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.
The photos of the doctors are epic!
Yeah .... new math, don’cha’kno

I’m calling next of kin. If they fail to revive him, I’ve got a reckless endangerment and wrongful death suit.

Of ALL the words in this article, THAT one was the ONE word not get wrong.

Any Viking frozen for 1,2000 years must undergo a review!
April Fools already?
Interesting Thanks
I don’t believe in this kind of stuff. Science can take a flying leap. It’s disrespectful to the dead.
His “review” survival score was low. Put on probation.
When the guy finds out he is a white racist and is harming the planet he will beg to be taken out of his misery!
