Mysterious Golden Curmsun Disc And Its Connection To King Harald Bluetooth And The Legendary Jomsvikings

Ellen Lloyd  - AncientPages.com - Hidden in a crypt of a ruined church in Poland, for many years, the golden Curmsun Disc did not see the modern world until recently.

The Curmsun Disc is a remarkable Norse artifact with an intriguing inscription that tells a story about the Jomsvikings and the legendary King Harald Bluetooth. Jomsvikings were elite warriors who trained at Jomsborg.

In 1841, on the east bank of the river Dziwna, some kilometers east of Wolin in north-western Poland, the ruins of the medieval chapel were demolished. During the laying of the foundations of a new building, possibly a new church, a medieval cellar crypt was unearthed, along with many objects. One of these objects was the Curmum Disc. It was part of a Viking hoard.

This particular Viking hoard is fascinating because it was found near the semi-legendary Viking Jomsborg's fortress between the 960s and 1043.
