697 DK - Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church (1994)

Brief Description

"The Jelling burial mounds and one of the runic stones are striking examples of pagan Nordic culture, while the other runic stone and the church illustrate the Christianization of the Danish people towards the middle of the 10th century."

耶灵墓地、古北欧石刻和教堂

"耶灵墓地的坟冢和一个古代北欧文字的石碑是北欧文化中的异教徒文化的典型范例,而其他北欧文字的石碑和教堂则诠释了进入10世纪中期时,丹麦人逐渐基督教化的进程。"
