I love hearing stories like these, 'cause they make it very clear that the world is neither confined to what I see daily, nor restricted to what school history classes tell you. I was amazed to learn that there was trade between Muslim Arabs in North Africa and the Vikings. The fact that Vikings have been to the Americas ages before Columbus is seemingly popular, but the Muslim-Viking trade is not – and I think it absolutely should be.
I'm sure there's a lot more history like this that I don't know about. I'd like to learn more of that someday.
My first thought on seeing this title was "Not another one!" But, no, it's the same coin they found last year - but now it's on a special trip to the doctor for diagnosis. ;)

@Algernon_Asimov, you will be much better at tagging this article than I :P
I added a tag for "archaeology". That's all it needed.
P.S. I moved it to ~humanities, as a history story.
(Sorry: for some reason, I thought it was already in ~humanities.)
