Incan bones found in Østfold

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.

So that explains the Lapps.....

[Señor Malo]

The info provided by the article is quite sparse and scattered to make any sustainable conclusion

ROFL, Miguel Serrano must be full of joy.

Well, well, well... I'd indeed be much curious as to know what some people have to say about this find.
I'm well aware they are very keen on pointing to miscegenation whenever and wherever they come across a mere depiction or description of non Europeans in more Southern past societies ; now what if we jumped at easy conclusion?

I can't help but thinking that could be very interesting :

" Norway: the fall of a once Nordic Empire. The history of Western Scandinavia from the first Nordo-Aryan settlements until nowadays ; The Viking society and its dissolution into non-White Inca tourists a thousand years ago. "

Don't forget to Make a Donation!

A new and exciting chapter in the history of the white race march of the titans book. It will say how the vikings fell from power by mixing with Incans and they lost their battle spirit.
But interesting find. I would imagine that maybe this can be linked to the thread there was a bit ago that I made about vikings in south America. perhaps they took some Incans back?

[Caradoc]

probebly this incan man was just indeed on a social call you know comming to dinner or coffee with cake and cookies

Heheh, probably just a malformed Lapp. I don't understand how they can jump to such a conclusion with only this:

"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

Very competent archaeologists /sarcasm

Indeed. A single malformation is taken to be conclusive proof that this person shared an inherited condition found amongst the Inca community.
Obviously, the prospect that such things can also simply happen by chance as a random deformity/mutation (which is how it must have started out in the Incas initially) is not one he seriously considered. I suppose you don't make the headlines unless you can create some sort of fabricated sensationalism around your discovery.

I thought "Incan" was a pre-Columbian South-American civilization, which implies having several amerindian types.
It seems to be an OOPART case: it was not supposed, till today, Vikings reaching South-American, even worst taking into account that the Incans were oriented towards the Pacific.

They ought to do a DNA analysis anyway.

Or an IQ test.

[Vityaz]

Too eager to prove that Norway was always a multi-cult paradise.

[Menydh]

Or that the Norse created the Inca Civilisation and then returned home with a few slaves.

I think the academic world understands the value of a good story as much as anyone else. If an archaeologist finds something interesting and brings in publicity he gets more funding. Finding something that helps prove "we're all one race, the human race" helps a lot too.

Indeed this is one of the cases where unknown scientists and researchers from various backgrounds try to pierce the wall of the anonymity they live in.

Before saying Inca one would have to make more deep researches, for example by trying to find some remains of DNA in remote places of the bones.

Also, a serious scientists would take into account other hypothesis, first of all the simpler one: that such malformation that is common among the Incas could have occurred exceptionally in a local man.

This would require lesser hypothesis than the Inca thesis, so following Occam's razor criterion on hypothetical reasoning.

The Inca thesis requires a lot of unproved hypothesis: a discovery of the Americas by the Vikings, an incan expedition towards new lands, and so on.
