Archeologists in Sarpsborg have found one thousand year old skeletal remains that appear to be Incan.

The skeletal remains were found during conservations work at St. Nicolas church in Sarpsborg, a city 73 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Oslo, NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) reports.

When archeologists were to move some rose bushes they made the surprising discovery of the remains of two older men and a baby.

"When we were about to take hold under the rose bush the skeletal remains slid out. It was quite surprising," Mona Beate Buckholm, archeologist at the Borgarsyssel Museum, told NRK.

One of the skulls had characteristics that indicate he was an Inca, the South American people centered in Peru.

"There is a bone in the neck that hasn't grown and this is an inherited characteristic only found among Inca Indians in Peru. This is sensational," Buckholm said.

The archeologists now plan to try and find out what the man was doing in Østfold, and how he came there.

Prehistoric coke trade?

Could be a mistake, or a genetic disease that is throwing off the examination.

Happens in my garden all the time.

Could be a mutation caused by bad lutefisk.

Funny... they don't look Incan to me

I can see some Norsk archaeologist bringing his work home with him. His unappreciative wife made him bury it. LOL

I call myself Cherokee/Norwegian, but Incan?

Perhaps they rode there on a llama. I hear their bites can be nasti.

[Petronski]

Just ask my sister.

[Petronski]
