Enormous, Rare Viking Ship Burial Discovered By Radar

Post by Harper »

Archaeologists have found the outlines of a Viking ship buried not far from the Norwegian capital of Oslo. The 65-foot-long ship was covered over more than 1,000 years ago to serve as the final resting place of a prominent Viking king or queen. That makes it one of the largest Viking ship graves ever found.

Fascinating, thanks for the link :P
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

I will have to keep an eye on this not only for the ship itself but what other advances may be discovered! We have only scratched the surface of what we know about these remarkable people and their culture! :mrgreen:

I hope they can extrapolate which king or queen might have been buried with the ship. That's a huge ship to serve only as a burial vessel.
