There's a 17th-century "Rune Stone" in a Swedish village that has been a Viking mystery for centuries - Apparently.
In 2008, a team of archaeologists excavated the Södra Sandby Church in Sweden and discovered a 13th-century stone with an inscription that matched an ancient Viking poem. But what's remarkable is that the stone was actually buried in 1173, and its original location was lost to history. Despite being hidden for over 800 years, the stone's intricate runes were still legible, allowing linguists to decipher its meaning and shed new light on Viking culture.
