more on Norwegian "Incan" skeleton

Aardvarchaeology weighed in on that "Incan" skeleton in Norway, and he seems to completely dismiss it.

I think he's right, but I'd still enjoy seeing someone check for genetic material or test the enamel of the teeth to see where the person grew up. If i had to wager a bet, i would have put money on him being a homegrown mutant of that particular trait, but since the bones are available, why not test them? Ruling strictly by Occam's Razor comes off as dogmatism sometimes, even if it's usually right.

still not convinced of "Incan skeleton" being from "Viking era"

Lookee here... another story on the Incan skeleton in Sweden. There's not once shred of new news though. I'd love to see those other two skeletons (the other adult male and the baby) dated. I know that they got around, but that's a little too far.

What's the odds of a mutant?

Incan bones found in Norway

These Incan bones are allegedly 1,000 years old.

This was over on Mirabilis. It's quite odd, although it might be a minor curiosity.

How old is the church? What are the age of the other corpses that it was interred with?

It's more probable that these bones were acquired through graverobbing Spaniards, and passed along as Incan gold saturated Europe.


Now if it turns out that that this Incan lived and died in Sweden... damn. This story has potential.
