A "ring of fire" can be seen around the moon during an annular eclipse visible from Chiayi in southern Taiwan on June 21, 2020. Alberto Buzzola/LightRocket/Getty ImagesSaturday’s annular solar eclipse will create a dazzling “ring of fire” across the Americas.

☆ Runestones from Denmark praising a Viking queen hint at her power

Both Jelling runestones also named a royal figure: Queen Thyra, mother of then-reigning King Harald Bluetooth. In recent years, archaeologists have revised prior interpretations of Viking warrior burials as exclusively male, finding that Viking women were fighters, too. The new findings add to the picture of influential Viking women holding prominent roles in statecraft as well as on the battlefield. Fewer than 10 runestones in Denmark from the pre-Christian era mention women at all — and four of those are of Queen Thyra. “Runestones in Denmark were mostly erected in honour of men, but Thyra is commemorated on more runestones than any other person in Viking Age Denmark,” Imer said.

☆ A solid gold swastika disc is the oldest-known reference to Odin of Valhalla, the Norse god of war and death, say archaeologists
  + stars: | 2023-03-12 | by ( Bethany Dawson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Danish scientists have found the oldest-known reference to the Norse god Odin. It is the first piece of evidence that Odin was worshipped as early as the 5th century. Odin was also the god of war and death who ruled over Valhalla, a majestic hall dedicated to those killed in battle, according to Nordic religion. He was predominantly worshipped by Norse and later Viking kings, warrior chieftains, and their men, according to the National Museum of Denmark. It included 2.2 pounds of gold medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry.
☆ A mysterious set of bones was found in a bog in Europe, and they could indicate an ancient ritual
  + stars: | 2022-12-24 | by ( Hannah Getahun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The skeleton could be part of a collection of "bog bodies" found all over Northern Europe. Evidence also suggests that the "bog body" could have been there as part of a ritual. Researchers understood it to be a "bog body" which refers to the dozens of usually male bodies found in bogs in Europe. One of the most famous bog bodies, the Tollund Man, was also found in Denmark. This has been widely done throughout ancient times, and this is most likely a victim of such a ritual," Struve said in a press release.
