Norwegian archaeologists exhume the body of a Viking queen on Monday Sept. 10 2007, hoping to solve a riddle about whether a woman buried with her 1,200 years ago was a servant killed to be a companion into the afterlife, or if the two women in the grass-covered Oseberg mound in the county of Vestfold in south Norway might be a royal mother and daughter who died of the same disease and were buried together in 834 AD. A DNA test of the two bodies will determine the result. Credit: AP PhotoPeder Gjersoe/SCANPIX
