Buddha statue from 6th c found in Viking hoard in Helgo, Sweden

This fifth or sixth century A.D. statue of the Buddha from northern India was found in a Viking treasure horde on the Swedish island of Helgö. Globalization is clearly not a recent phenomenon... [F]ew people got around as much as the Vikings. From their Scandinavian coves they visited, raided, traded with and settled in lands from Newfoundland to Baghdad. They conquered Britain, terrorized Ireland and France, settled Iceland, raided Spain and ranged throughout the Mediterranean basin. They established a major presence in Russia, the Ukraine and the Crimea, sending their longboats down the Volga into the Black Sea. They raided Constantinople no less than four times... It is unlikely that any of his ideas made it to Viking Sweden, but one never knows.

The other thing that I learned from clicking on this thread is that Cultural Jihad, whom I read a lot and whose departure I never could explain, was banned. 🙂

[Verse 1: Mike Love]
I’m getting bugged driving up and down this same old strip
I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are getting real well-known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]
I get around
Get around, round, round, I get around
From town to town
Get around, round, round, I get around

[Verse 2: Mike Love]
We always take my car ‘cause it’s never been beat
And we’ve never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady ‘cause it wouldn’t be right
To leave their best girl home on a Saturday night

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]
I get around
Get around, round, round, I get around
From town to town
Get around, round, round, I get around
I’m a real cool head
Get around, round, round, I get around
I’m making real good bread
Get around, round, round, I get around
I get around, round
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
