Made in abyss layers as north germanic linguistic periods

1st layer: Early modern norse/scandinavian. Well documented.

2nd layer: Old Norse.

3rd layer: Syncopeperiod/late Proto-Norse. The layer is literally a bottleneck...

4th layer: Proto-Germanic/Proto-Norse. Deep down and warm. Ascending (going forward in time) gives you a very unpleasant curse (the justinianic plague).

5th layer: Late Pre-Germanic/Early Proto-Germanic. Deep down and cold.

6th layer: Pre-Germanic. Deeper and warmer, details unknown.

7th layer: Proto-Indo-European.

"Germany GP (9th Race): 1st place (Nürburgring) – 'It was a tough race; it was one of the toughest for a long time. I'm happy the race wasn't two or three laps longer, as Kimi was a bit quicker towards the end. I'm very happy that it worked out and it's very special. The team worked really hard to give me the chance to win this weekend and we got it. First of all you have to remember that it's a privilege to have the opportunity to race in your home country; we have around 20 races, but there are obviously more than 20 countries, so it's special to race at home and get so much support. I had a good start and then just focused on every single lap during the race. You don't really think about where you are while you are racing, you can't allow your mind to drift, but when the flag came out and the race was over I really let myself enjoy the parade lap and saw a lot of people in the grandstands cheering and waving flags. These pictures will remain in my head for a long, long time.'" - february 14, 2025 ��� @.sebastianvettel / instagram

A Unique Pre-Viking Helmet Fragment Discovered in Denmark

In Lejre, the northwestern part of the island of Zealand in eastern Denmark, detectorists have uncovered an exceptionally rare fragment of a helmet dating back to the period just before the Viking Age. The two helmet pieces were discovered at the Lillebro site near Lejre.

This gold-plated piece, adorned with red gemstones, once belonged to one of Scandinavia’s most magnificent helmets, revealing close connections to present-day England and Sweden.

With its gold plating, gemstones, and intricate animal ornamentation, the helmet fragment found in 2024 will soon shine in a display case at Lejre Museum. “Finding helmet pieces is a rare occurrence in Denmark. This fragment comes from what must have been one of Scandinavia’s most splendid helmets,” says Julie Nielsen, the archaeological director of ROMU.

The bronze fragment is gilded and features a red gemstone known as a garnet. The fragment consists of two parts discovered in the same field, fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. Together, they form most of the helmet’s brow arch, indicating their distinctive curved shape.

“The gold, the ornamentation, and the garnet all highlight the helmet’s grandeur. The ornamentation—a creature with prominent teeth and large eyes—reflects the style we recognize from the later Germanic Iron Age; this fragment dates from between 650 and 750 AD,” said Julie Nielsen.

The helmet serves as a testament to the grandeur and status reflected in Lejre’s hall buildings and burial monuments from the same period. According to Julie Nielsen, the archaeological director of ROMU, this artifact was likely a significant item reserved for a king or a high-ranking individual within the region’s hierarchical society. “The deep red garnet has long been associated with strength. The intricate ornamentation on the helmet narrates a story of immense power belonging to its owner,” she explains.

Nielsen posits that the helmet was not intended for battle, noting that during the later Germanic Iron Age, Lejre was not a site of local conflict but rather a center for political and religious elites. The focus here was on worship, exaltation, networking, and trade, extending even across national borders.

“We observe similar helmet fragments in neighboring countries to the east and west—England and Sweden—indicating that Lejre was situated at the heart of a significant trade axis,” she adds.

In the extensive study “Viking Dynasties,” researchers from ROMU, the National Museum, and Uppsala University draw comparisons between Lejre’s legendary royal seat and a sister dynasty in Gamla Uppsala, Sweden. John Ljungkvist, an archaeologist and senior researcher at Uppsala University, has meticulously examined the helmet fragment from Lejre and emphasizes its unique construction: “Unlike other helmets that feature three separate fittings, this helmet’s brow arch is crafted as a single piece. We have not encountered a similar variant of this exclusive helmet before.”

Ljungkvist considers the ability to produce a helmet of this caliber to be extraordinary: “This represents craftsmanship of exceptional quality—comparable to that of the renowned helmet from the Sutton Hoo ship burial in England.”

The discovery will be showcased at the Lejre Museum during a special opening for the winter holiday in week 8.
