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.

@whithhammer Silly person.

It's a monument. It's the three giant swords at Hafrsfjord, marking King Harald's victory and the collection of the western counties into Norway(what is today eastern Norway wasn't part of Norway at the time)

@OnyxPammegistos I actually knew that lol (the first part) but not who came up with the term

learned something new! cool! :D

[OnyxPammegistos]

@littlerudegirrrrl Byzantium was an ancient Hellenic city founded in '667 b.c.' after Byzas from Megara. The term 'Byzantine Empire' is the name the German historian Hieronymous Wolf gave to the christianized Eastern Roman Empire a hundred years after the fall of Constantinopel, in order to distinguish the Medieval Hellenic history from the Ancient Roman one.

@OnyxPammegistos
