 Burial Far From the Sea

 

It wasn't just kings and warriors who were awarded the honor of being buried in a Viking longboat. The most beautiful Viking ship ever found was uncovered in Oseberg in 1904.

 

Who was buried in this serpent-headed boat? Two women, one about 75, the other about 50.

 

Who were they? Wealthy, respected ... and that's about all anyone really knows.
