Bluetooth -

In Germany a boy has discovered the  treasure of the Danish king Bluetooth in Germany

This treasure hoard linked to the king who brought Christianity to Denmark

This is a “significant” treasure trove  which may have belonged to the Danish king  Harald Gormsson (also known as   Harald Bluetooth)  that had  brought Christianity to Denmark. He  reigned  in Denmark from around AD958 to 986.

Braided necklaces, pearls, brooches, a Thor’s hammer, rings and up to 600 chipped coins were found

The oldest coin being  a Damascus dirham dating to 714.

The find suggests that the treasure may have been buried in the late 980s – also the period when Bluetooth was known to have fled to  Pomeria where he died in 987.

Bluetooth is credited with unifying Denmark.

The Viking-born king also turned his back on old Norse religion and introduced Christianity to the Nordic country.

But he was forced to flee to Pomerania after a rebellion led by his son Sven Gabelbart.

Bluetooth’s lasting legacy is found today in smartphones and laptops – the wireless Bluetooth technology is named after him, and the symbol is composed of the two runes spelling out his initials RB.
