"The Myklebust ship burial, dating back to the Viking Age, was uncovered by Anders Lorange in 1874, revealing critical insights about Viking funerary practices and social hierarchies."
"The remains of the ship and associated artifacts suggest that this burial belonged to a significant figure, possibly King Audbjorn Frybjrnsson, whose life and death reflect the political turbulence of the era."
"This mound, the largest discovered to date, is unique not just for its dimensions but also because it is the only cremation burial of a Viking ship found in Scandinavia."
"The burial contained grave goods, including a bronze vessel thought to have been looted from a church, indicating complex trade and cultural exchange during the Viking Age."
