1. Vinland Map. The so called Vinland Map is a medieval style map of the old world. It is said to date to the 15th century, when it was purportedly redrawn from a 13th century original. In the western Atlantic it has a large island identified as Vinland, which is the name given to an area in North America by Leif Eriksson who discovered it early in the 11th century. The Vinland Map came to light in 1957, when it was offered for sale to the British Museum, which turned it down because of its lack of provenance and non-original binding. Later the Vinland Map was bought by Paul Mellon who donated it to Yale University. In 1996 it was reported that insurers valued the map at $25 million. Even though the authenticity of the Vinland Map has enthusiastic supporters, the most of the researchers believe it to be a modern hoax.
2. Kensington Runestone. The runestone was found in 1898 in the township of Solem, Douglas County, Minnesota, and named after the nearest settlement, Kensington. According to Swedish American farmer Olof Öhman, it was lying face down and tangled in the root system of a stunted poplar tree. The stone is about 30 x 16 x 6 inches and weighs about 200 pounds. It is covered with runes on its face and side. The inscription suggests that the Vikings reached the middle of North America in the 14th century. The Kensington Runestone was repeatedly analysed by runologists and linguists and dismissed as a hoax. It is currently on display at the Runestone Museum in Alexandria, Minnesota.
3. Thorwald’s Rock in Hampton. Near the Tuck Museum on Park Avenue in Hampton, New Hampshire, there is a circular well covered by a metal grate. Inside of the well there is a rather large rock covered with slashes, which is believed to once have marked the grave of Thorvald, brother of Viking explorer Leif Eriksson. The Saga of Erik the Red says that Thorvald Eriksson, during his exploration of Vinland, stopped at a beautiful land. Attacked by Indians, Thorvald was shot through the heart by an arrow and was buried there. In 1902 Hampton district court judge Charles A. Lamprey wrote to the local newspaper claiming that a stone that had been on his family’s land since 1600s marked Thorvald’s death site. Thorwald’s Rock is now considered to be a hoax.
4. Leif Eriksson Runestone from Nomans Land. In November 1926 Joshua Crane, who then owned Nomans Land island, Massachusetts, spotted some lettering on a large rock near the water’s edge. The same inscription was noticed by Captain Wood, who worked as caretaker of the island. It was photographed in 1927 by Edward F. Gray, a writer who researched Norse voyages to North America for a book, which appeared in 1930. Subsequent efforts to decipher the runes concluded that the first two lines read, “Leif Eriksson, 1001.” The inscription has grammatical anomalies and the mixture of runes from different periods. The mixture of runes with Roman numerals seems no less suspect. The consensus is that the stone is actually a hoax.
5. Viking Ship in Hawaii. April 1st, 1936, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin published a story about a Viking ship discovered in Hawaii, accompanied by a photo of the rare find (see above). However, no such thing has ever been discovered there. It is doubtful whether Vikings could in fact reach Hawaii on their longships.
6. Wisconsin Viking Horse Skull. In 1935 during excavations of mounds dating to 500-700 AD near Spencer Lake, in Burnett Country, along with many other finds archeologists discovered a horse skull. This was something unheard of, since horses are not native to this hemisphere. The find was believed to prove that Vikings both discovered North America and settled far inland at a very early date. For many years the find was not challenged. However, in 1962 one of the archeologists, Ralph Linton, published a confession of a certain “Mr. P.” who in 1928, as a teenager, had buried the skull in the mound.
7. Frank Cowan Viking Literary Hoax. In 1867 Frank Cowan, who was once a secretary to U. S. President Andrew Johnson, wrote and published a literary hoax that claimed the discovery of an Icelandic Christian woman, who had died in 1051 AD, below the Great Falls of the Potomac River. The hoax was intended to raise sales of a Georgetown newspaper owned by Cowan’s friend Thomas Birch Florence. It indeed caused the sales to skyrocket.
8. Viking Ship Museum Hoax. April 1st, 2007, the Viking Ship Museum Roskilde published a press release, which stated that Ireland has claimed the handing-over of the wreck of Skuldelev 2, the remains of a Viking ship on display in museum, because of the fact that the ship was built in 1042 AD in Ireland. The press release further stated that after long and secret negotiations the National Museum in Dublin and the Viking Ship Museum reached an agreement: a true copy of Skuldelev 2, Sea Stallion of Glendalough, which was planned to perform a voyage from Roskilde to Dublin in summer of the same year, had to be handed over to Irish authorities. To be sure, Sea Stallion came back to Roskilde safely and it was all a hoax.
9. Oklahoma Runestones. It is a group of stones with runic or rune-like inscriptions including Heavener Runestone, Poteau Runestone, Shawnee Runestone and Spirit Pond Runestone. Heavener inscription, the most notorious of the group, probably has the word GNOMEDAL in the Elder Futhark runes. The problem is that this type of runic writing became obsolete long before the Viking expeditions to North America.
10. CBA Hoax. April 1st, 2009, the Council for British Archeology published an article, which stated that a new find from the far north of Scotland suggests that Vikings did in fact wear horned helmets. Along with a detailed description of the find, the article featured an interview with the excavation director Ren Lögn who said, “It is clear that the helmet was worn with one horn up and one down. Equally important is the fact that it was worn fore and aft not side-to-side.”

Personally, I would put the Kensington Runestone at the top of the list, because it spawned an entire industry of all things Viking in Minnesota, even though it is known to be a definite hoax.
Hi Deses,
I’ll think about it. For me, the Vinland map goes first mostly because of its estimated value.
While there is a great likelihood that most or all of these objects are fakes, the evidence of Vikings in Canada at least is there to see. I cannot accept that runes were not in use at the time of the Viking journeys. Younger Futhark was still around and the Greenlanders were a bit behind Europe proper. There is no obvious reason why Vikings could not have reached other parts of North America than L’Anse aux Meadows. Just not much decent evidence. However, most people thought that the Vinland story itself was a hoax when it clearly was not. Certainly as much evidence as there was for the silly bloody horned helmets. No Viking I reckon would ever have worn such an ineffient piece of gear.
Cheers
Hi Telcontar,
The point of the post above is certainly not to assert that vikings could not go farther than L’Anse aux Meadows. Writing about hoaxes by no means presupposes that the author denies the possibility of finding true evidence as such. I do think that vikings could (theoretically) reach both Minnesota and Oklahoma. As for the runes, I only said that “this type of runic writing became obsolete” meaning the Elder Futhark. To be sure, the Younger Futhark was still in use. Thanks for the feedback! Have a nice day.
Of the ten listings, we must observe that three are dated on the first of april, all three very funny, especially with number ten, where excavating director is call Ren Lögn, meaning “Clear Lie” in both danish, norwegian and swedish.
Very good!
Hi Erik. Very funny indeed. Thanks for your comment!
I saw a film on The History Channel on Spetmeber 20, 2009, which seemed to make a pretty strong case for the Kensington Runes, including explaining some of the supposed inconsistencies in some of the characters. Did anyone else here see it? If so, do you have a source that counters what they said?
Hey , thanks for pointing out the april 1st,,, I missed that.
The Grail in America story on the history channel ties the Templars to the Kensington runestone.(I don,t buy it) but Scot Wolter tested the runestone and determined the runes had to have been carved hundreds of years ago. The weathering of the runes can not be faked.
This refutes the claim that olaf ohman the finder had carved it in the late 1800,s.
While researching the runes in scandinavia Wolters also found the 5 or 6 runes that the experts had claimed were not yet in use in 1362. All these runes have been found on runestones carved before the 1300,s.
Wolters then also found that a flag or hook on the “X” is the mark of templars and masons.
There will be a part 2 and I would also expect them to rerun part one again. It has been on about 4 times.
I do ancient viking research in Minnesota.The dozens of metal artifacts found throughout this area are from the vikings. There are many mooring stones too. I have found a whetstone and a javlin tip and many mooring stones along the ancient waterway they traveled across Minnesota.
We are just getting started..
thanks

Regading the Kensington Runestone, there is certainly good evidence that it is not a hoax.
For instance the dotted R rune found in several places on the stone. Though a medieval rune form, it was not known in the 19th century (it was not rediscovered by scholars until the 1930s). It is the rune for the palital R sound, and the three instances it is found in the Kensington inscription, it serves that purpose. I can see no reasonable scenario where a 19th century forger would or could have put such a rune in the inscription.
The date on the stone, 1362, also lends credence to the case for authenticity. There is a 16th century document which notes that an expedition returned from a voyage beyond Greenland in 1364, compatible with the Kensington date. However in the 19th century, this voyage was considered to be an English voyage, completely unsuitable for a forger suggesting a Norse expedition to use (1347 would have been a far better date, as there was published information noting ship arriving in Iceland from Markland).
These are just a couple of pieces of evidence that would suggest the Kensington Rune Stone should not be considered a hoax. There are certainly others. Hopefully you will reconsider putting this in your list.
Hello Micheal and all, the “Grail in America” will be on the history channel dec. 14th.
This tells the story of the Kensington Runestone .
Do they get the history channel in scandinavia?
It is so amazing that one of north americas greatest artifacts is still called a fake.
thanks

Hi awsome site!
I would like all of you interested in this subject to listen to Scott Wolter´s apperance at radiostation: Coast to Coast AM Date: 08-09-09.
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2009/08/09
He connects one of the markings on the Kensington Runestone that he calls the Hooked X symbol (wich is still called a hoax symbol today) to other Runestones in the US and to a 14th century monastic order from gotland.
To answer sherman : Yes we get History Channel i Scandinavia, if we pay for it :P
well I am Olafs Ohmans grandson Im pretty darn sure he did not make the stone. Also the book of Wolters is pretty well done and proves the writing is as old as the time frame claimed. I wish I had the stone back from the state of Minn as its claimed to still point ownership to my grandfather. Note Im the only one in the Ohman clan to feel this way My grandfather could not read ruins fact had and got nothing in return for finding the stone other than feeling bad about his rep . I am proud of him for standing his ground and its a shame we had to give up a 168 a farm for the sum 18.500 us what a rip off my blood boils thinking about it today and could not do much being 14 years old when it all went down.The great part is we all have the choice to believe what we feel is right 4000 plus souls lost in the gulf war is proof we still have this right proud to be a Ohman sure ,norse dang right living in the state of Alaska and the usa priceless good day all !
The Kensington Runestone is authentic! There’s no doubt! Just look at the irregular shape it has. The stonemason was probably killed him self, before the stone got finish. Three of the sides are carved in a bevelled shape. But the fourth is nearly untouched. This exclaims why the stone was found with the inscribed surface down, and the backside up. It’s because the stonemason could easiest reach the last detail from the backside. But something happened. The stone was left unfinished. And the nature it self buried the stone with falling leaves and dirt during 500 years of time – left to be find by Mr. Olof Ohman in 1898.In the front of me, I have some very rare 3D- pictures of the Runestone. They show it clearly. Olof Ohman could not have been a hoaxer. Right now, I am working with convincing my sceptic countrymen in Norway. Have a nice day!

does anyone have any of the photos that were taken from edward f. gray of the eriksson rune stone? and does anyone know a specific location of where it can be found during low tide?
Vikings reached the Americas first …no question, but more evidence is needed to persuade me that the Kensington Stone is authentic. I do believe templar descendants have had business relations with Nords/Vikings but any discussion connecting the rune-stone to the Holy Grail is a stretch of the imagination and in my opinion only lessons the credibility of any argument for the authenticity of the Kensington stone. If authentic …it’s likely the Templars are not connected to the stone, but only related by use of common symbols. This has all good making for another Da Vinci Code sequel.
Tom, I would like to hear what conversation takes place with Norwegian countrymen experts. You will need to have rock solid reasoning (no pun intended). If the Kensington stone is belonging to Vikings, then I would like to hear reasons from a team of world experts and scholars. Keep me posted …I want to believe. With this said, I don’t believe Templars brought extraordinary religious relicts here to the Americas for safe keeping.
The Vikings were the 2.nd (or third) group of europeans to reach America.
The first were the “Prior to the Fenecians”.
The Vikings had nothing to do concerning “the American rune stones”.
Approximate age of the Engraving:
Loudon County Stoninscription 3800 years
Heavener”rune” stone 3500 ”
Spirit Pond (map stone) 3500 ”
Grave creek tablet (pure Etruscan) 3200 years
The Kensington “rune” stone (50/50 Etruscan/runes) 3000 years.
Aron, as fare as I can see, there’s little response on Scott Wolters theory about the Templar’s here in Norway. The few reactions I got when I am mentioning him and his work on the Kensington Rune Stone – had rather been negative. It all depends on his Templar’s. That’s bad, I think. Because Scott has done so much positive research as a geologist on this Rune Stone. I hope people can see that, and not judging all his work as crap, because of the Templar’s.
Well, from my point of view, it’s not really important if they were Templar’s or not. First of all they were Norsemen. If this Stone not are a hoax, their mission could have been the same as Columbus: Searching a seaway to India and China. They might have travelled from the Bay of St Lawrence, up streams to the great lakes. On the vest side of Lake Superior they left their ships, and travelled by canoes on the rivers to Minnesota. 21 kilometres pr day, in 14 days; it’s plausible, you know.
But we need hard evidence… It’s unbelievable! In over hundred 100 years the scholars have fight against each other, and still not solved the riddle. And in that fight they all have forgotten to do a properly work. The finding site has never been under an archaeological search. They still don’t know what’s hidden in the ground at the Ohmans farm. It’s a Shame! The answer to the riddle lies there? Will they ever search for it? Or should the debate just go on and on and on…
No – Let the archaeologist dig!

Steiner,
Thanks …I was generalizing when I said Vikings reached the Americas first, I should have said before Columbus to be clear. My mistake.
Tom,
Agreed. Digging the site is a good start. In fairness multiple highly experienced archaeologists should supervise a dig, including some of the most hardened skeptics and believers, this would help strengthen the credibility of any finds. Preferably including experts who have experience getting their hands dirty (specifically with Nordic cultural digs). I understand much work has been done to authenticate the stone, but consider that history is being rewritten …facing a huge challenge here… as you know. I believe more convincing forensics is needed on the stone itself since it the only objective evidence that isn’t not buried. Here’s the challenge … indisputable scientific evidence of when the stone was made in needed, and less focus on the improbability of possessing knowledge to fake such a stone, and less on proper characters or translation (something a linguist doesn’t want to here). Only then will the most experienced archaeologist even consider risking his reputation on a dig of this sort. I am by no means a linguist expert, but it seems to me experts are hung up on the proper characters and/or translation of the stone. Even among the experts some of this interpretation is subjective. Where can I acquire written papers of others (outside of the US) who have evaluated this stone?
The enigmas of the engravings on a significant lot of “American “rune” stones” have been solved by the Norwegian Dr. pilos. Kjell Aartun. The solutions were printed in the book(s) “Studien zur ugatitischen Lexikographie”, published by the well known German “Harrassowitz Verlag”, in 2006.
The language is German. I have translated some engravings to Norwegian and English.
Aaron,
I like your attitude, there must be more solid evidence in this issue. There is more work to do – and the first thing we are agreeing on is that: Digging the site is a good start. So this is an aim. But there is more: unifying the people who are interested in the Pre-Columbian Discovery of America by Norsemen. In this matter many have worked isolated. Now we can unify and share our knowledge on this issue.

Mr. Scott.
I know where vinland is. Case dated one of the burial mounds in this area 1340
give or take 20 years. This location has grapes, black walnuts, butternuts and
salmon. There is also a large mound with a stone shaft 100 feet above the water
table. I believe the norse knew what lon and lat was. and a days travel for them
was 50 miles. So Mr. Scott position the sun in the summer. read your stone and
follow the map. It will take you to Vinland.
The vikings reached “America” approx. 1000 AD.
Let us start with the “Loudon County Stoneinscription”.
The engravings are in 4 languages “Minoan hieroglyphs, Minnoan Linear A, Etruscan and Runes.
(Observe: merely 2 Runes.)
Deciphered by Dr. philos. Kjell Aartun. I have done the translation.
As the field is a bit strange, my english is far from perfect. If in doubt see the German text. That is correct.

the “Proud” (is) “in an awful state”, (o) womanly Virtue. “”
The engraving is approx. 3800 years old.
Observe further the lack of the first half of the poem.
There must bee another stone in the vicinity.
Let us move forward (some hundreds years) to the Spirit Pond (Map Stone) engravings.
The text consists of approx. 7% Minoan Hieroglyphs, 6% Minoan Linear A, 81% Etruscan
6% Runes (i.e. approx. 3500 years old).
Deciphered by Dr. philos. Kjell Aartun. I have done the translation.

Bat Creek stone (Grave Creek tablet).
The engraving is in pure Etruscan. Thus it will be approx. 3000 years old.
Deciphered by Dr. philos. Kjell Aartun. I have done the translation.
As the field is a bit strange, my English is far from perfect. If in doubt see the German text.
That is correct.

This poem is very short. The “first half” seems to be lacking.
Look for another small stone.
Moving forward to the “youngest” of the American engraved stones, the Kensington “rune” stone.
As the readable text consists of 50/50 Etruscan/Runes the newest engraving is 2500-3000 years old.
Deciphered by Dr. philos. Kjell Aartun. I have done the translation.
As the field is a bit strange, my English is far from perfect. If in doubt see the German text.
That is correct.

Observe: On the lower part of the stone there are very faint engravings in the following languages:
Minoan hieroglyphs, Minoan Linear A, Trojan and Etruscan. Hence the “writing ” started at the “age”
of the engravings on Heavener- and Spirit Pond (Map) stones.
The above four “American rune stones” are significant for all american “rune” stones.
So flush the Vikings down the drain!
