Hey, bringback, they were my ancestors too. I’m with you here. I don’t esp like that they were dug up, frankly, and I want MY reparations. I suspect they could tell they were Vikings because of the genetic material — ie the Berzerker Gene. Which is alive and well, is it not?

I have a theory about that!
My uneducated theory is that the berserker gene is alive and well in the red haird peoples of the british isles.
The phrase “get your irish up” is a modern day vestige of the berserker phenomenon...by my way of thinking.
If someone could go back in time and witness actual viking berserkers, my theory is that they would be largely red haired individuals and that they would be an over representation in the rape parties that tormented the british isles after the viking battle incursions onto the coasts of great britain.
Just a hunch.
PS, I love red haired women. I myself am not red haired, but i do have a redish beard...and as I age, my eyebrows and my sideburns are turning red.
dam i love red haired women!
