And then there are the weird “Minnesota Runes”. That’s probably a hoax.

The Kensington Stone?

Peter Stormare says it’s real!

Actually, there is a very plausible theory that the ‘vikings’ ran cosatally into Hudson bay and up rivers south to what we now call Minnesota.

It seems too much of a conincidence that a Scandanavian guy found it on his farm. Now if a Native American found it, I would suspect it might be real. I have no idea, one way or the other.

I'm unfamiliar with the Oklahaoma find, and what the scholars have to say. I'll check it out.

Contemporary scholars work overtime trying to erase any vestiage of White people existing in pre-Columbian America. It sticks in their craw that a European might have been here before Columbus.

There are many people who believe the Kensington Runestone is not a fake. It was thoroughly surrounded by tree roots, meaning that the tree grew over it many years before it was found. It also contained runes that were not in use at the time, so it’s unlikely that the finder would have known them.
