Viking hoards

Viking hoards are collections of valuable items like gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons buried or hidden by Vikings, often to protect their wealth during times of danger, or sometimes as offerings to gods. These hoards, discovered centuries later, reveal insights into Viking trade, craftsmanship, and beliefs. They are usually found in Scandinavia or nearby regions and are considered important archaeological finds that help us understand Viking culture and history.
