COPENHAGEN, May 21 (Xinhua) -- The Danish National Museum takes visitors on a journey through the history of Denmark going back more than 15,000 years. It also shows links between countries in ancient times.

The museum is located across one of the many channels that cut through Copenhagen from Christiansborg Castle, the seat of the Danish Parliament.

MOVING UP THROUGH TIMES

We have different kind of weapons, artifacts and pieces of art, mainly found during digging in the Danish peat ground where the conditions for preservation of such items are very favorable," Peter Vang Petersen Tracy Mcgrady Jersey , curator of the museum's prehistoric department, told Xinhua.

The artifacts in the pre-historic department tell a story of an often bloody past and harsh living conditions for people in the stone age.

"As far as we know, they were organized in small family groups. They had their fishing grounds and hunting places which they defended against other hunters, and we see in the graves from that period many signs of aggression and hostility. We have findings where people have been shot by arrows or had serious blows to their skulls," Petersen said.

In the collection of the bronze age around 4 Serge Ibaka Jersey ,000 years ago, visitors can see the Chariot of the Sun, a magnificent piece of work.

The museum strives to tell ancient stories in an engaging way to today's modern audiences. "We see 100,000 schoolchildren every year in this building and we attract more youths using iPad OG Anunoby Jersey , iPhone, Q&A texts and so on. What really characterizes a good way of running a museum is keeping up with the times," said Madsen.

DEADLY LOVE STORY

He lost it all when the affair was disclosed. In the end he was taken to a public place to be beheaded -- not with a sword as a nobleman would be -- but with an axe that can be seen at the exhibition now.

"What they did at the beheading that took place in Copenhagen, was to take his coat of arms -- his shield -- and chop it into four pieces," museum curator Mikkel Venborg Pedersen said of the event that took place around 250 years ago.

All in all Nick Foles Jersey , the museum boasts an amazing journey through time of Danish and world history for future generations.
