Unique Female Viking Grave In Swedish Mountains Reveals Its Secrets


AncientPages.com | July 14, 2023 | Archaeology, News, Vikings

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - As previously reported on Ancient Pages, the discovery of a mysterious Viking grave in the Swedish Mountains last year was hailed as one of the country's greatest and most exciting archaeological finds. At the time of the discovery, scientists knew little about the content of the grave.

The story began when mountain climber Eskil Nyström came across an extraordinary 1,200-year-old brooch.

"My first thought was that I had found a mine, but then when I had dug around, I understood that it can't be, Nyström told TT.

Nyström took the brooch home and asked around, but no one knew what it was or where it came from. One year later, he came in contact with the museum Jamtli in the city of Östersund and understood the archaeological and historical value of the brooch he had found.
