]]> Comment on Kensington Runestone Cryptography with Howard Burtness by Sivert Fløttum http://www.springgrovemnheritagecenter.org/oral-histories-2/krs-cryptography/comment-page-1/#comment-11709 Sivert Fløttum Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:16:12 +0000 http://www.springgrovemnheritagecenter.org/?page_id=3683#comment-11709 I've been looking at and listening to Howard telling about the KRS. I have myself written what Holand, Monge and the rest of the commentaters have written about the KRS. I have in vain tried to get Norwegian runologists to look at the cryptographics on the stone. But as the stone has been judged a fraud noone dares to tuch it. Then there is neither anybody here competent to check the cryptography. So I have left the KRS even if I am pretty well read up. I must say that I believe in the stone's authenticity, what really pussels me however, is; what the hell were the doing in that wilderness, far from the sea, and which way did they come there? I am not sure that Holand's suggestion that they came from Hudson Bay is rigth. I would very much like to read what Howard has found and his qualifications as to being able to crack the code. My email adress is sivert.flottum@gauldalen.no I have resently written an article ab out the possibility that Norumbega was the Norsemens Vinland. If anubody is interested, I can foreward the article electrocally. More about me is to be found at http://www.norse-explorer.no.

I find it interesting and would like to know the names of the teachers involved, as one of them did mention my dad, SL Johnson, (Bunny) and Superintendant Albert Hjelle. Our seven years there really defined my childhood and I look upon them fondly. I just listened to part of the Spring Grove Teachers’ commentary above.

The text in Old Norse is: Þórir ok Hallvarðr reistu stein þenna ept Ulfljót(?) ... Tolf vetr hafði kristindómr verit í Nóregi In modern English this means: Torir and Halvarthr set up this stone in rememberance of Ulv. Christianity has been i Norway for twelve winters. This the earliest written evidence for the presence of Christendom in Norway and both technical evidence and the writing dates the stone to about 1000-1015 AD. So far so good. But... this stone has a hooked X on it! It is rotated 180 degrees, but a hooked x non the less. A link to the wikipedia page with its pictue: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulisteinen It is highly visible, below the cross. But did the Hooked X really exist in 1000+ AD? Perhaps not. Here is the intriguing, apocryfical theory. This county was home of the Earls of Moere. Most notable of these was Rangvald Moerejarl, ancestor of the Normanns and thereby the Sinclair family. So far so good. Then, in 1613, in one of the many wars between Denmark-Norway and Sweden, a flock of Scottish mercenaries led by one George Sinclair landed in Moere on his way to serve the Swedish king. The Royal House of Sweden of course known to be a hub of freemasonry. The locals in Moere were willing helpers of Sinclair, one of them was named Iver of Halland, which sounds a bit like Hallad? Both name of a sone of Rangvald and the fifth earl of Sinclair, incidently, the highest ranking Norwegian freemason alive is named Iver Halland. Sinclair and his men crossed the mountains into Gudbrandsdal where his men were slaugthered by local peasants at the battle of Kringen. Only 18 out of 300 survived. Now back to the hooked X. Is it possible that George Sinclair, while wisiting his ancestoral lands, added the hooked X on the much older rune stone in 1613, as a sort of linking the past with the present? Dear Sir:

It might be neat to include historical information about each recipe and the town of Spring Grove as well. (G&R Publishing would be one company that could do a nice job of this, located in Iowa.) The sale of the cookbook could raise funds for the center's operation. Just a thought...
