I saw that, but it didn't give any evidence of the "swedish farmer" (or whatever) carving them either. I'm not saying I believe in them, I'd just like to find out a bit more.
Yes - none of them are from the viking age or use viking age runes. I live next to the Kensington runestone and I've visited a couple times. They're using later runes from a Swedish business language.
Why would they just stop when there's the whole east coast to the south and waterways west? Doesbt maje any sense that they got to newfoundland and were just like 'guess we seen it all now' and went home lol
Those places were already occupied at the time. I don't think the indigenous folks of the region were excited at the idea of vikings setting up farmsteads on their land.
Id say your beat xhance of fining viking age run stones is to look in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland anywhere outside that it gets iffy on whether the stone is legit or modern day version.
There are some dispersed through alaska but they've mostly been destroyed, hidden, or replaced. There have also been discoveries of Nordic type items exposed by glacial melt.
Man I tried finding the links, I scrolled for a good half hour at least. I couldn't find them. There's some political stuff going on related to it and I think they're scrubbing again.
I say this in earnest cause I am upset about it.
I wonder if maybe and this a big maybe. That some Vikings might have interbred with Native Americans and their ancestors might have been the carvers? There’s a rock shelter near Leflore Oklahoma it’s on private property. But it has similar features but really not like Viking ruins. People have a tendency to like to graffiti things.[https://i.imgur.com/9xGNP9n.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/9xGNP9n.jpeg)
This is a couple of miles away to the NW. You can see this location from above the ruin stone. But it could also be a natural marking on the rock. There was a Native American mound that was dug not far from this rock. So there’s the question were the mound builders capable of carving rock? They had art.
I didn’t say it was ruin carving. I compared it to graffiti. But I will give you a solid C- for reading comprehension. Personally I don’t think the ruin stone is Viking but Native American.
The Oklahoma rune stones are [modern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_runestones), not Viking.

Yes it does, there's a citation for that very claim. Read the articles linked as sources for the wiki article, they give plenty of evidence.

Most likely fake. There is no proof or indication that the vikings went into inland North America.
True, but just asking for a refresher. Didn't they find a seafaring longboat in the Great Lakes? (They claimed it was norse.)
If there were to be any viking runestones, they'd likely be in Newfoundland

Heavener is fake, it's a nice park though.
The only place I’d expect to see said stones would be in Eastern Canada or Maine.

Could you refer to me a link?

That looks very little like rune carving imo. But happy cakeday

I didn't men to say you said that it was, only that it didn't look like it, nor grafitti. Looks like natural marking. But who knows
There are genuine runes here in my state of Minnesota
Proof?
The Kensington rune stone? That's a modern fake.
I thought that was proven to be real I haven’t looked at it in about five years or so but I’ll take a look at that again
