About the monument from Wikipedia:

Sverd i fjell (English: Swords in Rock) is a monument in Hafrsfjord, Norway.

The monument was made by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was opened by Olav V of Norway in 1983. Three large swords stand on the hill as a memory to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.

The largest sword represents the victorious king, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated kings. The monument also represents peace, as the three swords are stuck in the hill and will never be used again.

A detail many non-scandinavians might miss here, is that while the verse is sung in Norwegian (a dialect close to bokmål), the chorus is in Faroese.

+HateMachinist Swedish and Danish didn't influence Old Norse, they *were* Old Norse. Norse doesn't mean Norwegian, it means Scandinavian.Old West Norse = present day Norway, Iceland and Faroe IslandsOld East Norse = present day Sweden and DenmarkOld Gutnish (Goths) = present day Sweden
