Huge Rare Runestone Found Under The Kitchen Floor In Randers Investigated
AncientPages.com | June 8, 2023 |
Jan Bartek - AncientPages.com - A couple in Denmark found a huge runestone under the floor while renovating the kitchen in their house in the village Mosekær just outside the city of Randers. Experts are currently examining the rune stone, but there is no doubt it is a great historical and archaeological find that is referred to as the Mosekær stone (Mosekærstenen).
Discovered accidentally by Lene Brandt and her husband, Anders Nielsen, the Randers runestone is one of the oldest and rarest rune stones found to this date. As many 44 runestones have been found in the region around Randers, making this an area of particular interest to anyone interested in runes. The word "rune" comes from Old Norse and means "Secret knowledge and wisdom."
"There is a solid connection between runes and Norse mythology. The Vikings believed runes were created when their chief god Odin speared himself to the cosmic world tree, Yggdrasil, in hopes of receiving secret knowledge. The great Norse god, Odin himself, was regarded as the "Father of the Runes."
According to Norse mythology, Odin speared himself to a tree so that he could receive the knowledge of the script. Suspended for nine windy nights, he learned their mysteries, which he passed on to his people.
Runes played an essential part in the lives of the Vikings. Unfortunately, there are few remains of runic writing on paper from the Viking era. Nevertheless, thousands of stones with runic inscriptions have been found where Vikings lived." 1
