Surprise! ‘Viking Ship’ Found On The Seabed Is Not What We Previously Thought And Rewrites Scandinavian Maritime History, Scientists Say

Jan Bartek – AncientPages.com – Around two centuries ago, the discovery of intriguing shipwrecks off the Scandinavian coast captivated historians and archaeologists.

Scientists meticulously examining these shipwrecks have unearthed surprising evidence that could dramatically reshape our understanding of Scandinavian maritime history. Among these underwater wrecks, one ship stands out due to its size and unique construction.

The materials used in its construction suggest a level of craftsmanship researchers did not expect to find.
