Vikings may have predicted climate change on ancient stone carving

A startling message on a 1,200-year-old granite slab created by the Vikings appears to predict climate change, experts say.

The research, published in Futharc: International Journal of Runic Studies, looks at the message that was written after Viking warrior Varin’s son died in battle in the 9th century, foreseeing a new “climate crisis,” similar to the weather conditions that happened nearly 300 years prior.

“This study proposes instead that the inscription deals with an anxiety triggered by a son’s death and the fear of a new climate crisis similar to the catastrophic one after 536 [AD],” researchers, led by Per Holmberg, wrote in the study’s abstract.

All without cars? Or cows? Or billions of people? How could that be?

They observed that the climate changes, duh.

The climate has been changing since the beginning of time, long before man could have done anything about it.
We still can’t do anything about it.

Land, wealth, and women were free for Vikings, they just took it from other societies.

Sounds like so many elite liberals in today’s world.

Wonder if Greta’s ancestors were like this.

Did you get a chance to look at that Word doc that I sent? Not the hottest item around, perhaps should be: plagiarism.

I’ve really got to get my email. Speaking of BAR, I think I’ve got instructions on there of how to log on (I subscribed for the first time in a few years).

Vikings being Vikings, they immediate gave their thunberg version a Viking funeral while she was still alive.

***Speaking of BAR, I think I’ve got instructions on there of how to log on (I subscribed for the first time in a few years)***

I canceled my subscription some months ago... I am too old and too much serious seditious politics going on. Up FR! :^)

You can subscribe to the electronic version of BAR and receive access to all of the old issues from day one. I think I also let that expire.

I cannot get over the sense that the new editor - Robert R. Cargill - has changed the direction of BAR. I get numerous solicitations via email but rarely get the Historical Review articles I used to get. Sales appears to have become the most important thing. I try to overlook the fact that Cargill used to appear on 'Ancient Aliens' albeit as an authority. 🙄

I suppose their ignoring my alert to Orly Goldwasser's potential plagiarism didn't help - who needs academic integrity these days? Maybe she endorses climate change! _ ? . . . opposes Donald Trump? (The important academic issues.)

He's really showcasing his repudiation of Shanks' publication of poorly provenanced artifacts etc. That was one thing Shanks was clearly correct about.
