The longest runic inscription - read aloud
#1
I just couldn't resist sharing this.  I know it is very narrow in its appeal, but being a a sort-of linguist, and cryptologically-inclined, I just thought this beautiful.

From Archeology.org: Reading the Rök Runestone




Sweden’s Rök runestone bears the longest runic inscription in existence—some 760 runes divided into 28 lines—and dates to around A.D. 800. The stone’s inscription has defied attempts to understand it since the mid-nineteenth century, but now a team of researchers has developed a new interpretation that ties it to themes in Norse mythology and to a devastating sixth-century climate crisis. In this video, Henrik Williams, a runologist at Uppsala University, reads the Rök’s inscription aloud.
