Inscriptions on this 2,000-pound boulder were made by five pranksters studying Scandinavian runes at the University of Minnesota. (Janey Westin, Scott Wolter)

Shouldn’t it have been relatively easy to show by chemical and physical inspection and test, that inscriptions carved by modern-day pranksters were of recent provenance. You know, degree of chemical weathering, sharpness of edges, and the like.

This refers to the Minnesota stone, not the Kensington one in case people are confused....it wasn’t well-written.
I remember seeing this on an interesting History Channel documentary about this, and they had some skepticism toward the Minnesota stone.
