Imagine a Viking Warrior beard bushy hair, 2 metres high, a giant axe screaming plunge off the battle.
Danish archaeologists recently discovered one of the largest Viking axe was found, buried in the grave of a "power couple" in antiquity.
Though very large, but the axe has very little decoration on it. From this we can deduce the user it is a warrior, carrying the other big sweeps on many fronts, not a do to out to decorate easily.
Although not said clearly the size of the axes is how much but the team insisted it forced and very large bird by 2 hands: "It's great, louder and heavier than all the others. With this size, it should have a long handle and must use by both hands ", that is review of the Chief Archaeologist Kirsten Nielsen Nellemann from Solkeborg Museum, Denmark.
"Besides the Warriors be buried without a map anything else, seems like he is a warrior when alive and want the hereafter also remember so when he is buried".
Archaeologists Nielsen does not refer to the actual size of the Viking axe. But he has told about the process to find the grave of a Viking. A "dead House", a Viking cemetery was found in 2012. It has a width of 4 metres, length 13 meters, contains three separate graves. People find out what this tomb when conducting cleaning the area to build.
In the main tomb of the "House of death", the excavation team found the body of a male and female pair are said to be "paired" power, or are they born with the shoguns, or have great impact to the community. Although they are not sure that this is a couple.
Archaeologists rely on evidence to confirm that the two men were in power in the era in which they live, as the tribute and the traces of many other things are leaving them, especially a woman's shirt has the only silver and she is buried, along with one key , the position in the Viking era.
How to bury a Vikings will tell you their life status.
"The special Thing is the couple who each have a private grave but placed in a general and structure", archaeologist Nielsen said. " I'm not sure that they are two security hem or can also be the couple.But no doubt they are all important figures of the day ".
The man lying in the grave was buried along with a giant axe, need both hands to use and rather difficult to use. And perhaps the greatest strength of this axe is causing the enemy tremble. See a Viking Warrior beard bushy hair big, screaming at the break on his side then there who is not afraid of?
"People are so afraid of the European type of this axe, axe type named Dane Axe-the Danish Axe as ' six gun turrets ' of this era," said Nielsen's terrifying level of comparison with modern war axe.
The axe in the other grave, a length 15 cm range but still more than the baby in the Tomb.
The other axe was buried along with the other fighters left in the "House of death" are much smaller than the giant axe head.
Thereto, until the new Danish archaeologists found only traces of the Vikings in the burial area rather than not yet found a home in the area.
It is very possible that that will soon change, because in April, researchers at the University of Alabama have found traces of a Viking settlement by satellite scanning technology. Yet more information about the study was implemented in the above areas, we probably still need to wait more.
