Viking gods came from Turkey.

Do Viking mythology fanatics ( Asatru fans and young americans marvel comics fans ) know that the Viking gods came from the city of Troy in Turkey?

In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson describes the Vikings as being descended from Trojans. Much like Virgil claimed the Romans descend from Aeneas (a Trojan prince) in the Aeneid.

The Nordic gods are described as human Trojan warriors who left Troy after the fall of that city.

The most important sources about the old Nordic religion are the poems of the Elder Edda (Poetic Edda) and the Younger Edda (Prose Edda) – a book containing retellings of the Nordic myths written by Snorri Sturluson.



Findings show that the Vikings’ self-image was influenced by The Roman Period - NORWAY OSLO UNIVERSITY -

Not by any chance.. I have all the culture and history of Italy behind me.. I certainly won't change it with the culture and history of the Vikings, which can be written on a single page with a few lines..

Surely the Northern fanatics (like the Negro fanatics who claim that Egyptian Greeks were African Negroes) think that the Northern Vikings were the first inhabitants of Troy, Babylon, Jericho, Persepolis, Memphis, Athens, Carthage, Rome....
