AnirudhaBluetooth Technology
“King Harald Bluetooth … was famous for uniting Scandinavia just as we intended to unite the PC and cellular industries with a short-range wireless link,” Jim Kardach added further. He even designed the logo after merging the Younger Futhark runes (Hagall) (ᚼ) and (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), which are also Harald’s initials. Erricson was the first company who rolled out this new technology.
Fleeing From Son
Unlike most mythologies, the tales of the kings and heroes who belonged to Scandinavia are confirmed by several historical sources. This story of King Harald is really interesting and true as it matches with the location they found the artifacts at. It is believed that King Harald escaped from Denmark when he was removed as a king by his ambitious son Forkbeard in 985.
The Island of Rügen
Rügen land has been ruled by various empires in the past. Early humans live in this same are in the Stone Age. With time Slavs, Danes, Pomeranians, Swedes, French, Germans, and Russians settled and grew their empire. This area is filled with historical values and has a lot to tell about our past. And after finding a King Harald’s treasure who knows what else is hidden there.
Historical Value
Although the coins and artifacts do hold monetary value, their true significance lies in the history they teach us about our past. “This is the largest single find of Bluetooth coins in the southern Baltic Sea region and is therefore of outstanding importance. We have here the rare case of a discovery that appears to corroborate historical sources,” told archeologist Detlef Jantzen.
Ancient Coins
The oldest coin which was found in the treasure dates back to 714, which is before Harald Bluetooth’s period. The most recent which they found was from 983, four years after his death. Europe is a land that is filled with unknown treasure and people keep finding coins and artifacts buried in the ground.
Buried Treasure
According to professor Roskilde University in Denmark, who believes that these silvers were buried by Bluetooth’s wealthier allies. “Things were so unstable that very wealthy men or women from his court felt obliged to bury their coins and jewelry, usually, treasures are left behind by people who hope to retrieve them when things get better, as an act of faith in better times,” said professor Brian Patrick McGuire.
