This is history-geek cool... they have unearthed the remains of a Viking fortress that appears to have been built either by King Harold Bluetooth of Denmark or his son King Sweyn Forkbeard of England. It is one of several similar forts discovered all over Denmark. The forts appear to have been used as staging bases for Sweyn Forkbeards Viking invasion of England, and according to the article, may have been inspired by the old Roman forts the Vikings encountered in England. Did I mention how history-geek cool this is ?
