An archaeologist holds Denmark's first independent type of coin after its excavation in Schaprode, northern Germany on April 13, 2018. A 13-year-old boy and a hobby archaeologist have unearthed a "significant" trove in Germany which may have belonged to the legendary Danish king Harald Bluetooth who brought Christianity to Denmark. A dig covering 400 square metres (4,300 square feet) that finally started over the weekend by the regional archaeology service has since uncovered a trove believed linked to the Danish king who reigned from around 958 to 986. Braided necklaces, pearls, brooches, a Thor's hammer, rings and up to 600 chipped coins were found, including more than 100 that date back to Bluetooth's era. / AFP PHOTO / dpa / Stefan Sauer / Germany OUT

Un niño de 13 años y un arqueólogo aficionado descubrieron en la isla alemana de Rügen un tesoro que pudo pertenecer hace más de un milenio al rey Harald “Diente azul”, que introdujo el cristianismo en Dinamarca

El tesoro está compuesto por centenares de piezas, perlas, un martillo, brochas y anillos, informa este lunes la agencia alemana DPA, que cita al arqueólogo aficionado René Schön y a la oficina arqueológica regional.

Schön y el colegial Luca Malaschnitchenko descubrieron una pieza en enero gracias a un detector de metales en un campo cerca de la localidad de Schaprode, en esta isla de Rügen en el mar Báltico. Y las autoridades locales procedieron a la excavación del tesoro los 14 y 15 de abril.





Un centenar de piezas parecen datar del reino de Harald I (910-987), rey unificador que rechazó las creencias vikingas e inició la cristianización de Dinamarca.

También hay piezas más antiguas, procedentes de remotos lugares, como un Dirham de Damasco transformado en joya y que data de 714.

Las piezas más recientes datan de los años 980, lo que da a entender que este tesoro pudo ser escondido por el entorno de Harald I, quien, tras haber perdido una batalla contra su propio hijo en 986, había huido hacia Pomerania donde murió un año más tarde, según la literatura del siglo X, explica DPA.

Harald “Diente azul” es una importante figura histórica en el entorno nórdico. Es en su honor que la tecnología de comunicación “Bluetooth” fue bautizada.
