Ancient Viking Queen Gains Fame Again Through Runestone Research

#shorts #scinews #science news #science #science max #viking #queen #thyra #runestone #archaeology #denmark #carving #jelling #gorm #bluetooth #christianity Good evening, I’m Aria. Researchers have uncovered new details about a powerful 10th century Viking queen. Analysis of runestones in Denmark, including the famous Jelling stones, shows they were carved by a famous runesmith named Ravnunge-Tue. One stone refers to ‘his queen Thyra.’ This links Thyra to the Jelling stones, which celebrate King Gorm and his son Harald Bluetooth. Having multiple stones suggests Thyra held an unusually prominent position. Aria continued, ‘So this Viking queen was a big deal a thousand years ago and carved her way into history. Still no word if she pillaged coastal villages in her spare time, but it sounds like she certainly conquered her share of runestones.’
