Comic makes no sense. Vikings and romans didnt know each other, directly anyway.

No, the Romans and Vikings did not directly know each other in the sense of interacting as contemporaries. The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, while the Viking Age began around 793 AD with the raid on Lindisfarne. This means the two groups existed centuries apart. However, there was indirect contact through trade and interactions with Germanic tribes who lived north of the Roman Empire's borders.

On a side note, supposedly the wing dna project claims that the lineage came from one of these germanic tribes. It was rumored for a long time that wings were descended from vikings, but the dna results dont really back that up.

One of our participants had a deep haplogroup testing performed. The tests results revealed our haplogroup is R-L48. This haplogroup is a subset of the WAMH (Western Atlantic Modal Haplogroup -- the most common haplogroup in Western Europe). The R1b-L48 haplogroup is quite common (which makes some comparisons difficult). The haplotypes of the family closely conform the the "Frisian" Modal group discovered several years ago. Ancient Frisia was roughly where The Netherlands are today. It is likely our early ancestors were from Frisia before emigrating to Britain. It also appears our ancestors were part of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain (in the 5th century) rather than the later Viking invasion (in the 10th century).

And I highly highly doubt if these two cultures had interacted, that they would have bonded over such a issue lol.

I still like the idea that all these religions were different peoples who seen the same thing, trying to figure out what exactly it was they seen. Again its just to weird how they are so similar. Why should one be more valid than a other. Afterall life is just a subjective experience, everyone will experience it differently.

Do not take that literally, only metaphorically. Thing is when the Romans take over a place their mythology is merely assimilated. While there's no direct interactions between the Norse and the Romans, that's exactly what they did when they took over Egypt.

The Christians literally obliterated everything against them until nothing remains.
