Archaeologists have found a 1,000-year-old treasure from the Viking Age during excavations in Stockholm.

In particular, 20 buildings and structures belonging to that time were discovered.

This is written by Heritage Daily.

Archaeologists conducted work in a Viking settlement.

When digging up the wooden floor, a ceramic pot was noticed in one of the houses.

In it was a bag of linen.

It was decorated with a pendant made of silver coins.

They also found several rings and pearls.

Continuing their investigation of the settlement, the team also discovered arrows, grinding stones and amulets.

Maria Lingström from the National History Museum of Sweden noted that "perhaps such a discovery happens only once in a lifetime."

Historians are still hypothesizing as to why the treasures were hidden.

Archaeologists assume that people simply hid them because of hard times.

Earlier it became known that archaeologists found two Viking swords
