The Manila Times

Treasure-filled Viking burial site discovered in Denmark  In an accidental find, a 10th-century burial site believed to have belonged to a Viking noble family has been discovered in northern Denmark, packed with a trove of ancient objects. The discovery came when pearls, coins, ceramics and a box containing a gold thread were unearthed during construction work near Aarhus. ‘People basically took what was important to them into the grave and supposedly because they wanted to transfer it to the other world,’ says archaeologist Mads Ravn.

00:06That is good

00:08I have to write a little story

00:10In a few days

00:12I will write a little girl

00:14I can't believe you

00:16A little girl

00:18I can't believe you

00:20I can't believe you

00:22I will write a little girl

00:24I can't believe you

00:26It's not a baby

00:28They will do some sleep

00:29Oh, not a low

00:46It took care of the pool there also and that's a sand

00:56Okay.

01:26Oh, back on the bed.

01:56Amazing coming up and new discoveries all the time.

02:09The grave goods are very varying, they're very different.

02:14They were kind of individualist, those people here.

02:16So in some you only find a knife, in the others you find some more important stuff.

02:21So people basically took what was important to them into the grave and supposedly because

02:27they wanted to transfer it to the other world.

02:29This could have been one of Hal Bluetooth's jarls or stewards.

02:34He was an important king who was building founding cities or towns, sorry, and some of

02:43those amazing ring forts that we know of.

02:45He made a very long bridge over a fjord further south.

02:50He was an entrepreneur and he was gathering some important people around him who were

02:56taking care of certain regions.

02:57This box is very well preserved.

02:59We got it up in total.

03:02Of course it smashed, but all the bits and pieces are there and also there's something inside

03:07it.

03:08And in the grave lying somewhere else is a key.

03:14The x-ray is telling us a lot about the condition of the material and also about the material character

03:23itself.

03:24If it's bronze, iron, silver, amber, glass, whatever.

03:31Without which one.
