Well it is 91 degrees with a dew point of 76 degrees outside so I don't feel so bad wasting 1 1/2 hours downloading and listening to Episode 36 (if you are only interested in KRS you can skip to 43:20). The podcast has no information on whether the KRS in a modern forgery or authentic.
The real question we should be asking is if KRS is a forgery how did the forger know the hill where KRS

errr - awesome interpretation... it's actually an educational inscription detailing how important writing is in recording who done what when ??
In my mind the implications of that are rather startling... was there perhaps a series of such stones that were intended for 'educational' purposes? Or is it a standalone justification of the art of writing?

The Rök Runestone, erected in the late 800s in the Swedish province of Östergötland, is the world's most well-known runestone. Its long inscription has seemed impossible to understand, despite the fact that it is relatively easy to read. A new interpretation of the inscription has now been presented ...

I am aware of the criticism of Farley Mowat, However his evidence and speculation should not be ignored. West Viking was written and published before the discovery of L’Anse aux Meadows. He also proposed a pre-Norse migration to North America in his book The Farfarers. This is evidenced by the Christian monks in Iceland, non Norse architecture on Greenland and the mention of Hvitramanaland in at

Well some Norse 'experts' still do consider the Kensington Runestone to be a fake. When I corresponded with Kirsten Seaver several years ago she considered it a fake. Gloria Farley was preparing a book on the Heavener Runestone but she died before it was published.

Donald,
1864 is just the earliest publication date of one of the three books the inscriber lifted the Latin from. Also none of this changes the issue of the inscriptions being taken verbatim out of modern Latin grammar books. A couple words could be chalked up to coincidence, but when they all can be traced to modern books, it becomes impossible to call it coincidence anymore.

In what has been described as an “amazing coincidence”, a viking runestone with a religious inscription has been discovered on a farm owned by archaeologist Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon, an expert on Norse church history.
Found by Dr Gibbon’s father, Donnie Grieve, a retired teacher from Harray, the runes on the broken stone are a 19-character Latin passage of part the Lord’s Prayer — “who art in heav

While I agree the arguments on both sides have been pretty good at times, what gets me is the message itself.

Well it could be a forgery.
However the dotted R and the hooked X were not generally known in the 19th century. Also the 'Easter count' used by Cistercian monks to authenticate the date would seem to contribute to authenticy. Either Olf Ohman had extensive knowledge of obscure medieval runes to create the forgery or the engraving is authentic.

Sam,
Gloria Farley wrote one book, In Plain Sight which I unfortunately have not read. She was working on another book and I corresponded with her very briefly many years ago.
She was from Oklahoma and became interested in the Heavener Rune Stone which led her to investigate other anomalous artifacts in the Americas.

Can the epigrapher from Omann read the inscriptions on the Colorado rock?
I'm sure there are many on this board who believe in indeppendent development. This inscription set with perfect matches needs some serious work. The ship design raises other questions. is there a navigable route from the carribean to the rock site? Forget asbout the runestone etc. This needs research.
