing no visible sign of decomposition!
More incredibly still, researchers believe it may be possible to review him!
“This has never been attempted before. We firmly believe that with the technology available today, it will be possible to bring this man back to life with his mental faculties fully intact,” declares lead scientist Dr. Nigel Hamm.
“The Viking sailor was preserved in an ice block. This affords us an opportunity to conduct an extraordinary scientific experiment.”
The frozen Norseman appears to have been about 25 years old when he died. The ice cavern was found 22-feet below the Earth’s surface.
“I am still in a daze over this very amazing find,” declares Dr. Hamm, head of London-based geological society stationed in Greenland that specializes in Arctic study. “He’s probably been there for the better part of 1,2000 years. But looks like he could have died 20 minutes ago.”
The bearded warrior has dressed appropriately for the frigid climate, wearing clothes and boots fashioned from thick, fur.
He also sports a typical Viking horned cap and leather breastplate. A leather pouch strapped around his waist bulges outward suggesting it is full.
“At first we believed that it contained good-luck trinkets from home or perhaps some caribou jerky for the journey ahead,” Dr. Hamm says.
“But after consulting experts in Viking lore, we now believe the man was probably carrying what people of his land believed were magic charms that could keep death at bay.
“Incredibly, they seem to have worked, because this Viking is in tip-top shape.
“It’s uncanny it’s like he’s more in a state of suspended animation than truly dead.”
WHERE DID HE COME FROM? Scientists believe the short, stocky Norseman was a member of a Viking expedition. They surmise he most likely had been on a hunting mission.
“Probably a snow bridge he was walking on gave way and he tumbled through a crevasse into the cavern,” the researcher says.
Viking artifacts have been found over the years in Canada and the U.S. Vikings apparently used the frozen north as a winter base.
I bet it’ll be Pauley Shore in there.
Mike Zimmer is history.
The woke left will want to try him for crimes against humanity.
Cool!
They thawed out some of the Franklin Expedition a few years ago
Wouldn't be the first time the revived frozen seaman...
Ha ha
Touche!
Reminds me of a story in a newspaper comic strip back around 1962. It might have been Moon Mullins.
maybe sunkenciv can weigh in on that ?
Is he eligible for the $450,000?
BUT IS HE VACCINATED?!
Fell into a crevasse, right. I’ll bet Bat Boy pushed him.
This reminds me of one of those “Mondo” movies back in 1966.
In one scene a medical School gets a load of frozen bodies from India, all frozen in a big block of ice. We watch them being thawed out. None came back to like like THE THING from Another World.
If his neck or back aren’t broken, or skull isn’t crushed from the fall, he’ll get a good “review”. For reviving him; that ain’t happening.
“been there for the better part of 1,2000 years.”
1,2000 years?
