University of Texas at Austin associate professor Stephennie Mulder, who studies Islamic art and architecture, has debunked the claims. Over a series of 60 tweets, Mulder expressed her exasperation at the findings and set the record straight.

 

“Vikings had rich contact with the Arab world. This textile? No,” she began, noting that the textile “has no Arabic at all but the story has gone viral” thanks to news outlets like the Times and BBC.

“There is something very troubling here about the relationship between news media and experts, who should have been consulted for verification,” she continued. “It should go without saying that a single scholar’s un-peer-reviewed claim does not truth make.”

“Here’s the deal with Viking ‘Allah’ textile, as I have been able to piece it together over past few days. As an Islamic art historian & archaeologist, I was immediately suspicious about style of Arabic epigraphy. It’s really so simple that I spent five days thinking, it couldn’t be that Larsson would make so fundamental and obvious a mistake,” said Mulder.

Mulder explained that the most obvious issue with Larsson’s methodology was that the Viking textile is dated to the 10th century, while the style of epigraphy in Larsson’s drawing comes from the 15th century.

 

“It’s a style called square Kufic, and it’s common in Iran, Central Asia on architecture after 15th century,” she said, providing an example of the style.

We are the original native americans.  white people bitch about chinese having their children born here, and they declare them "anchor babies".  Would you like me to discuss "yall" white peoples point in all this?

you don't know shit. are you a kid? you seem like a kid. i'm canadian. we don't complain about asian anchor babies. we complain about foreign investment in homes which in turn drives up the market.

first native americans crossed and went south. 2nd and 3 migrations did the arctic. they know this because they did a dna test on 52 native american and 17 sebian groups.

you need to spend more time talking to the great igloo spirit.

also canada doesnt consider inuit natives so they dont get band cards

struck a nerve eh?

You aren't considerate of Native Americans because your country used to kidnap children and "civilize" them.  Fuck you.

  I know more than you because my mother was forced to hold up buckets of water anytime she used her native tongue.  Ever see your mothers eyes speak more than words can convey bitch?

no nerve struck. its just, you post like a kid. like a cat with it's hair fluffed up to make it look bigger.

you could have easily posted those 3 vids in one comment. you can easily embed videos into descriptions when you post rather than commenting them in.

 

your not telling me anything i don't already know. if you recall i once told you that "i was going to do what my ancestors did to yours and thats bring you to school". this stuff is taught in elementary school, this is common knowledge to 8 year olds. this is my countries history. this is the history of the countries native americans, it has nothing to do with you and yours.

 

i couldnt care less about the plights of your kin, are you guys not just a bunch of skidoo riding, hand sanitization drinkers?

I've read the newsarticles that debunk the Muslim connection. Unfortunately they're in Finnish and I'm too lazy to search for the english versions. Basically the supposed islamic language is anachronistic if it is interpreted as islamic. The things or people it supposedly describe happened some 400-500 years after the cloth was buried. None of that however close out the possibility of international trade in goods and slaves and to some extent culture as well.

Vikings had contact with Muslims, I saw it on the last season. Spain was Islamic then and France let them sail to the Medteranian so of course they pillaged some Spanish ports.
