Description An account of the resource This article from ‘Psychic Australia’ in March 1977 by Rex Gilroy claims that Norse/Scandinavian sailors visited the South Pacific and northern Australia. The article, ‘Vikings Visited Cairns’’, is now freely available online on the Mysterious Australia website. The article includes various arguments for a Norse presence in the south Pacific, including swastika symbols found in rock and wood art in Java, Cambodia, Malaya, and Vietnam, the shape of war canoes in Fiji, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Tonga, and the physical appearance of some of the native inhabitants of New Guinea. Similar arguments are then applied to northern Australia, augmented by a comparison between northern-Australian Aboriginal religious beliefs and those of the Norse, such as the existence of a rainbow bridge (Bifröst in Old Norse texts) in both cultures, and spirits, or Valkyries, carrying off the dead after a battle. Gilroy also considers rock art near Cairns, Queensland, to show warriors dressed as Vikings in horned helmets. The author’s belief that Vikings wore horned and winged helmets, both of which became popularly associated with Vikings through the costumes used in Richard Wagner’s (1813-1883) Ring Cycle operas (although there is evidence for the ceremonial use of horned helmets in pre-Viking age Scandinavia), and the confusion in calling Wotan/Oðin/Odin the thunder god instead of Þorr/Thor, allows for little confidence in the assertions of the article.

Title A name given to the resource Vikingism Lecture Subject The topic of the resource Costume, Denmark, horned helmet, lecture, Lego, Legoland, myth, Shane McLeod, Ring Cycle, shield, sword, University of Western Australia, UWA, Viking, Vikingism, Richard Wagner, Warrior Description An account of the resource This photograph was taken during the final lecture of the 3rd year undergraduate unit The Vikings at The University of Western Australia. Although the unit focuses on the history of the Viking Age (c. 790-1100), the final lecture dealt with popular appropriations of the Vikings, or Vikingism, from the mid-nineteenth century. The lecture covered such topics as Wagner's Ring Cycle, novels, comics, art, music, and the recent films Thor and The Avengers. In the photograph the lecturer, Dr Shane McLeod, wears a t-shirt with an image of an unkempt warrior wearing a historically inaccurate horned helmet. Behind him is a slide showing a Lego Viking warrior with a sword and shield and also wearing a horned helmet from the Viking display at Legoland in Denmark, demonstrating that the horned helmet myth is also popular in Scandinavia where the Vikings originated.
