Talk:Jakten på Odin

message: Seeing that it is already noted in the opening paragraph of the 'Critique' section that Heyerdahl based his reasoning on similarities between Norse concepts and present day place names, are we sure that he disregarded all linguistic theory, completely? 
It would be benificial if the person(s) who originally contributed this article would elaborate on this. Would Heyerdahl himself have agreed that he disregarded linguistic theory? Was/is there perhaps a debate around Heyerdahl's use of linguistic and other scientific disciplines? Can that debate be brought into the description?
If it is correct that the entire academic community in Norway are agreed that Heyerdahl didn't understand or didn't want to apply scientific methodology, does there exist some literature to highlight this issue and can this be summarized in the article? He was from time to time interviewed in the media and these appearances should at least provide some sourcing.
Without such sourcing and elaboration on how Heyerdahl applied linguistic theory, the article as it stands seems too subjective and point of view to conform to encyclopedic standards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Datsun69 (talk • contribs) 11:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did Heyerdahl completely disregard all linguistic theory? 

message: This article is poorly cited and spends 3/4 of the page criticizing a theory that is not very well laid out in the article.  Heavily biased.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Blue Tie (talk • contribs) 03:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice to see someone on this talk page discussing the content of the article rather than its subject! I agree, I think part of the problem is that the book it is discussing has not been translated into English. Is there anyone out there who is fluent enough in Norwegian to read the book in the original language and post a more detailed summary? I'd really like to read this book, but unless someone decides to translate the whole thing, a good-quality Wikipedia summary of its main theories will have to suffice.

thread_title: Page is pretty poor

message: Really?
Ney kent in many Turkic (all, not only Anatolian) languages mean in english "NEW STATE"!
All German umlauts are easy to say for all Turkic (all, not only Anatolian) people, and added to they new XX c. latin alphabets, becouse they were imported other way about 1700-1200 years ago.
Western Turkic tribes were white, with steppe version (not slavic) of Y-hg R1a, pastoralic, exactly like R1a from Norway and Sweden (biggest % nummber of lactose tolerance in Europe)
odin in russian and other slavic languages mean 1 (one); in this case it mean first (like german Fuerst) aristocrat, elder, high (like high society) (like 1 stone on the peak of piramide), ruler, head of state, or tribe.
About 10 years ago i laught over Chechen officials claime, that London is of chechen language origin, but after reading many books and w3 sites i think it is not so ridiculous for me like before.
Problem with you germanic idiots is that you sitting now on so high place (arian race, nordic race, pangermania, vandals and gots were Germans, Indo-Germans (where are Slavs and Celts), germanic tribes occupied and ruled whole Europe, anglo-saxon master race, WASP, bashing and destroing Catholics, Orthodox and Muslim that you dont see the reality, and will not search the true.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.186.22.70 (talk) 13:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Theory of Caucasus (Azer/Esir) 

message: "Pseudo-archaeology", LOL - modern Westerners are schizotypic in cognitive dissonance and deracinated degenerative lack of integral, preserved tradition of organic folk-memory.
Where did the "Goths" hail from, the "Germanii"...? Armenia, "Persia"/Iran, Trans-Caucasian land, mid-Siberia - yet our "white Western European" ethnocentric racialist lenses of perception refuse to recognize the reality, and Wiki-Disneyland perpetuates the Nordic-Aryan mystical nationalist madness in supporting some sort of magically Evolian-Hyperborean auto-genesis out of thin air or some tear in the space-time continuum for "Nordic European Westerners" - B.S.!
The "Northmen" originated as Central Asiatic pillagers with a capitol, "ASGARD", in "ASA-LAND" of "TURK-LAND" - this is Armenian-Iranian geography of prominent rivers and mountainous climes one of whose centers was indeed "AZOV" and "AZERBAIJAN" - the "Norse" were first denominated "ASIOI", "ARSACES", "ASII" etc. precisely due to this "greater" AZERBAIJAN home nucleus of ethno-phylogeny. 
Mr. Heyerdahl apparently was fighting Fascistic "Aryosophy" of dementia to no purpose - we idiotic decadent "Westerners" still refuse to accept our Central Asian origins and our fellow "Sacae" or "Sakai" in the "East"...
Wikipedia racist idiocy transmitters, knaves...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:B34B:A940:882A:ED84:CA22:D098 (talk) 19:09, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
