Idea One: Viking Camels Camels with fearsome horned helmets and fearless beshielded berserkers as the rider. Could be used against archaeologists and other tomb-raiding thieves.
Idea Two: Viking Longboats
Longboats with sprung caterpillar tracks on the side, powered by an internal combustion
engine, but still with the full compliment of sail. The sound of the engine is covered up with a tape recording of nordic drinking songs.

There are already desert vikings - the Berber raiders. And if your desert longboat is not powered by rowing, it doesn't get my vote. |

l3lackEyed Angels:
Oars and sails would not work. Boats avoid sand banks because they run aground and can't travel over them. The desert is a giant sand bank. Stereotypical viking helmets have horns, and the world turns on stereotypes, so my viking camels' helmets will have horns. Silly it is. |

DrCurry:
It wouldn't get your vote if it was powered by rowing, so i'm sticking steadfast to the original idea. And are Berber raiders vikings? No, i think this is not so. |

I'm happy with my idea as it is. |

Croissant for [Knut] for sticking to his guns despite [DrCurry]'s attempts to corrupt him and [l3lackEyedAngels] historical pedantry. + |

I'm all for anything that goes 'berserker' on archaeologists. Can I borrow your Viking Camels for the month of July? |

Camels are ships of the desert but I have never seen one in Nordic gear, you get my croissant . |
