Yeah, I don't know, it's almost like a bad AI audio dub over a video, the music sounds like an original Nintendo game.
This whole story sounds like a bad trip right now.
Even if the AI things tough to swallow, it's probably the purpose of AI to begin with, so I'm watching this closely.
Weird.
Okay first of all the thing I've been bringing up since the beginning: the accent. Nothing like any sort of Arabic accent I've ever encountered. The closest I ever heard is Dutch.
According to the saga, the Viking kings descended from Odin, an immigrant hierarch who came in a vessel called Skithblathnir which could be folded together like a cloth. Odin came from the land of the "Aser", and is, therefore, frequently referred to as "Asa-Odin".
The legendary land of the people known as Aser is given a very exact location in Snorre's saga as east of the Caucasus mountains and the Black Sea. From there, according to the same saga, Odin, owner of the foldable boat migrated with all his people northwestwardly through Russia, Saxland, and Denmark into Sweden where he died and lay buried in a huge funerary mound at Sigtuna.
Asa-Odin's saga with his boat and his itinerary has been considered by Nordic historians as a myth concocted in medieval times, although they consider the Nordic people as Caucasians. But, perhaps, Odin's boat may indicate that the land of the Aser really lay by the Caspian Sea east of the Caucasus. In fact, in the 5th century B.C., the Greek historian, Herodotus, described such marvelous foldable boats used precisely in the area referred to in Asa-Odin's saga as the home of the Aser, namely the land of the present day Azeri and Armenians.
Æsir is the plural of áss, óss "god" (genitive case āsir), which is attested in other Germanic languages, e.g., Old English ōs (gen. pl. ēsa) and Gothic anses "half-gods". Sanskrit ásu "life force", ásura "god"

Then there's the trans argument. To which I'll add the hands are worth noting.
