A mysterious female warrior discovered in a Viking grave in Denmark was originally thought to be a Viking. But now, researchers have made a surprising discovery about this fierce warrior who died more than 1,000 years ago — she wasn't actually a Viking.
According to researchers at Poland's Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the woman was likely Slavic, emanating from a region in Eastern Europe that is now present-day Poland.
Dr. Gardeła added that the revelation is not all that surprising. "During the Middle Ages, this island was a melting pot of Slavic and Scandinavian elements."
Although the woman's grave was the only one to have a weapon, an axe, researchers did find an Arab coin from the 10th century, adding further proof of its age.
Despite the indication the woman was likely a warrior, it's unclear how she died.

Thanks BenLurkin. Probably wasn't a warrior, either.
Next they'll tell us it wasn't actually a woman, but a 'trans'..................

It's their way of celebrating Rapinoe.
C’mon Man, give the sisterhood a break. I bet she was an Amazon princess who was died on a raid into Viking territory to bring back a suitable slave/husband.
After she fell in battle after slaying thousands of Viking warriors, they gave her a honored burial with her axe.
The purpose of archeology is to prove out historical myths and legends as real and exciting history. Otherwise all you got is grave robbers digging up dry bones, eh?
LOL
