Vikings and Poseidon
In a tomb in Kivak in southern Sweden (1400 BC) there is a panel depicting the god Poseidon. The temple also contained golden statues of a God standing on a chariot drawn by six winged horses, surrounded by dolphins.
The statues were so tall that they touched the roof of the temple. In the Eddaic saga of Ragnar LodBrok, it is said that on the island of Samso there was a forty foot tall statue of a god made of wood, similar to that of Kivak.
In Scandinavia, cave drawings from the Bronze Age show figures of gods two to three times taller than people. Were the gods / goddesses of our ancestors giants?
In northern Europe, already in the middle of the Bronze Age, there was a cult of a God standing on a chariot, drawn by horses and led by a dolphin, Poseidon?
According to the Swedish archaeologist, Martin P. Nilsson, the god Poseidon came from an original homeland in the NORTH. In the early days, Poseidon was related to horses, chariots, and dolphins.
There are also many connections between this God, horses, chariots, and dolphins in Greek religious cults.
Homer, in his ‘Illiad’, portrays Poseidon as a very ancient god. Poseidon is said to have built the wall around Troy.
Poseidon also erected the walls around the temples of Atlantis at the dawn of time.
Among the Achaens (Greeks) who descended from the Nordic Sea peoples of Scandinavia and northern Germany, Poseidon was considered an “older” God.
In Sparta, after the peoples of the North Sea migrated to him, Poseidon revived and played a dominant role in their religion.
The Dorian (Greek) nobility claimed Poseidon as their tribal ancestor.
The Philistines honored Poseidon.
In the middle of the great ‘Troy City’ on the island of Atlantis, stood a temple to Poseidon. The Temple of Poseidon was 183 meters long and 93 meters wide. The statues were covered in silver. Gold, silver and amber were used inside the ceiling.
The Germanic temples of the pre-Christian era were very rich in decoration.
Herman Muller, a Norse historian, stated that the description of the temple of Poseidon in Atlantis agrees very closely with the palaces of the Norse / Germanic gods, Odin, Thor, Freya, etc.
Even the bridge, in Atlantis, that connected the temple to the rest of the country can be recognized as the Bifrost Bridge.
The temple of Forseti in Friesland, has gold pillars and a silver roof.
Christianity invaded Scandinavia and Germany and baptized the inhabitants under threat of the sword. They then destroyed what they called the pagan shrines and took away great treasures that they found in the temples. They are probably stored in the basement of the Vatican with all our other treasures.
Scandinavian folk tales tell of a golden city that lies under the sea, where its inhabitants were so rich that the canals and drains were made of copper.
Another story tells of a country that sank in the North Sea. The inhabitants were so wealthy that they shod their horses with gold shoes and plowed the land with silver plows.
There is so much hidden history that it clearly shows that the Norse sea people (our Viking ancestors) traveled the ancient world (1500 BC) and left culture, commerce, and gods / goddesses in their wake.
