I think Viking warriors and Arab traders occasionally ran into each other on the Silk Road.

How did they get those long boats across the sands.

Probably in the same way they managed to get to Egypt to intoxicate and sexually exploit overaged women.

Sodom and Gomorrah may have been destroyed by a meteor blast
The results suggest that cities and settlements in the Jordan Valley’s Middle Ghor region, where up to 65,000 people lived around that time, were obliterated with a powerful wave of heat, wind and tiny particles, the outlet Science News reports.
Waives also pushed salty water from the Dead Sea, which devastated the soil.

Do meteors contain fire and brimstone?

Fire, check. Brimstone, i.e. sulfur, maybe not, but the original written account of the incident is not wholly reliable (or should that be holy reliable?). So, probably close enough.

There are multiple insinuations here, but you can happily sail from Viking territory to Egypt with no deserts to cross.

It's not an insinuation. I have a proof:

that was cranberry juice, so yes multiple fake insinuations against the Vikings. But don’t worry, the Vikings have a long tradition for forgiving people from your country. In particular King Harald was supposedly a true Gentleman in this respect.

I hope you've all learnt from Harald's life-wrecking mistake

Even The Daily Star (as per your link) has the story categorized under “weird news”.

Isn't it in a crate in a (US) government warehouse?

I thought that was the other Ark (Noah's Ark)

Arks must have been all the rage when these stories were written.

The funny thing is that even though we use the same word in English for Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant, in Hebrew different words are used.
The Hebrew word “ta-va” used for Noah's Ark was also used for the small cradle in which the baby Moses was placed and sent off on the water.
