"One of a kind" seems to be a serious overstatement; Thor's hammer amulets are pretty common archaeologically, and despite what the article says, have been found in Halland before.

Also, the hall they mention wasn't found in Halland, but in Östergötland. Which is a few hours away by car, for those not up on Swedish geography.

Acquired: 243 infantry, 55 cavalry, 2 chariots, 95 other
Finished: 100 infantry, 16 cavalry, 3 chariots, 48 other

But otherwise accurate, Andreas?

I didn't spot anything else obviously inaccurate ...

So, other than the main premise of the piece, all hunky-dory.  That's OK then.
