"Rare Viking Sword with Mysterious Inscription Unearthed in Polish River"

A medieval sword with a mysterious inscription, possibly of Viking origins, was found in a Polish river, sparking research into its history and significance. The sword, dating back over 1,000 years, was discovered in the Vistula River and is believed to have ties to northwestern Europe, particularly Scandinavia and Franconia. The inscription "Ulfberht" suggests a potential link to Viking swords, but some experts argue that these swords were traded widely throughout Europe and may not necessarily have direct Viking origins. Further research and preservation of the sword are planned at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
