Small houses surround a great hall at a Viking site in Sweden called Sanda. Some archaeologists believe this may have been a Viking plantation with slaves as the labor force. [illus. apparently by Tom Lovell for NG]

time for the vikings to rise up and make slaves out of the muslims invading scandinavia.
To: SunkenCiv
Archaeologists are using recent finds and analyses of previous discoveries -- from iron collars in Ireland to possible plantation houses in Sweden -- to illuminate the role of slavery in creating and maintaining the Viking way of life. So that's how the Vikings got Brett Favre.

"real estate fraud...calling Greenland GREENLAND...when it is covered in ICE."Greenland WAS green, during the last period of global warming when the Vikings settled there. It must have been those Saab SUVs that did it then.

Would love to see that, but it appears it is the mohammedans who will be enslaving their conquered subjects.
