Vikinswords in Finland

[Snowman]

"Janakkala's swordsman is a mourning burial in Janakkala in autumn 2013, which includes a skeleton, two swords and other objects. The older sword takes place on the Viking Age and the younger sword for the Crusade. [1] The deceased person has died around 1300. On the basis of tomography, or x-ray examinations, it has been estimated that a man would have experienced violent death. [2]

According to the timing of the skeleton's hands on the bones, the deceased is a man and died around 1300. There are objects in the grave that originate from the age of paganism. The set of charcoal on the face is timed to 1000, ie the Viking Age. The two swords to discover are also timed. The shorter, palm-like sword (Z-type), according to the style and shape classification of the swords, runs between 950 and 1050, and the sword may originate from the pre-Christian time grave. The longer is the Crusader sword (type XI) and 1050 to 1200 [3]."

According to Simo Vanhatalo, a researcher at the pagan age, the pagan artefacts were sometimes found in other tombs of the Christian period. In addition to the swords, the tomb still has some timeless objects with a spear tip, an ax and a knife. [3]

The DNA study published in January 2018 has shown that the mother's swordsman's genus has a type that is 30 percent of Finns. Only a couple of three percent of the father's inheritance is the same as that of the modern Finns. According to Professor Jan Storå, a swordsman would seem to have been a local man whose genius would rather come from the West and South than from the East. The data is preliminary because there is no time reference for time [4].
