Two Danish churches (Sebbersund and Fredbjerg) with churchyards

as the blogs note, both dating and interpretation of the finds

1000 AD.

And in reality, it would be no major news if Christian graves
earlier than Harald Bluetooth were to be found. After all,
missionaries in Denmark are known long before his time.

Yes, especially Ansgar and perhaps Ebbo
in the mid 9th century.
And it is possible that the Jutes came in
contact with the work of Boniface among
the Frisians a century earlier.
But it would be major news if christian graves
from around 100 AD were found.

And extremely unlikely too. Actually, I would had considered »AD
100« a typo error, one missing zero, had this interpretation not
been refuted by Inger herself.

Yes, it is rediculous. As usual she can't admit a mistake,
probably made in het notes.

More likely she has fallen into the trap of arguing:

Christian graves are east-west.
Therefore all east-west graves are christian.

Alan Crozier has already highlighted this fallacy.

Yes, of course, but I meant that she claims that
her sources contain proof of christian burials
around 100 AD.


All she provides is a lot of off-
topic crap. And now we not only have to read the publications
she mentioned, but also "every given referrens in those works".
Yeah, sure. She can't come up with one relevant quote herself.
