Berserk Reference Invented in 872 CE

berserk reference was invented right in 872CE In 872CE, King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norways kings and clan leaders on the shore of Hafrsfjord and created one kingdom. The ensuing Battle of Hafrsfjord between Harald and the other Viking kings lasted eight years and finally unified the clans under King Harald around 880CE. The monument to this lengthy war are three giant bronze swords called Sverd i Fjell (Swords in Rock). The hilts are replicas of Viking swords of the time. They represent peace, unity and freedom.

The image presents three monumental swords rising from a rocky shore at Hafrsfjord, Norway, with text explaining the Battle of Hafrsfjord and the unification of Norway under King Harald Fairhair. The joke is that the real Viking monument is presented as an ancient “Berserk” reference, humorously connecting historical swords to the manga and anime Berserk. It is used as a reaction to point out an absurdly early or retroactive reference.
