The ancient golden treasure rewriting Danish history – BBC REEL

That was just the coin Kassandra paid Eivor as a token of appreciation chill no worries !
hehe AC fans whats up !!

Denmark looks flat and boring

So WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THE OBJECTS????

Amazing to be able to have a look into the past

::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"NO SIGN" on
coin of Odin?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::

For those who are interested, the runes are written backwards, and in the Elder Futhark. If we reverse them the inscription says: IZ WO D NAS WE RAZ. A modern English translation would be “He [IS] Wodnas’s man. This is in old Danish or old norse and is a representation of an earlier stage of the language, which can be shown by the retention of the initial “W” in the name Wodnas, which is the genitive case. Around the 8th centur, North GERMANIC language dropped the initial “W” on many words, including “Woden” to “Oden” or “Odin”.

i thought the BBC said these guys were black

Best finds

536AD was a massive volcano eruption that caused several Dark Summers with no sun and crop failure.

Pretty sure the signal from the metal detector would have shown the metal type

The Viking so..worked for romans as well payed warriors, and they where payed, or they producyed something for romans economical exchange

This is curious. The Romans recorded the names of kings of the "tribe" occupying Jutland at the time, the Cimbri, as being Celtic. The bog body sacrifices found all over Denmark appear to be the same as those in Celtic Ireland, while many of the artefacts, like the Gundestrup Vessel, depict Celtic gods and scenes, not Viking ones. It is possible that Jutland was a Celtic outlier of a wider Celtic Europe before the Gallic Wars.

Imagine that one amulet you lost being the sole left thing testifying of your existence, that it was there at this place because of you, the last trace of your life and everything in it...

The people that had gold were in on trade.commodoties and likely people.

I've always thought that the Vikings were only interested in silver...🦘

I hate when the so called "experts" claim they stumbled across something amazing. You literally did nothing.

People talk about a sudden great change in language(from protogermanic or ingveaonic to old nordic), but it is most likely a change in the people, or the leadning group. Our dialect is older than they claim, but the ruling over the territory is less old. This treasure is probably some ingveanonic dudes, in lack of better word.

so what in danish history was rewritten?

Less talking heads, more descriptions of the actual items. What do the runes say? Which Roman emperors?

I don’t understand the wonder over the Odin/Roman mixing. Surely people realize that the Roman’s drew in foreigners (willing or unwilling) by mixing in their beliefs with theirs? What, y’all also think Santa (who is based off a saint) worshipped Christ? 😂
Y’all think Christ (if you are a believer) was actually born on December 25th?? 😂 😂

These pagan beliefs were mixed into Christianity for a reason, and this is no different

Yesterday I was driving through Berja in Spain which has Roman, Moorish connections. They'd demolished a house in the town and these two guys were manhandling a very large storage vessel that looked very ancient into the back of a car. In Spain everything under the ground is owned by the Spanish government so there's nothing to be gained by handing anything in. I'm tempted to report it to the town museum..

The BBC is extremely good at rewriting history, that part of your title is very true.

it's a great docu to be embarrassed of your fellow countrymen English. omg.

You just don`t rape chieftains and demand maps in return. That`s...just wrong.

Is it justified to interpret this find in terms of early Frisian culture and would that be of help? Frisians occupied the coastal regions from roughly the Scheldt estuary in the south to I don’t know where exactly in Denmark. They were sea faring and traded with the Romans from whom they fiercely protected their independence.

What does a gold coin showing a Roman emperor have to do with the Vikings?

{:-:-:}

That’s a nice gift! That metal detector is US$800

Rubbish

Lots and lots of archaeological gold has been found in Denmark. Even from the stoneage. So called Lunulae necklases. This rewrites nothing. These archaeologists are just crapping themselves from self-importance. And you know brakteats has nothing to do with vikings, right?

My father in-law found a Viking sword in Long-fort Ireland when digging near a bog besides the road. The best I ever found was an old coke can...

It doesn't rewrite Danish history, but it ads some chapters that so far have been missing

7 minutes that could better have been 30 seconds

Besides, burying it wouldn’t have been a sacrifice—you can always dig it up again. A real sacrifice would be throwing it in a sacred lake

The apparent randomness of this find is amazing. The objects are very unusual. It shouldn’t be hard to identify the Roman emperor pictured, it likely has his name on it. I wonder if these guys got any reward for finding these things, which might not have shown up for centuries if not for their metal detector. The part about the volcano is really a stretch. The treasure was likely buried to save it from someone else. Then the burier likely pass d from the scene. We’ll never know who or why. The Danish are amazingly low key. That they are descended from adventurers and plunderers is very mysterious.

The viewer may wish to refer to the book by David Keys "Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization"

The book delves into the collapse of the existing civilizations all across the world at the same time as the Danish gold was buried.

There is strong evidence of a volcanic or celestial impact event which caused extreme weather, years of crop failure, altered temperatures which allowed spread of disease and changed forage for domesticated animals.

There are excerpts from written accounts across the world of conditions.

The concept that the gods were, or God was, angered, would not be an unreasonable thought to hold for anyone living in that time.

This ruined his future metal detector searches hahhaa 😁 trying to find something better...Everything else will feel like rusty nails after this find 😁

(In reality, it is probably super nice hobby still, but no need to find anything specifically any longer.)

the stupid sound track makes it impossible to listen

Amazing that some guy with a metal detector changed history.

Viking dont get enough hype for how much of the world they actually explored. They have most of the answers to our questions

Very interesting. Rome did hire mercenaries, maybe payment for soldiers? Love when the finds shake up the narrative💚💙🍀💙💚

A kilo of gold is worth about $55,000 today, but these artifacts could easily fetch ten times that each due to the impossibility of them. I hope the Danish government made the two school friends very wealthy for their trouble.

WOW! I've never seen Runes on gold, it looks magnificent.

To succeed in trading, you must review and consider the dynamics of your trading asset before investing. Analysis based on research is vital and Trading as a newbie is quite stressful and discouraging but after linking up with a professional broker my financial situation changed all thanks to my broker.

I wonder who could have stolen those exquisite and elegant gold artifacts and buried them in the ground 1,500 years ago.

Great find - poor program - it didn't explain anything. It went on about Vikings although this predates the Viking age by 200 years. It mentions a hugely important inscription about Odin and then fails to show it. It gives you tantalising glimpses of a Roman Emperor but fails to name him. Was this an Emperor of the Western or Eastern Roman Empire. They imply that the gold was a gift to the Norse tribe that buried it rather than spoils of war but give no evidence to back up this hypothesis or to explain why the Romans would need an alliance with a Danish tribe at this time etc. I could have learnt more by just going to the museum and reading the inscriptions for myself. Not to mention what looked like interesting pagan art. There was so much to tell and so little told - very frustrating...

I wonder where the gold came from originally as I should imagine that the Roman empire itself did not contain a lot of gold deposits -it probably came from southern Egypt or Nubia or even the west coast of Africa(Ghana etc).Roman empire had a problem with too much of its silver and gold ending up in India or China because of a trade deficit -the Romans loved the Chinese silk and Indian spices!

Great find. Explained well. 👏👏

Beautiful
