In news that should not surprise anyone, it turns out that the remains of Viking fighters who have been mistakenly (and we may add, 邋) to assume that they are male are actually women. This soldier is not only a woman, but also a military leader - if you want, it is also a warrior princess.

According to Swedish media reports The Local Archaeologist Hjalmar Stolpe said that in the late 1980s, the body of the warrior woman was discovered in the small town of Birka in the Viking era. Stolpe and his researchers believe that widows belong to men because traditional masculine-based items - warrior equipment and horses - revolve around the remains.
If there is no outstanding bone scientist Anna Kjellström from Stockholm University, then the warrior may be mistakenly identified. A few years ago, Kjellström happened to be analyzing the remains of a project when she noticed that the skeleton of her jaw looked finer and thinner than the man's cheekbones. An orthopedic analysis further supports her hypothesis, and a recent DNA test formalized it: the warrior is more likely to be a Torah than a Thor.
"This is actually a woman, and it is quite high somewhere over the age of 30." Measuring approximately [5 feet 6 inches]," said Uppsala University archaeologist Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson. The lead author of the study was Pu in the American Journal of Anthropology
except for the female Viking graves decorated with "complete warrior equipment" - including "swords, axes, spears, piercing arrows, Fighting knives, shields and two horses " - This real life Xena has a special board game on her lap," or more war plan games used to try combat tactics and strategies, which shows that she is a powerful Military leader. She is most likely to plan, lead and participate in the battleFight, "Hedenstierna-Jonson explained.
According to Forbes, the speculation about female viking warriors has existed for a long time, mainly based on medieval history, talking about women and men fighting side by side, and artistic image But the most people - including scientists - think this is a folklore. Although Hedenstierna-Jonson and her colleagues are the first to recognize the fact that senior women in the military are not common on the day, they do mention sex discrimination may be associated with this woman. The facts about why gender is relevant.
"The image of male warriors in this patriarchal society has been strengthened by research traditions and contemporary preconceptions. Therefore, the physical gender of an individual is taken for granted,” they wrote in the study, and later added. “Viking scholars have been reluctant to recognize the agency of arms women” and “similar associations of women who bury weapons” were rejected. It is believed that armaments may be heirlooms, symbolic carriers that reflect the status and role of the family rather than the individual or serious commodities. Male individuals in tombs with similar material records are not questioned in the same way. "
[123 Perhaps this study will inspire archaeologists to re-examine the remains of other soldiers to determine if there are more hard-level senior female fighters. We guess the answer is "Hell is."With Gal Gadot killing it as Wonder Woman, now we feel that there will be some amazing Halloween costumes with warrior themes this year!
