>>62657939Related article:https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/vikings/biggest-surprise-of-my-life-homeowner-discovers-denmarks-largest-viking-age-silver-hoard-in-their-backyard>Homeowner discovers Denmark's largest Viking Age silver hoard in their backyard>>While building a terrace in their backyard, a homeowner in Denmark discovered the treasure of a lifetime: more than 40 pounds (18.5 kilograms) of thousand-year-old silver buried in the ground. An analysis revealed that the finding is the country's largest Viking Age (793 to 1066) silver hoard known to researchers.>>The hoard has approximately 700 silver objects, including silver bars, jewelry, 47 whole coins and coin fragments, and a small Thor's hammer, an object that was often interpreted as a sign of protection and a clue that its owner believed in the Norse pantheon of gods. About 320 of those objects were contained in a clay vessel, while the rest lay in the soil nearby. The treasure is nearly three times larger than the previous largest silver hoard from Denmark's Viking Age, according to a translated statement.>>One of the silver bars is engraved with runes, a writing system used by people in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. The inscription might say "hutu," which may represent a person's name or an owner's mark, according to the statement.>>The anonymous individual found the roughly 1,100-year-old hoard while building a terrace in the municipality of Rebild this past spring. Unexpectedly, they hit something that emitted a strange sound. "It should have just been a few hours of hard gardening work removing stubborn grass, stones and gravel for a new tiled terrace, but it turned out to be the biggest surprise of my life," they said in the statement.>>The coins include two Anglo-Saxon silver pennies minted during the reign of King Edward the Elder (ruled from 899 to 924), according to the statement. This suggests that the hoard dates to sometime in the 10th century.(continued)
>>62657947>There are also Islamic coins in the hoard, and together with the Anglo-Saxon coins, they offer evidence that Viking Age Denmark had strong connections with vast regions of Europe as well as with distant eastern regions, according to Torben Sarauw, cultural heritage manager at the North Jutland Museums. There is already ample evidence of the Islamic world's connections with Scandinavians during the Viking Age, including a recent discovery that Viking pennies in a hoard found in Denmark were made from melted Islamic money.>>The newfound hoard sheds light on how people in Viking Age Denmark could store, organize and hide their wealth. "When we analyze the weight of the silver objects, the treasure reveals information about the economic practices of the Viking Age," Sarauw said. "The treasure does not only consist of beautiful objects. Most of them are part of a structured value system by weight.">>In fact, all the silver bars and some of the bracelets and silver fragments can be organized into specific weight groups. This indicates that the collection represented an important storage of wealth and not a random assortment.>>"The treasure so clearly shows how silver functioned as wealth and a means of payment in the Viking Age," Sarauw added in the statement. "It's like finding a safe from the Viking Age.">>It's unclear why the hoard was buried. It may have been hidden close to a Viking settlement, along a now-bygone road, or placed in a more remote, secret location, according to the statement. Answering that question would require major archaeological investigations, which are impossible in the developed area where the hoard was discovered.>>The hoard is now being submitted for assessment at the National Museum of Denmark.

>>62657952huge numbers of vikings were muslims. scandinavia and Russia actually almost went Muslim before they went Christian. thousands of kievan rus vikings converted to Islam along the Volga river.

>>62658369Brown Jewish hands typed this post. Viking conversion to Islam is well documented.http://texts.archeurope.com/@texts/00057.pdf>The most famous Arabic source concerning the descriptions of the Vikings is Ibn Fadlan ... He tells that he saw among these people 5,000 men and women, who had all converted to Islam"
>>62658152They do. By law, you get paid at minimum the melt value, and often quite a bit more.
>>62658413You sound like a you crossed the red sea. A group of 5,000 people is not "the majority" of Vikings. Most Norsemen were worshipping Odin or eventually Christ. Any basic research shows this. Jesus Christ you are gay and retarded.
Never forget what they did to us. We had real money as currency, now it's just paper and digits.
>>62658415And you also get paid more, the more undisturbed the find is, to encourage people not to excavate the find themselves.
>>62658432Why cry about something that makes your life better? Fiat money is fabulous.
>>62657983>huge numbers of vikings were muslims
>>62658441>Fiat money is fabulousYeah the tax cattle think it's money while I still have tike to trade my fiat currency for real moneyFiat isn't money, it's a receipt for debt. Precious metals are real money.
>>62658420nobody said the majority were muslim. re-read >>62657983 it does not say "majority" anywhere. it just says large numbers.no one really knows or cares who vikings were worshipping; since they weren't really literate and anything they "worshipped" was just tales out of someone's mouth. but muslim artifacts are common in viking burials and it's quite possible a large number could have been Muslim. there were however similar germanic populations like certain types of visigoths who were majority Muslim. and of course this will be becoming a reality again as increasing numbers of Europeans and white Americans convert to Islam as a solution to their perpetual drug abuse, alcoholism, and broken families etc etc etc. you fucking qaffir dog
>>62658441Found the Juden.
mintanon, any updates on shipping?
>An Ebay Seller just accepted my lowball offer minutes after I sent itAlmost wish I had gone lower.
>>62658448Fuck you nigger. You didn't even read your down damn article and you clearly don't have a braincell to spare. Your own article states more things against Norsemen converting to Islam than actually converting to it. Not to mention any numbers who actually converted were probably overstated.Any Islamic artifacts found in Scandinavia are more than likely objects that were traded or stolen. The Norse were know to travel literally worldwide at that time so it's no surprise they traded with the Muslims. But to conflate the two is asinine you fucking mule.
