Even today archaeologists keep excavating the land in different places around the world. Many such secrets come to light during their excavations, which tell about the lifestyle of the people of ancient times. From land to mountains, these scientists keep doing their research everywhere. At some places, millions of years old fossils reveal the history of the earth and how life flourished, while at other places, digging in the ground reveals the lifestyle of that period. But apart from these archaeologists, some people are also engaged in searching for treasures independently. The story of one such person is going viral on social media these days. Actually, this person went to a mountain in Norway with a metal detector. There the machine started making ‘beep-beep’ sounds, then he started breaking stones. Suddenly he got hold of a rare treasure. That person’s luck brightened within a moment.
According to the information received, the treasure found by this person is more than a thousand years old. Now you must be wondering what is that treasure after all? In such a situation, let us tell you that it is a 1 thousand years old gold coin, which is considered very rare. This is because there is a picture of Jesus Christ on that coin. Experts say that the coin was minted in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, about a thousand years ago. When we checked this post, we found out that it was found about a year ago. During that time, Miami Herald had also written an article regarding this. According to the Miami Herald, ‘the coin was discovered more than 1,600 miles from its original location.’
Officials say that a metal detectorist noticed this gold coin amidst the mountains in Vestre Slidre, Norway, this is a rare discovery for Norway. There are pictures on both its sides. Officials said one side of the coin depicts Jesus Christ holding a Bible, while the other depicts Byzantine emperors Basil II and Constantine VII, brothers who ruled together. After seeing this coin, experts said that the side on which the picture of Jesus Christ is depicted is. Below that is a sentence written in Latin, which translates to, ‘Jesus Christ, King of those who rule’. On the other side, there are pictures of emperors, on which a sentence is written in Greek language, which translates as – ‘Basil and Constantine, Emperors of the Romans’.
After looking at the coin, experts said that it was probably made between 977 and 1025, during the reign of Basil and Constantine. However, experts are also surprised as to how this coin reached Norway? However, one hypothesis is that this coin belonged to Harald the Ruthless, king of Norway from 1045 to 1066, also known as Harald Hardrod. Harald was once the bodyguard of the Byzantine emperor. Three emperors died before Harald’s eyes. During that time, treasures were looted after the death of the emperor. Then perhaps this coin came into the hands of Herald. During that time Harald brought him to Norway. But during that time it was lost. Now it was found again after 1000 years.
