Visit https://audible.com/extracredits or text "extracredits" to 500-500 Ibn Fadlan might not be as popular or as well-traveled as Ibn Battuta, but his travels took him north where he ran into some of the strangest people he had ever met. The Vikings. Ibn Fadlan fawned over the impressive Rus Vikings, but was also disgusted by their habits. But most importantly, he wrote down all of his observations, including a Viking funeral.

This is a great episode the explores historiography and a narrative of history that I think most of us haven't heard before.

Thank you for bringing us more history away from what makes it into school curricula. And it's always great to see Zoe. She's a great character.
