- The Kensington Runestone is Minnesota's greatest mystery and is perhaps the most controversial runestone in the world. Allegedly unearthed in 1898 by Olof Öhman, a Swedish immigrant in central Minnesota, this rock inscribed with runes has been a topic of fierce debate ever since. Despite scientific and scholarly research generally concluding the stone to be a hoax, there remains a dedicated following of believers in its authenticity.
Who left this carved monument to a Viking expedition in a field outside of Kensington? And what does it all mean? Displayed in Alexandria, MN at the Runestone Museum, the facts, speculation, and the stories of the Kensington Runestone are all presented to let visitors come to their own conclusion. Interviewed are Janey Westin, a stone carver, and Amanda Seim, Executive Director of the museum. Edited by Mike Scholtz for Postcards.

Excellent job !
I grew up 45 miles from this location. For 60 years I have had a hypothesis that the stone was carved by Giacomo Beltrami. He was an adventurer that is known to have been in this area around 1825. It just so happens that he was an educated linguist. I think he carved it as a joke. Knowing it would confound people years later.
Oh how wrong you are Albert, but let me start with this. You're DOXXING yourself by announcing of how far you are from said location. Secondly, the date 1362 is on the stone twice, one clear as day and the other is written in code...this was not discovered until after Olof's death in 1935. Unless if Olof knew magic and can make chages from beyond the grave, its real.
I considered that as well but abandoned the idea. He was alone and the stone would have taken a long time to create etc. He is a really interesting person that also may have later inspired portions of the fake Cremona Document scam.
The Discovery of L'Anse aux Meadows in Northern Newfoundland proves that Vikings were in North America. Here in Québec Samuel de Champlain encountered natives who told him stories of the Vikings.
I live a hour and a half from the museum, it is an interesting location quite nice.
The story of the stone is mind provoking, would love to learn more. I believe Ohman's story to be true from his perspective.
How the stone got on his land and when it was carved that I havent learned enough yet to know if its real in the sense if carved by vikings.
Even if it was carved in 1860s time frame thats still 60+ years before ohman found it.
So someone else would of had to of crafted it than, or it is really as old as the museum believes.
There does seem to be a biast, I sent photos to some online gaming buddies I play valheim with one in norway and one in germany. Both do reenacting and know alot about viking lore.
It was immediate disgust at even the thought if it possibly being genuine. So idk. I dont know runes at all. Perhaps it really is that clealy fake to those who can read runes.
Like a little kid writing letters and showing them to a college professor
Please find TH-camr The Welsh Viking's comments on American Runestones
This looks like a fine museum...
I think this woman is convincing herself it’s a fake. -even the woman who works there thinks it’s a fake.
As a part Bible Hebrew person, I feel recognize the old saying, “ Familiarity breeds contempt.” Germans were so familiar wee peace-loving southern extraction and experienced alphabet - trade/business acumen : they eventually became violent.
Same with ethnocentric Scandi culture of Minnesota; history is written and fact.
I cherish achievement of everyday farmer and others and feel Minnesota folks are leaders. The northern water route is greatest accomplishment of a people.
‘ Health and happiness ‘ are attributes this short intro illustrate
"What we could see for the 1362 exposed area..." This claim of authenticity is discredited a little over halfway through that first sentence. The person who wrote the year on the stone didn't write the year in the pentadic numerals of the 14th century. They were thinking in Arabic numerals and trying to reverse-translate them back to pentadic. The numerals is just one example of how the person who forged the stone was trying to translate modern language into middle-age runes. Hell, even many of the runes used didn't even exist until the 1700s.
Only according to your narrow mind Neon. The little you know but the stone is actually dated twice. Once on the side of it 1362 and the other is written in code and this wasn't discovered until after Olof's death in 1935. Not unless if Olof knew magic and can make changes from beyond the grave, its 100% real.
native Americans had pretty muvh equal miltech until the chemical advancments we made
The difference between The Rhunes on the Kensington Rhunstone & other Rhunes are the carvings were done by Cistercian Monk ... Cistercian Monasteries (during that time); reveal the same Rhunes as depicted by the Kensington Rhunstone .. This is been substantiated repeatedly ...
your claims have infact not been substantiated, nor were the runes carved by monks , not at all .. your claims are false
I don't know how you can think the claims are substantiated. Just read the facts on the Internet. Do you think Cistercian Monks would use runes??😆
