Lying Jews in the media created this B.S, it wasn't based on any scientific test the way they claim it to be. The Vikings were barbaric unintelligent war-mongering savages and Shaka Zulu with his superior black strategic skills would have sent that norse barbarian back to the cave he crawled from.

The Vikings did not fight Shaka, he fought the Samurai. I think Shaka should have been put up against the Maurai Warriors due to their similarities in Culture.
Also there is some sources of Moors fighting Vikings.
The first Viking drakkars reached the Iberian Peninsula in 844 AD, some 50 years after their first expeditions hit hard the northwestern Europe. In this year, one Viking group looted Gijon (on the north coast) and disembarked at La Coruna, but they faced a tough response from the Asturian king Ramiro I, who for a moment neglected the fight with the Moors (Arabs) to deal with this danger.
The Vikings retired and in the next weeks they looted the neighborings of Lisbon before advancing on the river Guadalquivir and attacked Sevilla. But the Blammen ("Black Men", Arabs) defeated them at Tablada and the Vikings retreated to their northern home.

Jari,I often wondered why people in African studies have never written a book about traditional African war strategies. Not just the Zulus but other Africans that have an African warrior culture. Strategies based off folktales,oral epics and historical texts in both pre-colonial and colonial times. Something in the vein of Sun Tzu.

Thanks Jeri..the fight match-up mano o mano was interesting some surprise weapons like the Dirk shield and the poison spray..but a full legions vs legions complete with battle field strategies would have been good,remember those same Zulus went up against the British some 50yrs or so later and delivered a crushing defeat at the battle of Isandlwanda.. and at other locations against modern fire power http://www.britishbattles.com/zulu-war/isandlwana.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tS9B7_2Gz0 watch the video clip and click on the link.

Me too, there is so much information and so many images that I can see a beautiful Book full of pictures and written accounts. Maybe someone on this site will make a Book like that!!

Now imagine if they had the same technology in weapons and knew how to use it. I've always maintained that the best invention by the British was the cannon ball, everything else was stolen.
