Found the rare "bull hammer" of the Viking era
Scandinavian mythology about the character or the "god of Thor" has always been the focus of millions of people around the world, so finding the "bull hammer" used as a necklace about 900 years ago is an important discovery.
The Viking necklace, dating back to the Viking era, was made of sandstone and was found in a valley known as jjórsárdalur in southern Iceland.
The valley, believed to have been home to the Viking, was found to have buckle and burned human remains, according to the Iceland Review website.
A resident of the valley found the necklace, pointing out that his grandfather's grandfather also found about 20 pieces dating back to the Viking era during the 1920s.
