1,200-yr-old pagan temple unearthed in Norway

[Still Waters]

The remains of a 1,200-year-old pagan temple to the Old Norse gods such as Thor and Odin have been discovered in Norway - a rare relic of the Viking religion built a few centuries before Christianity became dominant there.

Archaeologists say the large wooden building - about 45 feet (14 meters) long, 26 feet (8 m) wide, and up to 40 feet (12 m) high - is thought to date from the end of the eighth century and was used for worship and sacrifices to gods during the midsummer and midwinter solstices.

This is the first Old Norse temple found in the country, said archaeologist Søren Diinhoff of the University Museum of Bergen.
