Politically correct leftists in Sweden have ordered the destruction of ancient Viking artefacts, and have ordered that they be sent for melting down. As a person with a great interest in history and archaeology this make my blood boil and it is an utter disgrace.

The hard-left in Sweden are hell bent on destroying any vestige of their culture, race and identity, aside from the issues of uncontrolled immigration and islamic terrorism, this represents a new low of cultural terror to destroy these artefacts. No different to what ISIS did in Palmyra and what the Taliban did with the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan.

The first website is an alt-right website but the issue itself got minimal coverage in the leftist Swedish media, it doesn't suit their agenda very well. I'd be happy for these artefacts to be brought to Ireland and stored here considering our common Viking shared heritage, sell them to private collectors, anything but destroying them. The Swedish liberal are no different from ISIS with this disgraceful attitude towards ancient history.

You think? I'd expect when he read the article he googled it to see if there was another explanation and didn't just accept something on the inetrnet at face value like a teenage girl on facebook.
I'm sure the thread may even be edited or he may ask the moderators to remove the thread.
I definitely don't expect any deflection.

That's not very lagom

I read quite alot about it but some of the website were questionable with their far-right leaning views, I feel they don't deserve sharing their links. However they have a valid point and I agree with them on this single issue. Google have effectively censored out links to this issue, and their is alot of censorship in Sweden towards anyone questioning immigration or holding an alternative right wing viewpoint.

A foreign language link and a link to notorious misogynist site "Return of Kings", run by RooshV, who is Pro Rape and he has basically admitted to rape on his website.

Yeah, this smells of prime bull****.

Senna

if they are not considered unique enough to warrant conservation.

So is there any proof that they have melted down anything that shouldn't have been?
If they have 5000 arrow head already, do they need to keep more unless they're actually different from the 5000 they already have.
I can understand them not wanting to sell them, creating a market for something that shouldn't be bought and sold.

I think this story has grown some legs to meet an agenda when the original story has nothing to do with that agenda, ie lefties are distroying everything in our museums.

I suggest you use Google translator on the Swedish article if you are unhappy to read the ROK website.

Most outrageous stories online are designed for the people who want them to be true (across all ideologies).
Lesson learned, OP.

I know it's horrible. They also want to destroy white culture, soon Stormfront members won't be able to celebrate white icons like the Rothschilds, Anne Frank or Albert Einstein.

Oh God that Return of Kings author bio

Jean-Batave is a martial artist from the viking stronghold of Normandy, France. He travels the world looking for new fighting techniques and new beautiful women. Eastern Europe taught him everything he knows and is his second home. His column runs every Thursday.

Translation, Jean-Batave got the sh1t kicked out of him at school and probably has a Samurai sword on his wall.

mzungu

No mention of this anywhere on Google. Only thing I could find was an article from late 2016 about a new Viking museum that just opened in Stockholm. The vast majority of the other articles outline new archaeological finds related to Vikings. Why bother funding searches if they are in the process of getting rid of existing monuments? The story does not add up.

Things are just swell over there, it's not as if spontaneous dancing is illegal or anything like that. Just tell them you had a sneezing fit or something.

Lets only hope the new female only concerts have their correct dance permits in order.

Maybe we should tell them about the road built through the Hill of Tara, I'm sure Stormfront consider Irish people to be white now.

My SIL is a Swede and she was telling me of plans to edit the National anthem, to remove parts which extol Swedish people and the Country as being great because it could offend others. It certainly flies in the face of equality but methinks they are
becoming a victim of their own progressiveness. I doubt many Turnips actually agree with that sentiment.

Samaris

I am always a tad suspicious when I see claims that only appear on faaaaar-right and somewhat nutty sites (returnofkings, whitegenocide are two examples carrying this story). Chasing this rabbit down its rabbit hole goes back to nyheter ideg which wrote an article commenting on remarks by Johan Runer of Stockholm University. All he stated as in the article was

It is Johan Runer, archaeologist at Stockholm County Museum, who has been alarmed about how the county boards in Sweden disregard our cultural heritage. The reason is that they do not consider themselves having the resources to take care of and conserve all metallic objects found in connection with archaeological excavations.

Other places give Runer's remarks as being an article in Popular Archaeology. A search for Runer in said journal gives these results http://popular-archaeology.com/search?submit=submit&search_text=Johan+Runer. It doesn't seem likely it would appear in any of those topics bar maybe the first. Having read the Birka article, there is no mention of anything of the sort. I don't say he never said it, but there is no basis in what's there for the hysterical white genocide argument.

It is likely that the basis is true, that archaeological finds considered not of enough importance are being destroyed and as someone who considered archaeology for a career, that is awful. And if the people of Sweden care about their history they should be angry. But the only mentions I can find of it all being a conspiracy to eradicate Swedish history in favour of Islamification (because that's what it amounts to) is based on sites like the two above and in a tabloidy headline in the Swedish Daily Express. (Nyheter ideg is considered right-wing to far right-wing, and is friendly with Sverigedemokraterna, to the point of having taken bribes from the party to publish negative stories on the ex-leader of the SDU, the youth wing of Sverigedemokraterna.)

Sounds to me something more akin to a Wood Quay situation. It's not being considered important enough to impede construction.

The interpretation is unnecessarily hysterical. It's sad enough as it is that archaeological artifacts are being destroyed without adding melodrama. And an argument that amounts to 'the only reason this story isn't being carried by anything reputable is that the almighty Google is censoring it' is a tad hysterical too.

Senna

The problem may lie in the quanties of artifacts, after a "dig" is completed, they can have tons of artifacts that have no value. Just look on ebay, you can buy artifacts for less than a tenner. They are everywhere, if you are near a river, go look for some yourself.

Yes and you can tell your SIL how Ireland wants to distroy any statues to people who fought on losing wars.

I'm a professional archaeologist, and I can assure you all that this story is 100% boll0cks. We don't treat modern rusty nails, coins, car parts, beer cans and such like found during an excavation the same way we treat ancient artefacts. The reason why should be blatantly obvious.

Maybe boards should have a separate forum for all these sh1t, repetitive threads about Islam, immigrants and PC gone mad drivel.

Identical and indistinguishable from each other, that's for sure.
Both attempting in their own pernicious way to destroy western civilization as we know it, very different methodologies of course, not to mention everything else besides..... but exactly the same nonetheless.

The Cuck-oos Nest?

If you think that story's bonkers, well look at this from the US!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/23/business/media/robert-lee-university-virginia-charlottesville.html?mcubz=0

ESPN has removed an announcer from its broadcast of the University of Virginia’s first football game next month because he has the same name as a Confederate general memorialized in statues that are being taken down across the country.
The network announced late Tuesday that the announcer, Robert Lee, a part-time employee who calls about a dozen college football and basketball games a year for ESPN, would no longer participate in the broadcast of the Sept. 2 game in Charlottesville, Va., which became the center of violent clashes this month during a white supremacist gathering.
White nationalists and neo-Nazis flooded into Charlottesville, marching through the University of Virginia campus with torches, to protest the city’s plan to remove a statue of the Confederacy’s top general, Robert E. Lee.
After the violence in Charlottesville, which left one person dead, ESPN executives and Mr. Lee decided that for his safety it would be best to have him to work on a different game that Saturday, a network spokesman said.

Now that is ridiculous.

Samaris

Actually, I can't find any sane sources for any of this, even the destroying artifacts bit. This is looking more like alt-right making stuff up wholesale.

Yeah, and in that one, the station gave the guy the option of switching to another game give the heat he might take from idiots. I think it was his first game at that level too, so they offered him the chance to switch.

That got twisted into everything short of their firing him because PC.

There's a bit of a pattern here.

Haven't seen or heard from the former hard-working, teak-tough Newcastle United midfielder and occasional pundit Robert 'Rob' Lee for a while. I wonder if he is, by any chance, keeping his head down till all this nonsense blows over.
Miss ya Rob.

Maybe so, but to confuse the namesake with someone from 150 years ago is also absurd. These stories are ridiculous on so many counts, It's worrying that the western world is returning to these types of witch hunting.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I'm not one for linking (especially in the age of search engines) but i would post a pic of the "Swedish stuffed lion" if i could. Explorers brought back a lion to the King but the taxidermist, not knowing what a lion is supposed to look like, ended up creating a work of comedic genius.

Google "lion of gripsholm castle". Worth more than any viking artifact.
