“The people of the Battle Axe culture arrived in southern Norway from Sweden in about 2800 BC, and their culture and society developed throughout the Bronze Age and the Iron Age over the next 3,500 years. They were most likely the first true Norwegians, a comparatively tall and mostly blond-haired people who spoke an Indo-European language that eventually became known as Germanic.”
