Greetings to all here from me for the first time πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ¦β€β¬›
I love to vist ancient sites all over Europe and escpecially Northern Europe of course.

On the picture you can see the great Gamla Uppsala burial mounds which I visited last week. The legendary kings of the Ynglingatal family are said to be buried here; Kings who descended directly from Freyr
From the Icelandic Heimskringla (a work attributed to Snorri Sturluson) it is said that the kings Aun, Adils and Egil were buried here in the 5th and 6th centuries - long before the Viking time and a time which is named the 'Vendel Period' in Sweden (named after a large archaeological site from this period).
The last large pagan temple in Northern Europe, which is said to have been dedicated to the Nordic gods, was also located in Gamla Uppsala.

I hope you enjoy my little history lesson. I will share these lessons with you here from time to time from now on
