IMPORTING THE SUPERIOR CULTURE:

Vikings lived 'harmoniously with our ancestors' (Daily Telegraph, 3/13/09)

Viking warriors who raided and colonised Britain in the 11th century went on to form harmonious relationships with our ancestors, scientists claim.

The Scandinavian invaders are remembered in history books as barbaric savages who pillaged towns and villages, and raped their women.

But new evidence shows that following their violent arrival, the Vikings lived in relative harmony with their Anglo-Saxon and Celtic counterparts.

According to researchers at Cambridge University, they swapped technology with our forefathers and enriched their culture.

Of course things went well once we made them our b'atches.
