Are they sure the rune didn't look like this?
Just damn.

Did the Scandinavians beat Columbus to America twice? I don't know, my grandfather didn't get here till 1902.

Hej! to the Swedish Ping List.

Those who believe that the stone is authentic claim that the marshy surroundings of its origin were areas of water in 1362, and therefore the area in Minnesota where it was found was indeed an island at the time. You mean the earth can change without the existance of SUVs?

When I was a kid in southeast Oklahoma, there was this big slab of sandstone near Heavener that was called the runestone. They've made a state park out of the area now, but if I remember correctly, they had dated those runes to around 800 AD.
If that's true, it's a pretty significant trashing to Columbus' claim of 'discovery.'

I always wondered how anybody could consider Columbus, or anybody else from Europe, "discovering" the Americas when roughly 20 million people already lived here and had for a dozen centuries...

Absolute bunk. Everyone knows you can't have an actual claim to discovery unless it lead to the total destruction of indigenous cultures. < /s>

I'm doing the
norse_course@yahoogroups.com. I wonder how many Scandinavian imigrants would have been able to write runes. There are a lot of runestones online if you do a google search. Almost all are commemorating the death of someone.

Anyone know whatever happened to the Granby Idol?

Eight Geats (southern Swedes) and 22 Norwegians [...] My Grampa Hans (who came over from Stavanger about 1909) would have loved this.
Especially the part about what they called the southern Swedes.

What?!?!?! 40+ replies and no Swedish Bikini Team pics? Surely, the SBT was instrumental in the discovery and opening of the New World!
