In our last live conversation with the University of Uppsala's eminent runologist Professor Henrik Williams, he hinted that he'd enjoy talking to us about "American runestones," famous forgeries like the Kensington runestone (which you can see my own skeptical analysis of above).

We've managed to arrange a date and time for this live conversation on Sunday, May 22nd, at 11:30 a.m. U.S. Mountain time (that's 19:30 / 7:30 p.m. in e.g. Sweden). The Zoom link is here and the passcode will be: Minnesota

Professor Williams is a well-informed and engaging speaker, and I've listened with great interest to his presentations on some of these forgeries before. Come with your questions about your favorite one, or about the way a runologist evaluates real vs. fake (a problem inside Scandinavia, too!), or other rune matters.

All the best for now, and thank you for the continued gift of your support,

Jackson Crawford

P.S. My Patreon messages don't work. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.

The Kensington Runestone: Expert Analysis

Remember when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969 and said "LMAO this is tight"? Right, that language is off by about 50 years. The language of Minnesota's Kensington Runestone is off by about 600, explains Old Norse specialist Dr. Jackson Crawford of the University of Colorado.
