Huge 1,000-year-old Viking Ship Grave Found in Norway

Beneath some unsuspecting Norwegian farmland, a 1,000-year-old Viking site consisting of several burial mounds, the remnants of a ship, a large feasting hall and a cult house have been discovered by archaeologists in Ostfold County, Norway. “The site seems to have belonged to the very top echelon of the Iron Age elite of the area, and would have been a focal point for the exertion of political and social control of the region,” writes Lars Gustavsen, the leader of the project, in the journal Antiquity.

The earliest period for the Gjellestad site dates to around the fifth and sixth centuries. It later transformed into a high-status Viking settlement and cemetery.

The Gjellestad site is the home of the Jell Mound—one of the largest Iron Age burial grounds in Scandinavia. A landowner first discovered it in 2017 when requesting permission to build drainage ditches across the field near the mound, with experts confirming the find in autumn 2018.

This prompted archaeologists—led by Gustavsen and his team from the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research—to inspect the area using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), to map out what lay underneath. They soon discovered 13 burial mounds, varying in size. Some measured over 30m wide while the anomaly amongst them—interpreted as the remains of a Viking ship—was 19m long.

Ship burials were not an unusual way for Vikings to transition to the afterlife and were seen as a way to honour their heritage. “These societies were closely tied to the sea and seafaring,” Gustavsen adds. “It is only natural that they chose a familiar mode of transport from the realm of the living to the realm of the dead.”

These findings give archaeologists a better understanding of how the wealthy elite lived during the Late Nordic Iron Age (AD550-1050), a period of turmoil after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of the Vikings. “Sites like these tell us that elite families or small communities were competing for control of land,” adds Gustavsen.

An excavation of the ship burial is now under way.

Russian Scientists Discovered Perfectly Preserved Body Of 800-Million-Year-Old Woman In A Marble Casket

A bizarre story that originated from the conspiracy theory blogosphere going viral on social media claims that in 1969, Soviet scientists covered up the discovery of a perfectly preserved 800-million-year-old human body. The perfectly preserved 800-million-year-old body of a beautiful girl was found inside an intricately designed marble casket at a coal mine outside the remote village of Rzhavchik Tisulskago in the Kemerovo region of Russia.

While many readers on Disclose TV dismissed the story as a fabrication based on the fairy tale “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs,” some out-of-place artifact conspiracy theorists argued that the story was authentic and that Soviet scientists conspired with the communist authorities to cover up the discovery of the body because it disproved Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Some claimed that the story originated from a Russian language documentary (see YouTube below) first uploaded to YouTube in 2014. Others argued that the video stole images from a different case: the Taklamakan mummies discovered in the Chinese desert.

A Russian language video, according to versions subtitled in the English language, claims that the intricately crafted marble coffin containing the perfectly preserved body was found about 70 feet underground by local miners in 1969. The casket was first found by a miner identified as Karnaukhov.

Alexander Masalygina, the official in charge at the site located near the small and remote village of Rzhavchik Tisulskago in the Kemerovo region of Russia, ordered work to stop immediately after the miners discovered the mysterious and skilfully crafted marble coffin, according to the conspiracy theory blog Ancient Patriarchs.
