10th century Arab traveler and write Ahmad ibn Fadlan encountered Rus Vikings and wrote about them in 922:
"I have seen the Rus as they came on their merchant journeys and encamped by the Volga. I have never seen more perfect physical specimens, tall as date palms, blonde and ruddy; they wear neither tunics nor caftans, but the men wear a garment which covers one side of the body and leaves a hand free."
Other sources also mention the Vikings as having been tall, for instance in the East Frankish chronicles called Annals of Fulda. It mentions the appearance of the Vikings at a battle in 884, were the Franks defeated a Viking raid in Saxony.
"In that battle, such men are said to have been killed among the Northmen as had never been seen before among the Frankish people, namely in their beauty and the size of their bodies."
JFL at people who think Germanic whites only got tall recently due to nutrition. They heighmogged people back then just like they do now.
It never began for arabcels. Even at the peek of the Muslim Arab golden age they were brutally mogged.
