Eight-year-old Swedish-American girl pulls pre-Viking era sword from lake

An eight-year-old Swedish-American girl came across an exciting find swimming at her local lake, when she pulled an ancient sword from its depths.

"It's not every day that one steps on a sword in the lake!" Mikael Nordström from Jönköpings Läns Museum said when explaining the significance of the find.

But that's exactly what happened to Saga Vanecek, who found the relic at the Vidöstern lake in Tånnö, Småland earlier this summer.

"I was outside in the water, throwing sticks and stones and stuff to see how far they skip, and then I found some kind of stick," Saga told The Local.

  2. I don't know anything about this particular find, but people have been finding pre-Christopher Columbus artifacts around the country for years. Professional archaeologists continue to blindly label them all fakes because to admit there were Europeans or Asians here before Columbus means that they have to go back, reinvestigate and rewrite the history books and some of them have built their reputations (and their book royalties) on the "no whites in America before Columbus."
