The Kensington Runestone: Made by Vikings or an Exceptional Forger?
The Kensington Runestone is a large stone with runes carved in it that some believe it may have been carved by Vikings. It is 31 inches tall, 16 inches wide, six inches thick and it weighs 202 pounds. This might seem very cool, but unexceptional, there are a fair few runestones around. The interesting thing about the Kensington Runestone is that it was discovered in Minnesota. If it is authentic, it would change the history of the United States as we know it. On the other hand, its authenticity is a mystery. Many people believe it to be a hoax. Let’s dig in and see what we know.
