Kensington Runestone is found in Minnesota in 1800’s, and it has been criticized as false b7y most of the scholars. A new revise has given a suggestion that the stone may be genuine.
Olof Ohman one of the Minnesota farmer from Sweden had found a 202-pound carved stone on his ranch in 1898. This stone was covered with runes, which said the story of a Norse journey which turned brutal and saw the end on that location in 1362. The stone was denounced as a scam, but the controversy has simmered for more than a century.
A book by Richard Nielsen and Scott F. Wolter, titled The Kensington Runestone - Compelling New Evidence claims to have proven the authenticity of Ohman’s find. Wolter, who does petrographic analysis for a living, conducted a study of the Kensington stone and concluded that its degree of weathering was not consistent with the theory that it had been carved in the 1800’s.
Other objections were reportedly overcome when a heretofore unknown rune variant found on the stone was discovered in inscriptions from the Swedish island of Gotland. And to top things off, the year 1362 was found to be encoded in the runic inscription, using a medieval Easter calendar.
