Vikings did not travel all the way to India, however they were in indirect contact as they would be buying Indian products. Norse traders would travel down the rivers of Russia all the way to Constantinople, the middle east and the Caspian sea. In these places they would visit the markets and sell their Scandinavian products such as furs, ivory (from walruses and narwhales, there's no elephants in the north) , amber and slaves. They would trade these items for spices, silk, glass, iron or silver. Many of these items would have been transported through the silk road in caravans all the way from China and India in the east to the markets of the middle east and Constantinople. From these markets Norsemen would be bringing home Indian spices and high quality iron from southern India (the Iron of southern Scandinavia is mainly bog iron which is of a pretty poor quality). Vikings also played board games similar to chess, which is also a game that originates in India. Now the Norsemen might have meet a few Indians that would have travelled west as well but they would not be the usual people that they would meet, we don't have any written accounts of Norsemen meeting Indians that I am aware of at least.
So there would mostly be an indirect contact and influence between Norsemen and Indians facilitated by other peoples (mostly Middle Easterns and Greeks) who would trade Indian commodities to the Norsemen.
Why is every Amerimutt shitskin obsessed with vikings today?

That architecture is inaccurate. Looks like a much later Greco-Persian style which would not be a thing until 2,000 years ago. The Indus valley had a more systematized and a less emotional architecture. Also, Parts of Europe already had agriculture by 6000 BC as transmitted by ENF.

Yes
And we taught them a lot.

Fuck off pajeet, you make these threads all the time. SAGE.

So you're saying India was more advanced in 6000 BC than it is today. What happened?
The OP is obviously an exaggerating faggot but you bring up a good point. Why such a fall? I think that it has something to do with caste based dysgenic effects.
thank the proto-europeans from bringing greatness to you, and thank the British for the same with the trains and agriculture you still use today... Honestly the shits like steam engines and all that we left you fucking generations ago...
To be honest, the Aryans were the single worst thing to happen to India and due to them India pretty much stayed at a sub-saharan level of society, and still would have had it not been for later Greco-Persian influences.

How can we get somebody to fight the British in their on land and make the east India company leave India?
You shit on the street and clean up in a puddle. That's not hygienic, its being poor. Bidets are hygienic. Bet the rate of ownership in India is a solid 0.5%.

what the fuck would a viking use Indian spices for besides basic food preservation and why not use locally available spices or salt? Were they making chicken tikka?
That's shamelessly false. Just because indians had similar ideas to those of current science doesn't mean they where able to verify the concrete facts correlated with these ideas (as we do with science). Besides, we all know scientific theories are fallible, depending upon the discovery of knew verified facts, unlike any religious idea.
