Scientists from Norway discovered two objects on the territory of Oslo, which subsequently attracted media attention. Excavations were carried out on the territory of the medieval park.

The find consists of two wooden plaques with inscriptions in Latin and Scandinavian languages. The location of the letters is marked on three sides of the detected objects. Information about such finds can be found in specialized periodicals. Some of them are presented in the section of the site Literature on the OXO site.

Despite the damage to the wooden planks and traces of time, scientists still managed to identify the inscriptions. And they interpreted it as a female name translated from Scandinavian and Latin as Brungjerd.

Also, small signs are placed near the main inscription. Norwegian researchers believe that this is also part of the phrase. The latter indicates that this is a kind of confirmation of the veracity of the inscription.

The essence of these tablets boils down to using them as manuscripts with prayers. Presumably, the details of the text, parts of a full-fledged prayer, discovered by archaeologists.

It is noted that such a tablet or bone was last discovered in Oslo about 30 years ago.

At this stage, the research continues. After the planned tests, the tablets are planned to be preserved or transferred to the funds of the country's main museum. After that, the finds can be viewed in the public domain.
