À propos de cet audio

Did the Vikings reach the American Midwest 130 years before Columbus? In this episode of Weird Americana, we investigate the Kensington Runestone, a 200-pound slab of rock discovered by a Minnesota farmer in 1898.

Bound in the roots of an aspen tree, the stone tells a harrowing tale of a 14th-century Viking expedition that ended in a massacre. We’ll dive into the life of Olof Ohman, the man accused of carving the fake, and the cryptography experts who say the Old Norse runes are too accurate to be a prank. Is it a masterful archaeological hoax or the most important pre-Columbian artifact ever found on U.S. soil?

Take a 15-minute deep dive into the hidden history and cold-case mystery of America's favorite controversial rock.
