The ancient golden treasure rewriting Danish history – BBC REEL
A chance discovery is shedding new light on early Norse history, after two old school-friends, armed only with a metal detector stumbled across a gold treasure trove.
More than 20 gold artefacts, weighing almost a kilo, were found buried in a field in the Danish village of Vindelev. Hidden for almost 1,500 years, the treasure includes Roman medallions and ornate pendants called ’bracteates’ - some as large as a saucer.
There are mysterious inscriptions and never-seen-before runes, which researchers think are some of the earliest references to Norse gods.
So could Vindelev have been the seat of power for a previously unknown Iron Age king or chieftain?
