​@Toutaras firstly, they could find a way. 2ndly, they have great Viking relics like the finds of Sutton Hoo. 3rdly, those are some of the few finds that weren't stolen by the British, but left in Britain by invading/colonised/settled vikings. Really the Viking ships weren't found until wad too late for Britain to steal. They haven't conquered Denmark or Norway either ever, or after the ships were found.

i dont know what you mean by earlier prototype, but yes, the shahada is uniquely muslim.

They dont even tey to hide it, if you were to read any islamicate source they all atteibute it to greeks and indians because they considered them very wise. Infact people would make their own books and say they were from popular people (like aristotle) one of the biggest philosophies during that time is the neo platonism which comes from plato, an european. Europe didn't 'plagarize', they built upon the muslims works hence made them their own. You wouldnt call a modern air craft maker out for plagarizing the wright brothers, would you? In the same light you cant call the europeans out. I am not even european and I have no more love for them then I have for any other society.

I'm not Muslim, but I have studied History, and whilst Europe was going through the Dark ages, the Islamic and Arab world was saving the works of Socrates, Aristotle and Plato, transcribing them into Arabic whilst Christian fundamentalism was burning them as paganism.

[@humanteneleven]

Today there’s only one version, but historically there was no standardized form. The shahada as it appears today is not in the Quran, for example. And the one on the coin differs from the shahada with the added “وحده لا شريك له”

but why did king offa copy the islamic coins?

[@kazmiirtiza3934]

He just said it, it was the most valuable currency of the time. Kinda like Dollars today. Everyone wants to earn in Dollars or Euros rather than in their own currency.

[@alfreddupont1214]

For greater trust. At the time, the Abbasids' gold coins were the most valued and trusted, so making yours look the same helped share in their credibility.

[@mahuyabakshi6192]

@@alfreddupont1214 doesn't that just cause inflation?

[@alfreddupont1214]

@@mahuyabakshi6192 The coins of the time were backed by their content of gold or silver. To cause inflation you would need either a new influx of gold/silver or deflate the value of the currency by reducing its weight or its content. But, yeah, cash strapped rulers cheated all the time for a quick gain or to pay their soldiers. It often end in a coup, economic disaster or a revolt.
