    You can't go to Denmark without exploring their viking history so here's something interesting that is a part of our lives today. The 'Bluetooth' logo that you see used by gadgets we all use is a combination of the letters 'H' and 'B' from an old Danish alphabet. They represent the viking king 'Harald Bluetooth', who lived at this site and had his father (Gorm) buried in one of the mounds shown in the photos. The remains have since been put underneath the silver strip on the floor (see photo) in the church next to the mounds
