Beads Found in 3,400-year-old Nordic Graves Were Made by King Tut's Glassmaker

Stunning glass beads found in Danish Bronze Age burials dating to 3400 years ago turn out to have come from ancient Egypt – in fact, from the workshop that made the blue beads buried with the famous boy-king Tutankhamun. The discovery proves that there were established trade routes between the far north and Levant as early as the 13th century BCE.

Add me to the This Is Super Cool club. I wonder if there are any linguistic connections to be found between ancient Danish and ancient Egyptian--maybe a loan word or two?
