4. Who was in the ship

     • but the soil had an acid of a human in it so people presume there was a human inside
       • remember the thing is over 1000 years old
       • people were thinking that it might be King Raedwald of East Angila
         • The reason so is because the items looked like for a king

         • another proof is that it might have been is because there was a scepter with it all and only kings had scepters
