Hvem var det? Jeg tror at det var så i filmen "13 Warriors" men jet tror ikke at det var så i realitet.
Sorry for my horrible Danish.  I'm just happy if I see Reykjavik in there somewhere.

One complain about that as well, considering that there were Vikings outside of Scandinavia as well (e.g. the British Isles and Iceland), but that I wont do.

yes thats true. And in greenland as well, but they were immigrants from mostly Norway anyway, so it`s still allowed to call it scandinavia. though I think everyone that doesn`t live in scandinavia consider Scandinavia to be what we call Norden.
Norden:Norway,sweden,denmark,iceland,finland.
scandinavia:Norway,sweden,denmark

It's some early type of marine, attacking from a tireme.
I certainly would *not* call it early!

Hei! Selv om islandsk er veldig likt gammel-norsk (norrønt), er nok dansk lettere å forstå ja! Nei, det var nok ikke samme person. Men filmen "13 warriors" har nok tatt litt fra den historiske araberen. Det var i en tegneseriefortelling basert på hans beskrivelser jeg hørte om araberen. Jeg tror ikke han var med som kriger, men bare observerte og skrev ned det han så.
Reykjavik is also in the original viking list I think. I want to visit that place sometime...
