Viking Guardian of Christ Tomb Ends Final Chapter in Denmark
A Danish 90 year old named Peter Beckholdt guarded the tomb of Christ near Jerusalem after a life of wandering from California gold rush to Africa with Stanley and Gordon. He lived in a cabin on the hill beside the Holy Sepulchre, spoke thirteen languages, and became a local celebrity before dying and returning to Norse soil for burial in Askov.
