Well, guess it's time for the current Swedish royalty to fuck off and make way for the true Queen of Sweden.

Wait until Candy Crush gets their hands on this Saga story

I hope she didn't damage it. That would be an unforgivable act of Vendelism.

Fun fact: the little girl is American. She found the key to defeating evil overlord Trump.

Honest question: can she keep it? Here in the States, they tend to confiscate things like that.
Anmeloe
Nope. If you find things like that you have to turn it in to the appropriate authorities.

So is this girl the real reason Sweden's prime minister ousted? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45637386

They made a scapegoat out of him to bring attention from their fuckups from before he was elected.
LittlePinkAnimal
Nah, that's because the coalition of conservative parties have had some sort of hate-boner for the guy for years.

That's almost always true in like every nation... The opposition depicts the leader as the anti-christ.

The sword actually dates to the 400's. That's a Behmer Type-I hilt too.

ReturnOfActionCheese
Her name is Saga? There must be a story behind that
WarlockSniper
Story in Sweden goes that she will become the warrior-queen in a few years and will issue a formal deathmatch challenge to the current king.
Nadmonk
I bet it's epic.
PerXX
There are currently 10366 women named Saga in Sweden. Also, apparently, 3 dudes.
totoro666
About 5000 in finland (saga or saaga). Some dudes also.

Saga is a quite common girls name here in Sweden nowadays. For boys it's Flensost rising now, quite catchy

How much is it worth tho?
flavivsaetivs
A sword from the 5th century AD? Hmm it depends. E.g. the 1st century AD Crosby Garrett Helmet went for 2.2 million.
flavivsaetivs
However an even older Roman Montefortino helmet went only for 5.5K. It depends entirely on the rarity of the object.
RationalViking
this kind of find is priceless. Any monetary value placed on it will be completely arbitrary

This comment is priceless
flavivsaetivs
Swords from this period in this region are actually super-common. They've found hundreds of them in bogs in Denmark.
RationalViking
Value is relative. Even if we had 10 million, it would still be priceless to a viking ;)
flavivsaetivs
This was 300 years before the "viking" voyages.
RationalViking
Doesn't matter. These were made by the children of Yggdrasill. They are priceless artifacts for the chosen people of Odin.

Young girl finds a rusted sharpened iron bar that was used as a weapon around 1500 years ago. Hopefuly gets a tetanus shot.
TheFragnatic
Everyone in Sweden is offered their first tetanus shot at the age of 5 or 6. Anti vaxxers aren't really a thing in Sweden (yet).
EranL
I think it expirea after a while?
TheFragnatic
Yes it does, can't be arsed to check all ages but you get your fourth at age 14-16 and then 20 years later. Just meant she should be safe.
