Everything about The Noleby Runestone totally explained
The
Noleby Runestone,
Fyrunga Runestone or
Vg 63 is a
rune stone in
Proto-Norse which is engraved with the
Elder Futhark. It was discovered in 1894 at the farm of Stora Noleby in
Västergötland.
It was dated by
Sophus Bugge to c. 600AD, and it's notable because of its inscription
runo [...] raginakundo which means "runes of divine origin" and which also appears in the later
Sparlösa Runestone and the eddic poem
Hávamál. This is of importance for the study of
Norse mythology since it indicates that the expressions and the contents of the
Poetic Edda are indeed of pre-historic Scandinavian origin.
It is presently located in the
Swedish Museum of National Antiquities in
Stockholm.
