No one knows what is hidden under the ground in the villages. Whenever excavation is done to build a road, lay a sewer line or lay a wire, many surprising things come out. Something similar happened in Denmark. Excavation was being done in a village to lay an electric wire there. Then a knocking sound started coming from inside. At first the workers thought that perhaps it might be some pebble or stone. But when they removed the soil, skeletons started coming out one by one. Seeing this the people present there were stunned. Because the people buried in these graves were very rich.
According to the report of Live Science, it was nothing but a big grave, in which more than 50 people were buried together. It is from the Viking era (793 AD to 1066 AD). It is surprising that the soil of Scandinavia on the island of Funen is acidic. Bones melt in this soil. But even after centuries these bones were well preserved. This is a very rare discovery. Later archaeologists investigated this place and then started excavation.
Rare to find so many skeletons together
Michael Borre Lundo, archaeologist and curator of the Odense Museum, said, it is extraordinary to find so many skeletons together in the soil here. That too a completely preserved skeleton. This discovery will tell us how the bones of humans of that time were so strong. Why was the acidic soil here not affecting them? It will also be known how their health was, what kind of food they ate. Information about their origin will also be available. The investigation will also provide information whether all the people buried were from the same family or from different families. They were murdered or died of some disease. Because graves like this were never found here before.

After whom was Bluetooth named?
According to experts, these tombs belong to the reign of Danish king Gorm the Old and Queen Thyra. Gorm and Thyra were the parents of Harald Bluetooth. Harald Bluetooth became king after Gorm’s death around 958. Wireless networking Bluetooth was named after him. It is said that Harald had converted the Danes to Christianity.
buried people very rich
The items found near these graves show that the people buried there were very rich. A woman was buried after making a bed like a cradle. The second woman was buried with her carriage, in which she probably traveled. Another woman was given a beautiful glass pearl necklace, a knife with a silver-threaded handle and, most importantly, an iron key, a small piece of glass that probably served as an amulet.
