Translated it says "He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of Aaarrrrggh"

smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

So many of these quacks selling their 15-ft high pile of BS. Graham Hancock and Joe Rogan teamed up to serve their white supremacy theories to gullible ignoramuses.

they had no written language, but it's also curious that Vikings were mentioned as possibly visiting present-day Canada thousands of years ago. Vikings ventured west and south around 900 CE give or take a hundred years so definitely not thousands of years. Any visitations thousands of years ago would have been before Vikings even existed in the Scandinavian region.

It obviously is from a much later time planted by a religious scholar/missionary. I doubt that would be difficult to figure out. The article goes on to explain that it's only a couple centuries old. I'm not sure why the writer would expand absurd ideas from the beginning except to get attention. Myth seems more interesting than facts to many people, I guess.

I do appreciate the fact that it exists, though.

The full article reveals the potential timeline and that The Lord’s Prayer written in Futhark runes was actually published in 1611. This was republished in the 19th century.

Whoever did this was apparently working from a document.

Still very strange and there is no answer as to why do this.

That's the explanation for runes in extreme southern Arizona.

When one chisels into rock, tiny bits of the chisel get deposited onto the 'walls'/sides of. the cavity. The chisel may be made of bronze (copper and tin), iron, rarely another stone. This is why chisels wear out. Modern techniques can identify just a few atoms, even to recognize impurities in the bronze (lead, antimony,. .. )

Until the chisel marks are fully identified as to elemental composition, we suspect hoax. (Hoaxers never get the Cu 63/65 ratio right.)

But they have been declared a hoax. Maybe not so hoaxy?

A, CANADA—For the past seven years, archaeologist Ryan Primrose, director of the Ontario Centre for Archaeological Education, has studied mysterious symbols carved into the bedrock deep in an Ontario forest. The rock, which features 255 strange markings as well as the image of a boat, was unlike anything that had ever been found before in the region. CBC reports that he has finally solved the riddle with help from Swedish researcher Henrik Williams. The pair determined that the bizarre symbols were actually Nordic runes that spell out a 1611 version of The Lord’s Prayer in Swedish. Their research revealed that during the nineteenth century, Canada’s Hudson Bay Company sometimes hired Swedish workers to man wilderness trading posts, including the Michipicoten post, which was not too far from where the carvings were discovered. It is likely that the site was used for Swedish religious gatherings, but the researchers still don’t know exactly why someone would have created the time-consuming and labor-intensive inscription. “Anybody has to start wondering 'Why on Earth did they carve it here and why did they choose that text?' And there's no answers,” said Primrose. “
