treasures and priceless artifacts described in Beowulf are similar to treasures found in Sutton Hoo
Possibly the story of Beowulf was non-fiction and truly spoke of the burial that took place in Sutton Hoo

To have wealth and a name for yourself in society was what made you a true Anglo- Saxon
Beowulf was a strong man that identified what a true Anglo- Saxon was

the discovery of the Sutton Hoo ship burial has given much insight into the culture of the early Anglo-Saxons
the Sutton Hoo is still being investigated thoroughly to obtain as much information as possible from what the Anglo- Saxons have left
