During excavations in Denmark archaeologists managed to find 50 perfectly preserved skeletons of Vikings, which can significantly change our understanding of the life of the peoples who once inhabited Scandinavia.

According to Michael Borre Lundo, the work leader from the Odense Museum, the unique soil conditions and the high water table have contributed to the preservation of the remains.

“Usually we only find a few teeth, but here we find whole skeletons,” Lundo emphasized. Among the artifacts found in the graves are knives, beads and glass brooches dating from 850-970.
