According to the Swedish research community, the new findings from Sweden's medieval capital of Sigtuna, dubbed the "Viking Age Scandinavian Shanghai," challenge the stereotype of Norsemen as being emigrants and invaders.

No fewer than half of the population of the Viking town of Sigtuna were immigrants, a new DNA analysis of human remains dating from the 10th to the 12th century has shown.

The study, the largest of its kind so far carried out in Sweden, combined DNA analysis and the strontium analysis of teeth to build a detailed picture of where the people had come from. The study found that approximately 70 per cent of Sigtuna's female population were immigrants, as were 44 percent of the men.

Won't this make critics of Sweden's suicidal immigration policies feel stupid.

Why couldn't Jesus have been born in Sweden?

It's impossible to find three wise men there, let alone a virgin.
