🇳🇴 <strong>Norwegian farmer finds 1,000-year-old Viking sword on family farm</strong>

"_X-ray scans of the sword revealed outlines of rare inscriptions with a cross pattern and the likely presence of letters on the blade._

_Based on these inscriptions, scientists said it could be a so-called Vlfberht sword, produced during the Viking Age or the early Middle Ages between 900 and 1050AD._"
