The picture above contains 8th century details on the Oseberg, Norway sledge; described as “a Viking sledge depicting Norse mythology.” This Viking art, it is never noted, is that of the African / Negro / black seafaring population portrayed on the sledge which differs from later taller, big-bodied, long-haired Norse Vikings who arrived during the Germanic Migration Period. The above portraits bear striking resemblance to the wood-carving to the right from 3000 BC in Roos Carr, Holderness, Yorkshire, England. These would have been the proto-Celts who engaged by Ceasar in 55 BC in sea-wars where Ceaser complimented their navigational skills but went on to defeat them in 53 BC with his newly-built (after the 55 BC encounter) 500 boat navy. However, if you consider that it was the Phoenicians who created and named the nation-states of ancient Europe (and Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus), then they would have been of the same population of the semitic Hebrew traders who also populated Rome and went on to form Catholicism and Christianity; i.e. semitic Phoenicians. Returning to the top picture, in the 8th century the people whose seafaring lifestyle would be identified as Viking were still African (Celts) and had not yet met the Germanic northerners. Those of the carving have a prognacious or protruding jaw and have woolly hair; an African trait. These are also dwarfs - people of diminuitive size once found through- out Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, and Europe as a whole. They are not big-bodied, larger than life people of legend and blond, flowing hair whose descendents now living we still identify as Viking stock today. “Vikings” were two different populations. The early African forebearers are never spoken of. Marc Washington, 5/10/2004...art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
