You hit a ‘Thor’ spot on this one.. but I shall forge ahead. Odin would wish it so. :-)
I grew up a few miles away from the site the Runestone was found in Minniesoda and The Mighty Thor was one of my fave comic book characters as a kid and beyond.. It wasn’t all pillaging and conquering, but some legends die hard.
“I grew up a few miles away from the site the Runestone was found in Minniesoda (..)”
- That runestone is known over here in Sweden too (even though it might not be exactly famous).
Most experts consider it a hoax, but not all of them.
