Decoding the Kensington Runestone

The story goes that this stone covered with Viking runes was found in a Minnesota field in 1898. Its true history is much more interesting.

Not sure why this showed up in my "new" tab for lemmy when its 2 days old, but thank you for sharing, as someone who was very interested in Viking era Scandinavians in North America, its endlessly infuriating to STILL have people claim that there's "recent and clear evidence of Viking inhabitation of the area now known as the USA" and then just... link to this, something that was debunked practically the second it was discovered
- Isn't this always the way? The truth is more interesting than what these hoaxters come up with.
