Despite the strong Viking presence, not much Viking DNA has been found by geneticists in Ireland.

Things that make you go hmmm?

This makes me remember a tour I took of Ireland in 2001. Everytime a car came at us, threatening to force our large bus off one of the narrow Irish roads, our tour guide would mutter, “D***d Vikings!?

So I'm a descendant of the Vikings? That would explain a lot...like why it is I've always been so relentless.

Could be very interesting. I wonder how much disruption of the city’s usual business will occur, though.

On a side note: This phrase jumped out at me— “was began”. The Irish were once well-educated. ~sigh~

"Archaeologists say the number of Viking warrior burials in Dublin is astounding."

But what explains the dearth of viking clerk-typist burials?
