![]() Ibn Fadlan was a Muslim historian who lived with Vikings and here are some of his observations The rest of the world thought they were filthy as shit Europeans considered vikings clean because they washed themselves once a week while Europeans were washing themselves ONCE A YEAR so of course they thought Vikings were clean freaks wanna know what the rest of the world thought of them?

Just to seduce our women! CHEATING!!!!!” Hilarious. Thank you for laying down some history truth!Ĭan confirm.

They carried combs on their belts because they put a lot of stock in having orderly and often elaborately braided hair. ![]() It was one of the reasons for a long time you had people from the rest of Europe seeing them as untrustworthy weirdos. Vikings had dirty matted ass hair because ancient Europeans were a filthy people who would shit in their drinking water and wonder why they got sick Paulryanforpresidenttt-deactiva asked: Actually the Vikings had dreadlocks so black people didn't invent the hair style ![]()
