Anglo-Saxon Treasure

A report on "an unprecedented find that could revolutionize ideas about medieval England's Germanic rulers," that "offers new insight into the world of the Anglo-Saxons, who ruled England from the fifth century until the 1066 Norman invasion and whose cultural influence is still felt throughout the English-speaking world," and which "will make us rethink the Dark Ages" — Huge hoard of Anglo-Saxon treasure uncovered in UK.

That's good news for those of us with revolutionary ideas about medieval England's Germanic rulers and who have long been rethinking the Dark Ages.

UPDATE: The irrepressible Lew Rockwell uncovers another aspect of the story, that this "astounding discovery of ancient Anglo-Saxon (if you will excuse the expression) gold, by a private treasure hunter on a friend’s private land, has been seized by the UK government, and no one seems to think this peculiar" — Ancient Gold Hoard Stolen by British Government.
