New Evidence Points to a 19th Century Origin for Kensington Runestone Alphabet

12/17/2022

89 Comments

 
​The probable origin of the Kensington Runestone's runes has been found: The runic alphabet from the stone, with its distinctive "hooked X," was taught in a mid-19th century Swedish calligraphy school and the textbook its instructor published. It includes "Masonic" characters like those used by the Larsson brothers, whose runic writing had previously been the only other known runic use of the "hooked X." 

​Magnus Källström of the National Antiquities Office in Sweden published the results of his investigation last week. The key was in an 1876 textbook published by Eric Ström, an itinerant calligrapher (!):
Through a rave review that was published in Medelpads Allehanda on September 2 of the same year, it is also possible to form an idea of ​​the content of this writing. In the part devoted to runic learning, Ström is said to have, among other things, reproduced a couple of runic alphabets, one of which, according to the anonymous article author, consisted of "some very strange letters and signs for numbers, which must have been imagined by some scoundrel." be "ancient writing"" This can hardly have been anything other than a reproduction of the Kensington runes and the pentadic numerals that appear on the Kensington Stone.

In addition, there must have been another alphabet, which according to the author of the article only consisted "of squares and parts of squares with one or more dots in them". This must of course have been a reproduction of the so-called Masonic cipher. It is now quite clear where the Larsson brothers in Dala-Floda got their runes from. They have of course attended one of Ström's writing schools or come across a copy of his Regulations . Thus, one of the direct connections to Dalarna also disappears, because we know that they were often out on trips.
Eric Ström was also a Templar--but not the kind you are thinking of. He was a Good Templar, a member of a temperance society. He had been teaching his various alphabets for a long time, after learning runes (or, rather, an eccentric local approximation of them) from a single person somewhere in the middle of northern Sweden. This practice sheet is from 1864:

According to Källström, the alphabets changed over time due to copying errors, so there is an older set from the middle 19th century and a younger set from the late 19th century. "A funny fact is also that the Kensington Stone belongs to this younger group! Since Edward Larsson uses the older variant as late as 1885, we have here an indication that the Kensington Stone is actually not older than that."

And so, it seems likely that this will put to bed the Kensington Runestone "mystery"--or it would if there weren't an industry devoted to exploiting it.

This is only the most recent evidence turned up over the last decade or so, in Sweden, by a handful of researchers. But even though the evidence clearly points to a 19th century fabrication, there will still be the many who won’t and can’t let it go. Kind of like they are holding s*** in their hand and you tell them they are holding s*** in their hand but they will insist that they are holding diamonds.
The disconnect from reality is their reality. Scottie W is one of the most disconnected. This won’t change anything, if anything, the crazy will get worse.

The handwriting used by Olof Ohman the "discoverer" of the Kensington Runestone in a 1879 letter matches the cursive letters used by Ström. Maybe a coincidence, but another of a plethora of coincidences that surround this fake artifact.

Claims that Olof Ohman was a simple uneducated Swedish immigrant who couldn't recognize runes kind of fall flat with such obviously practiced handwriting.
Your image on twitter showing his handwriting and Eric Ström's lessons side by each pretty much tell the tale.

Olof Ohman's handwriting, compared to the Larsson paper, shows quite a bit of variation. Why do we assume they are from 1885? They have never been positively dated. They could have been produced AFTER the date on the KRS. No one knows.

Another issue is "Runestone Island." What if Sam Olson and E. E. Aagerg were correct when they said the stone looked out of place. According to Wolter (yes, he deserves a bit of credit) the stone's closest geologic match is in East Central Minnesota. Considering 60% of all European runestones have been moved from their original location, the Kensington Stone could also have been moved.

Lastly, I don't buy the "Templar" role in the mission. It was a singular event in history, not to be repeated until the Age of Discovery.

Actually the runes on the Larsson brothers’s letters are still the best fit for those on the Kensington Runestone. These letters also contain the same pentadic numerals used on the runestone. The hooked X rune used for the sound of the letter “a” has also been found in a building at the Ersk-Mats farm. These date to 1877 and this farm is about 25 miles northwest of Olof Ohman’s home town of Langby.

Off topic but, Harold, I see Gunn (Bob Voyles) has brought up his metal "medieval" artifact with you and immediately dropped the subject when you mentioned Metallurgical analysis.

I have pointed out to him repeatedly that the aluminum content of said article makes it modern but he keeps bringing it up again and again.
You see, he has had it tested but he didn't want to tell you that because he already knows it's modern and simply won't let it go.

Here is his test results:

It is likely you both are wrong. The high oxygen content suggests much of the sample is not a metal. Most likely there is more than one substance present--say rusted iron with a clay coating. He needed to describe in detail and photograph the sample he sent to the lab as well as show from where he took it on the iron object. I think he found it with his metal detector, so the sample probably has a high percentage iron alloy. Proper analysis would include metallographic microscopy to examine the textures of the iron/steel. Most Medieval iron objects contain considerable amounts of slag trapped inside the metal since the metal was never completely melted.

Jim
12/26/2022 06:10:40 pm

Actually Mr. Voyles found it the Ohman way, in a hole made by a tree falling over.
I admit to having little to no expertise on this but given the aluminum makes up 9.37% by weight and the iron takes up 44.8% by weight, with the specific gravity of clayey soils being 2 to 2.8 and the specific gravity of iron being 7.8 would not the clay or whatever is holding the aluminum (oxides ?) have to be approaching or near the same volume as the iron in the sample ?
Seems odd to me that anyone would test a sample with that much clay clinging to it, does it not ? Also what sort of clay would it be to hold that much ,,, what,,,, non metallic aluminum oxides ?
Sorry to bother you with this but it I honestly don't understand how this does not show that it is a modern alloy.
Also I should have left a link to Gunn's blogpost where there is another test result shown, I simply didn't think it was nessisary.

Other Test Result :

There is too much carbon for a steel object. It could be from carbonate minerals or more likely, organic material such as wood adhering to the iron object.

We need more information about how the x-ray spectra was acquired. It is possible to set the electron bean to a point or to an assigned area on the image seen in the electron microscope. Is this spectra from a spot or a larger area? Furthermore the x-rays only come from the top micron or two below the surface, so the rest of the sample can be quite different in composition. Most of the non-iron elements are probably from soil adhering to the surface of the object. My guess is that this piece of iron is a rusted tooth broken from a modern back hoe bucket, but it is just a guess.

No big bucks here. Maybe I will get a cheese burger.

Jim
12/27/2022 06:26:08 pm

My analysis is a little simpler, the test results say it has aluminum in it, therefore it is modern, period, end of story.

Aluminum was the crown jewel in the art of Alchemy, it changed the world !
Aluminum was invented in approx. 1825, prior to this there was none.
Aluminum oxides are not metal.
Aluminum ores, bauxite, clay, alumina etc.are not metal and have no aluminum metal in them. (saying aluminum metal is redundant)
Unless the lab screwed up, saying "Aluminum" was present proves this machinery part was made sometime after the late 19teenth century when they finally found out how to produce commercial amounts of aluminum.

As the Kensington Stone is long ago dead and buried, another nail in the coffin is superfluous. Instead, this discovery sheds light on an academic debate– whether rune writing was a 19th century reinvention or whether it somehow survived since the middle ages in the hinterlands of Sweden.

This latest discovery shows rune writing was taught formally and not localized– supporting the reinvention hypothesis. Such a controversy probably lies beyond the interests of the readers of this blog, but it is of critical interest to otherwise hard-to-entertain Scandinavians, who get tired of playing ‘Husker du’ throughout the long winter nights.

Scott Wolter wrongly accuses the Roman Catholic Church of burning Icelandic people for the use of witchcraft runes. Said runes were used for the of casting of " Fretrúnir" or "Farting spells".


Wolter's version:
" In 1625, the Roman Catholic Church began burning people who used witchcraft runes." Considered heretical by the Church, these documents were hidden from Church authorities only to surface again now for the world to see." 

http://scottwolteranswers.blogspot.com/2015/12/

While Scotty blames the Roman Catholic Church it seems the accuser was a Lutheran Pastor and that control of Iceland had already reformed with the ousting of the Roman Catholics in favor of the Lutherans.
Unfortunately it appears the men were innocent after all, as the farting continued apace, even after finding their burnt remains and burning them again. The Pastor had also been awarded all the mens belongings.
With the explosive farts continuing the poor Pastor tried again, this time accusing the wronged men's daughter/sister, With a new trial the lass was found innocent and countersued winning all the pastor"s belongings.

With Scott Wolter's New Blog-post comes an all new version of the Templars religious structure, apparently the Templars were Jewish and followed the Jewish religious practices.
These Jewish Templars didn't follow regular Jewish religion, but a new and improved Wolter version of Judasism. You see if one says the name of the Jewish God backwards it comes out as He-She, thus proving that the Jewish god was not a single male god but a "Monotheistic Dualism" type god. You can call it Contradictionism if you like.

"This instantly brings to mind the symbolism of the upward and downward peaks/triangles of the Seal of Solomon and the Hooked X symbol. They mean the same thing and both contain the sacred secret of the male/female nature of Deity/God. This makes perfect sense since the same Hebrew people were were involved with both sacred symbols representing a carefully hidden ideology. That Monotheistic Dualism ideology began in Egypt and was secretly passed down through the Hebrew priesthood into Jerusalem and forward into the present."

http://scottwolteranswers.blogspot.com/2022/12/startling-new-discovery-by-hebrew.html#comment-form

This allows for both God and the Goddess,,,,, oh how clever.
For those keeping score of Wolter's various versions of Templar Gods, off hand I can list :

1 - All Templars were Goddess worshippers.
2 - The rank and file Templars were Christians with the higher level ones being Goddess Worshippers.
3 - All Templars were Christians with the Goddess sliding over to fill the vacant Holy Spirit position in the Christian Holy Trinity.
4 - All Templars followed an unknown Jewish Dualism religion where dualism is no longer heresy and this religion was kept in strict secrecy throughout millenniums.

Wolters brain has been rerfried with with his newfound absurd connection between the hooked x and the cursive 19teenth century Icelandic Hebrew letter representing A.
The Hebrew A letter changed naturally over the course of time and is not a Templar hooked x.
See how it changed here,, take note of the most recent German versions. (top letter on the second chart) :

[The first coded word in the KRS inscription refers to the Baptistry. 8 GON Ter. Octagon Tower. The Baptistry was already in existence when the KRS was carved in 1362. The use of the Anglo-Saxon foot in the construction of the Baptistry dates it prior to 1305. Cartography pushes
the construction date back even further. The same works of cartography you declared as "dubious" on Facebook.

A lot of people are going to have to rethink or completely drop their pet theories. Especially quit looking for 10 dead men. The word is Ogdoad. This is a Pythagorean Christian Gnostic document. Likely the reason behind the single use of the crossed L Rune. Appears to be a combination of the E and L forming single use of the name EL. This would make the word SkELar. Which is either scaffold builders or scalers as in someone who scales fish.

"We made camp with two scalers" makes sense with the further reference to working fish.

If you're open to legitimate further discussion on the KRS inscription, a completely new blog post is warranted. The inscription itself proves the authenticity.]


Nothing from Wolter. No new post regarding translation of inscription.


[Both NRS and KRS are Christian Documents. Probably best described as Pythagorean Christian Gnosticism. The people responsible were Resurrecting the Ogdoad to usher in a New Golden Age.

The KRS also clearly states, HAWET which has been taken as "have eyes". Hawet is Hectae the Goddess of Resurrection. She has likely become one of the three Marys from Christianity.]


Nothing but silence from Wolter.


[Hello Scott,

Not quite. You are pointing out the name of the Bythos/Depth amongst other names used for the Word. What you call the "Hooked X" is the EIGHTH Emanation from the Word/Bythos. This is Ecclesia/Church/Ogdoad.

The emanation takes place in the following manner: Depth-and-Silence gives birth to Mind-and-Truth (Nous and Aletheia), who gives birth to Word-and-Life (Logos and Zoë), who gives birth to Man-and-Church (Anthropos and Ecclesia)

This is on full display around the Dendera Zodiac. The 4 Aeons and 4 Aeonic Pairs or syzygies.

The Ogdoad is the Eighth Sphere of Fixed Stars ruled over by the Goddess.
This gets much deeper than I care to go on your blog. Most of this stuff will be covered in my upcoming paper on the Gnostic Runes of the Narragansett Runestone.

The spalled symbol is the Bythos. The second symbol of Sig Rune is actually Sighe AKA Silence. Due to the use of Zoe, this can be traced to a specific branch of Valentinian Gnosticism.]


Judging by his response, Wolter doesn't understand his own line of crap. Wolter is attempting to adjust the narrative in his favor. He still doesn't get it. No one talked about the Ogdoad until AFTER 1945 when the Nag Hamadi Library was dug up. Wolter obviously never noticed this himself and is trying to incorporate these ideas for his Templar story. Like many people commenting on this blog, he will never admit he's wrong.

Jason Colavito and Wolter's alleged acolytes have torn apart every bit of Wolter's crap. The only thing Wolter has been right about is the age of the KRS. If he's been right about anything he's either lucked into it or lifted it from another source. He says himself that someone else proved the authenticity of the Stone.

From the biography of the Britannica's author, Ugo Bianchi, who fathered four different known children:

"Most influential was his definition of the category of dualism as a widespread phenomenon with ethnic roots all over the world. Dualism means the doctrine of the two principles that, coeternal or not, cause the existence of that which exists or seems to exist in the world."

Paying attention, your question : "Why are you and the object of your obsession, Wolter talking about dualism? ",,,can be answered thusly :

Wolters version of dualism is not what would be regarded as "Religious" dualism, Wolter and his new disciple Kent are conflating religious dualism with other sorts of dualism such as philosophical dualism and dualism in psychology etc. They have put them all in the same pot and then take out whatever parts they need to prove their point, you see. It's rather dishonest, but there you go, that is how Kent and Wolter operate.

A good example of their style of dualism would be JoeKent, one person presenting itself as two people, with Joe now being resurrected to agree with Kent.

You're missing the point, Jim. Wolter is speaking about the wrong concept. Apparently trying to salvage his penis/vagina/womb speculation in the face of his disciples pointing out Christian gnosticism. Most folks aren't familiar with gnosticism and think dualism has something to do with Hamilton and Burr. Lol

"Another thing, Paying attention, that both Kent and Wolter do when they have lost an argument is to try to change the topic, often with gratuitous ad hominem attacks."

Isn't that itself a new topic? Strange how it's always the other person or as theorists would say The Other changing the topic?

Would it be ad hominem to point out that Jim is now seeking an unholily alliance with liar extraordinaire Anthony Warren becausely that's apparentlily the bestly he can do?

When your mom has to raid the local mental hospitals to find you playmates it's time to reevaluate your life choices.

I guess that is ad hominemly. Whom the shoe fits, let him wear it.

The Jim move here would be to accuse Jim and Anthony Warren DBA Paying Attention of being the same person like in the Perry Mason episode The Case of the Deadly Double. Which one would be Joyce Reed and which one Helen Martel I suppose would depend on which one is allergic to fur.

Some dictionary on the internet and probablily in paper too and Jim. Jim. will tell you that "thusly" is a word. I categoricalily deny that and am typing slowlily so the mental patients in the audience (Anthony Warren, cough cough) can understand it.

So, applying the infallible message board logic, Patrick Shekleton, The Navigator, remains Anthony Warren's alpha although Anthony often wanders away and hunts on his own. The profile suggests an attic full of only left shoes, doll heads and milk bottle nipples. Anthony calls them "books". (I note here that they never caught the Masonic Lodge arsonist from a couple years back) Jim and Anthony Warren/Displaying Patience/Paying Attention are each other's alters, it's hard to tell which is Joyce and which is Helen.

I think that brings us up to the current date.

First the bad news, Scott Wolter has informed me that his faction has lost yet another priceless irreplaceable historical document. This time parts of the history rewriting "Cremona Document" !!

"What’s amazing to me is we had the second part of the now lost document a year before Rabbi Sameth’s book came to my attention just a couple weeks ago. I feel this goes a long way to confirming this second part appears to be accurate and legitimate."

I know you are thinking that we will never be able to disprove Scotts crapola without the Cremona document and you would normally be right. However by a strange turn of events that even I find amazing, I, myself have found it and it is in my possession !!!!!

You should and probably do know that Anthony "Greb" posts often on the hate blog. Mostly lies about his personal history and claims that his cellphone camera can find things that everyone else missed. You treat him and Shekleton with far more respect than they deserve.

It's always entertaining to see you challenge your correspondents to throw down. Super imaginary, bro.

The idea that anything that argues against the KSR being authentic actually argues FOR it being authentic is as Bill O'Reilly used to say "Ludacriss". I've read Winchell's book (have you?) and you are way overselling his conclusions]

There is a documentary series on Netflix called Murder Among the Mormons. It is about the document forger Mark Hofmann who is considered the most prolific and successful document forger known. He was finally caught when he committed two murders to coverup his activities.

There are parallels between Hofmann and Olof Ohman, the forger of the Kensington Runestone. Hofmann confessed but Ohman did not. However, Ohman’s partner for carving the runestone, John Gran did confess. Gran’s confession is supported by the text on the stone. The text fits the Swedish dialect of Gran, not Ohman. See: Larsson, M.G. and Staffan Fridell, 2021 Människorna bakom Kensingtonstenen och dess runor (The people behind the Kensington Stone and its runes). Swedish Dialects and Folk Traditions, pp. 81–87.

Aside from money, the prime motive for Hofmann was duping delight. Hofmann derived secret pleasure in tricking the Mormon Church, historians, and skilled document examiners including the F.B.I. Likewise Ohman’s motive was duping delight. He had told a friend in 1890 he wanted to “bother the brains of the learned.” Ohman’s and Gran’s intent was to play a practical joke on their neighbors, much like sewing the head of a mouse on a frog. After the initial surprise everyone would realize they had been had and laugh, and then go off and have a beer. However Ohman’s neighbors never caught on. He had completely fooled them. Ohman then presented his creation to experts in early 1899 who after examining his copy of the inscription and the stone itself declared it a hoax. When the stone was returned to Ohman he continued to claim to his neighbors he had innocently dug it up and kept up this front for the rest of his life. His neighbors and many of their decedents are still fooled to this day.

Archaeological hoaxes follow a forger-fabulist paradigm. The most successful hoaxes such as fine art frauds have two different people playing these roles. The forger is typically a nerd with poor people skills and is best kept in the background. On the other hand the fabulist has the people skills to sell a mouse-frog to the suckers as a biological miracle. The fabulist is a con artist and psychopath who can work with any material. In fact some are genuine artifacts that he simply mis-attributes, such as the Newport Tower. A further advantage for the fabulist is he is distanced from the forgery so that if the forger confesses at some point, the fabulist can claim he too was fooled by the rascal. One of the problems Hofmann had which led to his being caught was he played both roles. Ohman had no such problem since the fabulist in his case was Hjalmar Holand who took the stone in 1907. Holand was able to amplify his runestone narrative with mis-attributed axes and fire steels from the fur trade period as well as mythical “mooring stones.” The local suckers to this day still believe in his “mouse-frog” and will try to scratch your eyes out if you inform them of the realities of biology.

The infamous Amazon journal that was to rewrite history,, where is it ?
How about the Cremona doc. part deux, that Wolter just told his new Rabbi corroborated the Rabbi's new book, but, oops, they just lost it.
What about the Giant remains his partner, Roman sword guy and Treasure Force Commander, and he found, where are the giants ?
Where is the secretive Government Agent Holden, whose name even Wolter does not know but Wolter successfully vetted anyhoo. Where is he ? did the aliens kidnap him ? Is he a figment of Wolters fertile imagination, a Hobo looking for free meals, where oh where is Holden ?
How about the Templar cave in Montana, Wolter had exact coordinates, did the Smithsonian steal it ?
And whatever happened to the biotite, so necessary to Wolters hard science dating of the KRS ? Beyond Wolter finding it, no one else has has been able to locate it. From Professor Paul Weiblem's report he definitively stated that in 29 passes of the electron microscope on the thin slice from the core sample he could find no trace of biotite, where oh where did it go ?
Wolter relies heavily on his Hero Winchell's report that said it was there, but Winchell erred,as he so often did, Wolter didn't bother to adequately confirm Winchell's report, he just assumed the biotite was there. That's where all the trouble started. Wolter couldn't find biotite on the surface, he assumed the biotite was still present in the interior of the KRS,,,, but we know it wasn't !
Viola,,, it must have weathered off the surface proving the stone was carved more than 200 years ago, but it didn't, THERE NEVER WAS ANY BIOTITE !

There is another striking parallel between Hofmann and Olof Ohman. Both men got the idea for committing document forgery from fictional accounts. In Hofmann’s case he had read Irving Walllace’s novel “The Word” about the forging of a unknown Gospel. In Ohman’s case he read a short story in the Swedish language newspaper, Svenska Amerikanska Posten published on August 8, 1898 called “En Runsten”–“A Runestone” about a farmer in Sweden forging a runestone. The Kensington Runestone was first shown to Ohman’s neighbors in August of 1898 and later in September of 1898. Evidently both men lacked the imagination to even conceive of convincing forgeries, and that lack of imagination may be why they resorted to forging work instead of creating original works to express themselves.

The relevant parts of John Gran’s confession are recorded in a taped conversation involving his daughter, son, and grandson made in 1967. [1] They recall conversations with their father (and grandfather) from the late 1920s. Gran of course recalled events on the 1890s.

Memory over this length of time is not entirely reliable, and the evidence on the tape is hearsay. Even so it damning. While the details may be reconstructed rather than remembered accurately, the gist– that Gran and Olof Ohman carved the stone together– would not get lost in translation.

On the other hand Ohman’s purported motive– to ‘bother the brains of the learned’– is less certain. This was not documented until 50 years after the fact [2]. And as Mr. Edwards notes, the affair may have began as a practical joke on the neighbors. When it worked there, Ohman and friends decided to take their act to a bigger stage.

At this point, the question is why Ohman never confessed. It was probably because the joke succeeded too well. There is no reason to conclude that Hjalmar Holand was anything but a true believer. (He didn't come along until 1907.) Ohman knew he would hurt Holand if he fessed up, and Ohman would lose face with his family and community. (Gran’s confession did not become public until 1976.)

This reminds us of the Lonnie Zamora incident. [3] Zamora was a police officer who spent a lot of time harassing students at the New Mexico Institute of Technology. He also had a reputation for not being very intelligent. The students arranged a practical joke for his benefit, which made national news the following day as one of the best UFO sightings, complete with aliens. Stirling Colgate, NYIT president, quickly located the perpetrators and told them to keep quiet.

Fabulist Hjalmar Holland, I like it !

One key piece of evidence that the true believers always bring up is the affidavits confirming the details of the tree the ruinstone was found with. Do they stand up to scrutiny ? In a word,, a big fat no.
Ask any police detective how often eyewitness statements align so exactly as the ones from these affidavits. Five different eyewitness reports will give you 5 different versions, many with conflicting details, his coat was brown, his coat was green, there were 6 of them, there were 7 of them, even with the events fresh in their minds.
Said affidavits were taken 10 years removed from the finding of the ruinstone !
How could they be sooooo similar, with often even identical sentences and phrases ? I will tell you.
Holland wrote most of them. He inserted his heavily biased self into the whole investigation, even volunteering to and writing reports for an investigation that he was not a part of.
Holland was the translator for all the simple immigrants who couldn't possibly write in English.
Why did Edward Ohman need a translator ? He was born raised and went to school in America, he was 19.
What happened to the original affidavits ? When Olof, Edward Ohman and Nils Flaten's original affidavits got Woltered (lost) how did Holland find copies? when were they written, why were there so many inconsistencies ?

"In 1909 Olof Ohman, his son Edward, and their
neighbor, Nils Flaten, had each sworn affidavits of their
memories of the day the stone was found. Although the
original affidavits were lost, Holvik studied copies pro-
vided by Holand and discovered disturbing inconsis -
tencies. First, the affidavits had been sworn before a
notary public whose license was not properly filed until
16 months later."

The affidavits were collected by Dr. Knut Hoegh during his investigation of the Kensington Runestone for the Norwegian Society of Minneapolis in 1909. The originals were lost but the first record of them I found was in the Minneapolis Tribune on August 25, 1909. They were shown in public at the Minnesota State Fair in September and later in a public meeting of the Executive Council of the Minnesota Historical Society on December 13, 1909. Holand gave copies of them to the Society a few weeks later. These are now in the archives. Ohman admitted to signing his to Winchell in 1910 and to Andrew Fossum in 1911.

Holvik was wrong about the notary's commission. The notary R.J. Rasmusson was the cashier of the Kensington Bank in 1909, and his notary commission was published in the Journal of the Senate (Minnesota) on April 22, 1909. The affidavits were sworn to on July 20, 1909.

You are also conflating the affidavits signed for Hoegh in 1909 with those signed for Holand in 1910. The latter were on the dimensions of the aspen tree. These were published in Winchell's report. Winchell knew of the 1909 affidavits but ignored them. His fact pattern about the discovery is different from that in the 1909 affidavits as to the month, who was present, the place it was discovered on or near Ohman's farm, and where the runestone was displayed after its discovery.

Perfectly good Swedish words that make sense in context are actually a misspelling of a Greek word used to represent an Egyptian concept. THAT'S your position, mental?

"In Egyptian mythology, the Ogdoad (Ancient Greek: ὀγδοάς "the Eightfold"; Ancient Egyptian: ḫmnyw, a plural nisba of ḫmnw "eight") were eight primordial deities worshiped in Hermopolis."

Which raises the question "So fucking what?"

Harold, good as far as it goes, but I think we can all agree that Anthony Warren knows more about Swedish than any Swedish person due to his 42 year streak of reading 2 to 5 books a day, every day, and his 5 state championships. Also he paid to have a poem published, so no fool he!

There can be no doubt about his commitment, involuntary though it might be.

Remember, Williams learned the language as a child. What use is a child at this level of scholarship? Anthony Warren clearly laid out his I would say revolutionary understanding on Wolter's site:

"You are pointing out the name of the Bythos/Depth amongst other names used for the Word. What you call the "Hooked X" is the EIGHTH Emanation from the Word/Bythos. This is Ecclesia/Church/Ogdoad.

The emanation takes place in the following manner: Depth-and-Silence gives birth to Mind-and-Truth (Nous and Aletheia), who gives birth to Word-and-Life (Logos and Zoë), who gives birth to Man-and-Church (Anthropos and Ecclesia)

This is on full display around the Dendera Zodiac. The 4 Aeons and 4 Aeonic Pairs or syzygies.

The Ogdoad is the Eighth Sphere of Fixed Stars ruled over by the Goddess.

This gets much deeper than I care to go on your blog. Most of this stuff will be covered in my upcoming paper on the Gnostic Runes of the Narragansett Runestone."

I think this demonstrates something that reasonable people can all agree on.

Knowing Scott Wolter never has had an original thought in his head and always "borrows" other people's work to portray as his own research, I always wondered where all the Egyptian Pharaoh nonsense came from.
Apparently it was from Ralph Ellis author and U tube (Brave New History) guy.
He will interview Wolter here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B75IGPXv38

Here is a list of his books:

https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/ralph-ellis/411563/

In his book "Jesus: Last of the Pharaohs" Ellis conflates Flavius Josephus, born 37 AD with the Biblical "Saul" or King Saul who reigned more than 1000 yrs before Josephus was born.

" Saul, the inventor of Christianity, was actually Josephus Flavius, a well-known historian. Jesus was the governor of Tiberias and owned a castle there; and he may have died during the siege of Jerusalem in about AD70, rather than AD 33."

And your mom, who took it like a champ, definitely in the union, spoke highly of you. When she could. Jim.

It's frightening how few hours it takes to be a commercial airline pilot. Although the standard is slightly higher than being allowed to post here.

Fascinating discovery! The potential 19th-century origin of the Kensington Runestone alphabet brings a fresh perspective to historical mysteries. It's amazing how ongoing research continues to reveal hidden stories from the past.
