“blá-maðr, m. A BLACK MAN, NEGRO, i.e. AN ETHIOPIAN, Al. 51, Orkn. 364 (referring to A.D. 1152), distinguished from the Saracens and Arabians; three ‘blámenn’ were sent as a present to the German emperor Frederic the Second, Fms. x. 3: in romances blámenn are mentioned as A KIND OF ‘BERSERKERS,’” q.v., Finnb. ch. 16, Kjalnes.

“The Irish annalists were a lesson to all with their division of Norse invaders into White Foreigners, Norwegians(Finn-gaill), and Black Foreigners, Danes(Dubh-gaill), but it was a lesson no one heeded; nor do we know why they distinguished them by colour.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968)
“The Welsh chroniclers, for example, made no such clear distinction. The Danes coming in by way of England and the Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black Gentiles(y Kenedloed Duon), Black Norsemen(y Normanyeit Duon), Black Host, Pagans, Devils and the like.”(CONT.) See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968)
“Prince of Maine Mor(moor) was accompanied by his father Eochaidh, and his two sons Breasal and Amlaff.” Eochaid mac Run, known in English simply as Eochaid, was king of the Picts from 878 to 889 He was a son of Run, King of Strathclyde, and his mother was the daughter of Kenneth MacAlpin (NIGER VAL DUBH)
“There are turning hither to our shore lithe keels, ring-stags [ships] with long sail-yards, many shields, shaven oars, A NOBLE SEA-LEVY, MERRY WARRIORS. Fifteen companies are coming ashore, but out in Sogn there lie seven thousand more. There lie here in the dock off Cliff-holt surf-deer [ships] SWART-BLACK and GOLD ADORNED. There is by far the most of their host.” Helge Lay, i. 197-206.” See SCANDINAVIAN BRITAIN by William Gershom Collingwood(1908)
“There was a man hight Thorvard; he married Freydis, a natural daughter of Erik the Red; he went [219] also with them, and Thorvald the son of Erik (100), and THORHALL who was called the hunter; he had long been with Erik, and served him as huntsman in summer and steward in winter; he was a large man, and strong, BLACK AND LIKE A GIANT, silent and foul-mouthed in his speech, and always egged on Erik to the worst” See SAGA OF THORFINN KARLSEFNI.
“According to Egils Saga, of the 2 famous sons of Kveldulf, Thorolf was tall and handsome like his mothers people, but Grim took after his father was black and ugly. Grim’s sons Thorolf and Egill, born out in Iceland, repeated the pattern- Thorolf was the image of his uncle, tall, handsome and sunny-natured, and many Egill was black, even uglier than his father, totuous and incalculable,…..etc. craggy head, broad nose, heavy jaw and swart visage.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS, GWYN JONES pg 86
“The evidence indicates that Blacks in ancient times came to Britian from Spain, Felix Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, West Africa, India, Persia and what is today named Denmark. These Negroes were builders, scientists, masters of ocean travel and inventors of letters, according to Higgins, they built Stonehende, Gerald Massey agrees pg 11 Book of The Beginnings.” See Ancient and Modern Britons- MacRitchie pg 2
“The Danes, then were like the ‘MOORs’ -black. Like them, too, they were Picts, as more than one eminent writer has proved. The title of’GROM’ (WOAD-STAINED) is not confined to Highland genealogies, it was the actual name of a grim old pagan Dane who ruled over Denmark,(it meant daub).” See page 121, -David MacRitchie- Ancient and Modern Britons: Volume One (Ancient & Modern Britons)

Finland – – FYI. Dr. Mark Dean
“The dean of Black Inventors referred to as America’s high-tech Invisible Man”
In the book, Invisible Man, the main character is a Black man referred to as socially invisible and Dr. Mark Dean has been referred to as America’s high-tech invisible man; and he too is a Black man. It appears that though the world has advanced in technology–a high-tech world–Dr. Dean’s accomplishments have remained largely unattached from him, as the inventor, by mainstream society even as some of his inventions are as commonplace as the television, refrigerator and telephone. He has over 30 patents; is the architect of the modern-day personal computer; and holds three of the original nine patents on the computer that all personal computers (PC)s are based upon.
From the book: Scandinavian Britain – William Gershom Collingwood (1908)
p. 59 “The writings of the Irish call a Lochlannaigh by the name Goill: they also call some of them Dubhlochlaannaigh, i.e. black Gentiles, which was applied to the Danes of Dania, i.e. Denmark: Finn-Lochlannaigh, i.e. fair Gentiles, i.e. the people of Ioruaighe, i.e. the people of Norwegia:” and Keating explained Lochlonnaigh (sic) as “powerful on lackes or on the sea,” from lonn, strong; and gave the name to the Danes (quoted in O’Donnovan’s Four Masters, p. 616).
The African (Black) presence in Western Europe, in fact the earliest presence of any people, goes back beyond 40,000 B.C. with the Gatherer-Hunters represented in ‘Celtic (Irish) mythology as the Formorians. The pastoral groups – the Tehenu (Libyans), Nubians and Keftiu (of Minoan Crete – from whence the name Keltic [Keltoi] derives) – were known by several names including De Danaan, Dane, Danu, Daire Maid (as in dairy maid). The farming/agricultural groups – of Kemetic – were called Graine (from whence we get ‘grain’)
There were groups from West Africa present as well, as indicated by the names Ollav Fola (the ‘Great King’), Banba, Fohla, Eriu (from whence the name Ireland is derived), Kimbay, etc.
Kemetic-Nubian-Libyan (Tehenu) neteru (gods) mentioned in Irish/British/Keltic myth and history include Anu, Danu, Net (Neith) Set, Tara (a cognate of Ta-Meri and Auset), Ausar (called Oisin),
The ‘Sid’ burial sites that permeate Irish mythology and landscape correspond to the Nubian burial centers that can be traced along the Nubian migration routes from Nubia across the Mediterranean to Crete, to mainland Europe, west along the Danube River (named after the Danu – i.e. the Tehenu), to Britain and Ireland.
One need only familiarize yourself with Kemet history and mythology, which will enable you to then unravel the origins of the so-called Irish/Celtic/British mythology. That said, read the following books:
Celtic Myths and Legends – T.W. Rolleston; Celtic Mythology – J.A. MacCulloch; Celtic Gods and Heroes – Marie Louise Sjoestedt. These will provide sufficient evidence for the African origins, and a very good beginning to advance into other related areas that have been ‘White-washed’.
Pretty soon someone would be promoting the idea of a green Moor , like those Yorkshire Moors. How does one get Moor from Moreno? That’s bass-akwards; Moreno is derived from Moor because he would be someone slightly less darker than a Moor or a Yorkshire Moor at night: Pitch Black. An original Moor is a Malian, he becomes a Maur when the ‘L’ is rendered ‘R’ by European or Francophone speakers of an African language. Italians still say Muli for African and Multino for Latino when they want to insult Blacks or Puerto Ricans. Its long been established that the first inhabitants of Malta were the Khoi Khoi or Khoisan as evidenced by their worship of a Hottentot fertility goddess, probably long before Egypt existed.
Good people
I have a read a book which hints at people looking like fins,swedes coming to earth in spaceships. Breeding with Earthlings. This is linked to African myths about Albinos. See Writer Prophet Credo Mutwa (South Africa).
Recently a Russian Scientist found a piece of some metal with unknown writting on it.
The “metal” is made of substance which is not on the ” Periodic table”. Scientist says it belonged to a space ship which crashed years ago. So me thinks …there is the link!
I have never read so much nonsense. Vikings i.e. Danes, Sweeds, Norwegions where not Negroes. Neither where the Celtic inhabitants of Scotland, Ireland, Spain, wales Britain, France. Austria ect. They where very caucasion. When they are referred to as dark or black it’s describing their bearing. Their moods. Additudes.

But [!]; most typically [?] ignorance by way of racism [?] surface it most ugly head ! you did not prove your point by cross referencing your documentation ? Remember [?] this is the internet; freedom to exercise your Divine and/or Human Right[s] (even to lie). What is the problem Brendan G. King ? Simply share this with you. your style of thought shared is what was written about J. A. Rogers ! those against him have been made to look mighty stupid with regards to what they said [?] !!!
