[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] There are ideas which today are promoted by some "Afrocentrics" which were once promoted by "white" European scholars but today are abandoned by mainstream academia. But sometimes also others can create narratives, like the ones they talk about in the video I posted, out of political reasons. These ideas are among others promoted to make immigrants and minorities feel more included. Also here in Sweden there has been such tendencies. Some years ago a Swedish museum promoted the idea that muslims were common in ancient Viking trade ports like Birka outside of todays Stockholm. In that context a figure was created who was called "Vik-Inga Muhammed" and who talked in some kind of suburban slang language. The curators at the museum admitted that the figure was created because immigrant children with muslim background should feel more included when they came to the museum, or learned about the Viking age in school. Several archaeologists and historians protested though and in the end "Viking-Inga Muhammed" was dropped. [/QB][/QUOTE]
