Researchers connect the discovery to the Merovingian era in Norway, which began around 550 AD and lasted until the Viking Age. This is a period characterized by climate change and unstable power.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The motifs carved on this gold foil depict individuals, including a man and a woman, wearing beautiful clothes, jewelry, and various hairstyles. Previous discoveries at the excavation site in Hov, Vingrom, also revealed 30 similar gold foils, and experts believe that the place used to be a sacred pagan temple, where people gathered to pay homage to the gods and perform ceremonial offerings."

"Although its gold pieces are very small, its motif has striking richness of detail."

Nicolai Eckhoff, an archaeologist from the University of Oslo who was involved in the excavation, on Facebook.

As an illustration, the man in the picture is seen wearing a short skirt that shows his legs, while the woman is wearing a dress with a shawl and robe. In addition, both of them are wearing jewelry, have different hairstyles, and hold various objects such as a drinking cup, a cane, or a ring in their hands. These gold pieces are so detailed and diverse that they have become a source of research on costumes and iconography during that period.

"Temuan Foil Emas dekat Tembok Kuil" translates to "Discovery of Gold Foil near Temple Wall" in English.

"In the beginning, archaeologists doubted their efforts to uncover additional gold foil. However, the results proved that they successfully found three pieces through further excavation near the believed former temple wall. Two of them were discovered in different pit holes. Interestingly, it is highly likely that this new discovery was unearthed from its original location."

               

"Ticket Entry Temple"

The following Bahasa text translated to English while preserving any html tags: "This discovery also triggers several interesting theories. One of them is the possibility that these pieces of gold foil serve as entrance tickets to the temple, similar to the temple in Hov's courtyard. However, this hypothesis raises questions, considering that entrance tickets are usually not found hidden under the foundation of a wall. Source: Ancient Origins"

Explanation of the Principal Archaeologist, Kathrine Stene

"Modern excavations have provided more knowledge about this," Stene said to Science in Norway. "The pieces of gold foil in the post holes are not visible to others. Those that we found on the walls will also not be visible to others. So this seems to be not an entrance ticket, but more of an offering or religious act to protect the building."

He added that what was previously considered a pothole can be questioned again, because it doesn't make sense to imagine a structure standing in this place for several hundred years.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "Many new discoveries have prompted the need for routine updates to record the number of gold foils that have been found. The latest data from 2019, as conveyed by Ingunn Marit Røstad, an archaeologist at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo and an expert on the Merovingian period in Norway, as well as a figure of gold foil, shows that there are a total of 3,243 gold foil figures that have been found in Scandinavia, with the majority (2,708) found in Bornholm. Røstad believes that there are still many similar artifacts waiting to be discovered, and future research and studies may lead us towards a deeper understanding."
