The discovery that fascinated the world: Why did Vikings write “lah” in their clothing (Photo)

A sudden discovery in Sweden has raised major questions about the influence of Islam, says “MSN”

Swedish scholars have found Arabic writings woven into burial suits, boats, and cemeteries.

They were kept in storage for over 100 years, as typical examples of Age Viking funerals.

But a new investigation into clothes found in the 9th and 10th centuries cemetery has cast innovative knowledge into contacts between the world of Vikings and Muslims.

Models woven in silk and silver thread type words “Allah” and “Ali”.

The discovery was made by archaeologist Annika Larsson. She says that upon seeing her clothes and writing, she began to look like something she had seen in Spain.

Larsson realized it was Arabic. Initially, it deciphered the word Ali-Calaf of Islam. But the next word was harder to decipher.

She says that in the past, DNA tests have shown that some of the people buried are originally from Persia, where Islam was dominant.

However, it is more likely that these findings will show that Viking funeral suits have been influenced by Islam's ideas about eternal life and Paradise after death”.

They're going to be further tests to determine more details.

The possibility that some of those in the grave could be Muslims could not be completely excluded,” adds.
