Kensington stone
From Metapedia
The Kensington stone is a rune stone that was found on farm near Kensington, Minnesota in 1898, which may testify an ancient European presence in North America.. The origin and meaning of the stone have been disputed greatly over the years. Many claim it is a 19th century forgery.
The translated text on the stone:
- "8 Goths and 22 Norweigans on exploration journey from Vinland over the west. We camp by 2 skerries one day-journey from this stone. We were and fished one day. After we came home, 10 men red with blood and tourtured. Hail Virgin Mary, save from evil. Have 10 men by the sea to look after our ship, 14 day -journeys from this island year 1362."[1]
