Strange 1,000-Years-Old Artifact Melted Out Of The Ice Identified With Help Of Photo :
Artifact Melted, The Secret of the Ice team makes a number of incredible discoveries. Not so long ago, glacial archaeologists found a rare three-bladed arrowhead in the Jotunheimen Mountains of Norway. Scientists are sure that the last person to touch this object was a Viking.
Earlier it was reported the discovery of a pre-Viking arrowhead buried under ice for the past 1,500 years. One of the most alluring finds was an incredibly well-preserved Viking Age ski.
In recent years, hundreds of such discoveries have been made in ice cores, revealing traces of hunting, trapping, traffic, animal and plant life – tiny, frozen moments of the past. A vast archaeological world hides beneath the ice, and scientists are slowly uncovering astonishing ancient artifacts.
Archaeologists found a strange Artifact Melted out of the snow at Lendbreen Pass, but until a photo surfaced, they didn’t know what it was!
We were wondering what it was for but couldn’t find a good answer. The object was on display at a local museum. An elderly woman solved the mystery for us.
He used such items at a local farm in the 1930s! He told us that it is a remedy for young animals, mainly goats and lambs, to prevent them from receiving milk from their mothers.
Scientists analyzed it to learn more about this curious artifact Melted , and they were surprised when the results arrived. It was older than they expected. This little artifact Melted was lying under the ice for 1,000 years!
“Prior to radiocarbon dating, the species of wood on our fragment was also determined to be juniper—the only instance of juniper use in our more than 200 radiocarbon-dated samples! Now we just need to know how old it is.” The sample traveled to Beta Analytic in Florida.
We were shocked when the results came back:
The bit was dated to the 11th century AD – it was 1,000 years old! Now how’s that for a long-lived physical culture and strong local traditions?” says the Secret of the Ice team.
Since then archaeologists have found a few more pieces at Lendbreen Pass. They are evidence of animals traveling through the high altitude Lendbreen Pass a long time ago.
Undoubtedly, the Mystery of the Ice team will make many more fascinating discoveries, and we can only guess what remarkable archaeological objects are still hidden under the ice.
