Samantha Johnson+FollowElite Anglo-Saxons Buried With Their Horse?!Archaeologists just uncovered a 1,400-year-old burial site near a UK nuclear plant, and it’s wild: two high-status Anglo-Saxons and their horse were buried together, complete with weapons, shields, and even the horse’s riding gear. The sandy soil preserved their outlines like ghostly silhouettes. The cause of death? Still a mystery, but it looks like the horse was sacrificed to join its owners in the afterlife. Oh, and they also found a stash of 300+ silver coins! #History #Archaeology #AngloSaxon20Share
susanfoster+FollowAncient Bling with a Mysterious PastMetal detectorists just stumbled on a stash of Anglo-Saxon gold pendants and a brooch in England, and the backstory is wild. These 1,400-year-old jewels weren’t found in a grave but buried together on a hillside—maybe hidden for safekeeping, or even as part of a ritual to 'kill' their power. No bones, no beads, just pure treasure and a ton of unanswered questions. Imagine finding that on your weekend walk! #History #AngloSaxon #TreasureHunt30Share
