The British Museum | Bronze Age Myth of the Sun Cycle from Scandinavia | Curator's Corner S7 Ep4 #CuratorsCorner @britishmuseum | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 17 hours ago
Scattered across 100s of Scandinavian razors is a Bronze Age myth of the Sun. Through a weird series of creatures (including sea serpents and sun horses) this myth tells the journey of the sun as it passes through the sky over the course of a day. Join curator Jennifer Wexler, as she introduces you to the myth, and the ingenious detective work undertaken by archaeologist Flemming Kaul to piece together this long lost myth of the sun cycle.
