The three national newspapers report it ... They usually don't broadcast things not for real ... The archaelogist's name is Mona Beate Buckholm, working as an archaelogist at a museum in the region where the find was.
The skeleton was found close to a church, during a repair of the St. Nicolas church.

Hullo there ...
Long time, no see.
Just popped in to spread some interesting Viking news.
Norwegian papers broadcast this evening in a small article that archaelogists have found a 1,000 year old skeletal remains of an inca indian in Southern Norway. They can tell 'cause there are some bone in his neck that are only found "grown" that way in Peruvian people of that era ...

Anyone read the last Wilbur Smith book - The Triumph of the Sun ?
It's the last addition in the family sagas of the Courtneys and the Ballantynes.
Is Wilbur Smith's Africa historic correct? In this book he places the Courtneys in Kharthoum, Sudan a wee bit after the mid-1800s, and we have a conflict between an Islamic rising under a Mahdi on the one side, and the British Empire an

Isn't J. Strauss a character of Isaac Asimov? The man who accidentally travels through time by a lightbeam passing through his lab? Man, it's way to long since last time I read Asimov ...
Found it, and I was almost right. The book is: Pebble in the Sky and the character is Joseph Schwartz. From Chicago, 1949, thrown into Asimov's Galactic Empire story ... Cool book, as far as I
