BREAKING: Medieval Grave in Finland May Belong to Nonbinary Warrior, DNA Study Reveals
Suontaka, Finland – A new DNA analysis of a centuries-old grave in southern Finland has revealed that a medieval individual long believed to be a female warrior may have been nonbinary. The burial, unearthed in 1968, contained both a sword and ornate jewelry—symbols of both masculine and feminine identity.
Researchers now believe the person may have had Klinefelter syndrome (XXY chromosomes), challenging traditional views of gender roles in medieval Europe. The findings, led by archaeologist Ulla Moilanen, mark a groundbreaking moment in both archaeology and gender history.
