		<description>While the Kensington Runestone may or may not be a hoax, it is located in a place the Northmen could have gotten to easily. Once you discover Baffin Island (thought to be Helluland) it is easy enough to discover Hudson Bay. From Hudson Bay along the Nelson River gets you to Lake Winnipeg. And Lake Winnipeg is fed by the Red River of the North. Kensington is only fifty miles or so from the headwaters of the Red River.

No great trek across hundreds of miles of prairie and forest is needed to get to Kensington; it can almost completely be done with a river boat. Mind you, that&#039;s only a plausibility argument -- but the Nelson and Red Rivers are major waterways, and Northmen traveled along rivers as a matter of course.

We are then faced with the question of the horse skull. &quot;This was something unheard of, since horses are not native to this hemisphere.&quot;

They certainly weren&#039;t native to this hemisphere when Columbus or the Vikings paid a visit. But most of the evolutionary history of the horse took place in North America:

http://www.discoverseaz.com/History/Horse.html

Strangely, the horse disappeared from North America around 10,000 years ago. But invasive species often cause trouble, and that&#039;s near enough to when humans arrived to make one suspicious.</description>

		<description>What is the deal with this &quot;hooked X&quot; rune? Its not an X - its an X-shaped rune called Gifu and represents the hard &quot;g&quot; sound, not an &quot;a&quot; sound like they claim in that stupid documentary about Templars.
I do think it very possible that Norsemen - or at least Greenlander Norse - got inland into America.</description>

		<description>I find it troubling that the state of Oklahoma will be closing the Heavener Runestone State Park soon. Even more troubling is the fact that with all of the advance science and technology available today, we can&#039;t seem to determine authenticity. I believe that Vikings came up the Mississippi River, then the Arkansas River, and up the Poteau River as far as they could and landed. It is near there where they found a beautiful place! They marked it as a land claim. It could be a hoax and to me that&#039;s sad. We all can still enjoy the beauty of the park until August, 2011.</description>

		<description>Moving forward to the &quot;youngest&quot; of the American engraved stones, the Kensington &quot;rune&quot; 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.

the female Counterpart (is) sneaky.

(May) the &quot;Self-recovered&quot; stay excited, (o) &quot;Spacious&quot;;

And of Passion excited, really, (is) the &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;;

&quot;the Same, the Hunch-backed&quot;, &quot;bondsman /swindler&quot;, (o) &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;!  &quot;&quot;

(o) &quot;Passionate Excited&quot;, &quot;covet (to Wife)&quot; the One &quot;Burned with Desire&quot;!

It is moving forward the &quot;Part&quot;, (o) masculine Organ;
(o) &quot;Passionate Excited&quot;, &quot;what attaches itself&quot;, moves forward unsteadly.
&quot;What is attached&quot;, moves forward, o &quot;eager Desired&quot;;
the &quot;slow Floating&quot;, o &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;, is moving toward the Aim.

My &quot;Departure&quot; (happen), (o) Woman;
my &quot;Flight&quot; (take place) (o) &quot;by Desire Excited&quot;!
My &quot;Turn of Fate&quot; (means) Lack of Power, (o) &quot;womanly Counterpart&quot;;
the &quot;Disaster&quot; (occurs), (o) &quot;by Desire Excited&quot;.

(O) &quot;Numbness&quot;, ah, &quot;Hyena&quot;, you shall &quot;flee&quot;;
withdraw, (o) &quot;Flabby Coward&quot;.  &quot;&quot;

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 &quot;writing &quot; started at the &quot;age&quot;
of the engravings on Heavener- and Spirit Pond (Map) stones.

The above four &quot;American rune stones&quot; are significant for all american &quot;rune&quot; stones.
So flush the Vikings down the drain!</description>

		<description>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.
&quot;&quot; &quot;Sexual excited&quot;, o &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;, is the &quot;intimate/reliable Friend&quot;;
certainly, ready, (o) &quot;Beautiful and Chaste&quot;, is the &quot;Strong One&quot;.
The &quot;Ardent&quot;, (o) &quot;Mouth/Opening&quot;, (is) really, &quot;in sexual Excitement&quot; brought;
certainly, the &quot;Ardent&quot; (is) &quot;greedy/horny&quot;, (o) &quot;Beauty&quot;.

(May) a &quot;flabby Coward&quot;, o &quot;Lover&quot;,  the &quot;Greedy/Horny&quot; become;
(may) (o) Womanly Virtue, the &quot;intimate Friend&quot;, be &quot;destroyed/killed&quot;.
Mortally ill (is) the &quot;Greedy/Demanding&quot;;
certainly, &quot;weakened&quot; (is) the &quot;Greedy/Horny&quot;.

Certainly, the &quot;small Quantity&quot; (is present), (o) &quot;very Long&quot;;
certainly, the &quot;Desired&quot; (is present), (o) &quot;Emperor&quot;.  &quot;&quot;

This poem is very short. The &quot;first half&quot; seems to be lacking.
Look for another small stone.</description>

certainly, the &#8220;Desired&#8221; (is present), (o) &#8220;Emperor&#8221;.  &#8220;&#8221;</p>
<p>This poem is very short. The &#8220;first half&#8221; seems to be lacking.<br />
Look for another small stone.</p>

		<description>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.
As the field is a bit strange, my English is far from perfect. If in doubt see the German text. 
That is correct.

		<description>The vikings reached &quot;America&quot;  approx. 1000 AD.
Let us start with the &quot;Loudon County Stoneinscription&quot;.
The engravings are in 4 languages &quot;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.
&quot;&quot; (May) the &quot;Water&quot; (be present), (o) &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;;
(may ) the &quot;small Quantity&quot; (be present), o &quot;Sister/Lover&quot;.
The &quot;Wanted&quot;, (o) &quot;Beautiful and Chaste&quot;, (is) portioned;
the &quot;Desired&quot;, (o) Identical, (has been ) given.

(O) &quot;Emperor&quot;, certainly, the &quot;Wanted&quot; (is present);
the &quot;Desired&quot; (is present), (o) &quot;Ardent&quot;.
Slack/powerless (is) the &quot;intimate Friend&quot;, o &quot;Juicy&quot;;
powerless/flabby (is) the &quot;(to fight) Armoured&quot;, (o) &quot;Cornucopia&quot;.

(O) &quot;Crevice&quot;, the &quot;Ardent&quot; (is) destroyed;
(o) &quot;by Desire Excited&quot;, the &quot;Horny&quot; (is) &quot;doomed to die&quot;.
The &quot;Faithful/Reliable&quot; (is) &quot;dead&quot;, (o) &quot;Bended/Curved&quot;;
the &quot;Proud&quot; (is) &quot;in an awful state&quot;, (o) womanly Virtue. &quot;&quot;

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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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. 
I talk to anyone out there who are interested: Please participate in our Facebook site for free. We were established Feb 3, 2010. To day we have already reach 79 members, pr Mars 12. There are people from all over Scandinavia and the United States of America.
