A very cool find has been reported in Norway: a major Viking burial mound, several actually.
The site contains two monumental burial mounds, one of which contains a large stone casket. The other one is believed to contain remnants of a Viking ship and a so-called "long house," used as communal dwellings.
A Viking ship! That is so cool. If you want to see what other Viking ships look like, this site has some pictures.

They have no problems calling these, Viking Ships.
