    Such a beauty, and just to think that 2,000 years from now they will only find plastic bags and bottles buried underneath their feet, unfortunately that will be our legacy to the future generations. Thank you sir for taking your time to share these masterpieces.

    When you first see that helmet it kind of takes your breath for a second. I think that for everything we know about them, there must be so much we will never know. So many stories about people that were never recorded. But the remains, the ornate swords, the spears and axes, I get a sense that they lived life in this world in a way that we modern only dream about. Surely our movies and shows and documentaries can only catch a glimpse of that past.

    There's something so surreal and beautiful about these artifacts. The amount of time and work that went into creating these masterpieces is amazing and it just goes to show how talented our ancestors were. It's a shame we will never get to know the full stories behind them, I bet they'd be better than most modern films nowadays. Thanks for sharing this wish us Bjorn, I feel privileged and am grateful.

My ancestors come from Norway back to the Vikings on both sides of the family but I live in America. On the side of my mother they made it from Norway to the Scottish Highlands in Scotland and we are descendents of the Scottish Clan Cameron. On my grandfather's side we were given surnames to protect us as we came from Norway yet are Swiss in our name. Please stay away from the Catholics.
