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.
Some serious signs of hoaxery going on here!
Even if it is a hoax, though, the entertainment value is there in spades. Well done.
Might want to give a little ringy-dingy to Ted Williams’ kids. At least for no other reason(s) than to compare notes (or get their respective stories straight before the mean old debunkers start to descend upon this new Frozen Viking story).
I’m sure he will be relieved to be back.
Frankenviking.
Yeah, but was he riding a woolly mammoth?
I hear he has already been registered as a democrat.
Hey!! I think I’m related to him!!
I doubt if he can be reviewed / revived. But if it happened, wouldn’t it be interesting to observe him as he saw the world as it is today? And lutefisk still exists.
They will give him the jab and he will be dead again in 30 minutes.
Didn’t work well in The Thing.
Did Vikings use Sears and Roebuck catalogs for toilet paper?
Biden Admin commits to giving him $450k to help him get green energy job training
Oh, you’ve been watching them for over 50 years too, eh?
This post in place of the Like Button that Free Republic does not have.
I think after a thorough review the viking will be allowed to return to Norway.
He can always get a job in a GEICO commercial.
Very very clever! Lol!!!
I used to buy it at the store almost every week, I was addicted.
