We are a group of people, mostly retired, who are working for at return of Cnut the great to be reburried in Roskilde, where he builded the first stone church i Denmark and scandinavia using together with his sister in 1030 using british builders. His father and grandfther and sister is also burried in Roskilde. Since many of his male descendens died early, we are also investigating the possibility for new DNA research in the Jellinge lineage order to study if they had an eventual Brugada syndrome.

Lastly we are investigating if the vikings sailed antique roman granite colums from italy to Scandinavia as a statussymbol and symbol of wealth to be placed in the first stone churhe ( spolia ).The  most prominent are seen in Roskilde, Kalundborg and Fjenneslev churches.

Lastly the vikings may have seen fresco patinting in Italy and the first stone churches in Danmark had Lapis lazuli fresco painting, lapis lazuli powder probably comming from Afganistan. 10-20 danish stone churches have these frescos from early middelage as sign of enormous wealth among vikings.
