You have to take a lot into account of why the stone was made in the first place. A church was build right next to it. King Gorms body was moved from his tumolus and under the church floor. A second mound was raised to hide paganism and the shipsetting (stones set like the outline of af ship was removed to hide the pagan history. All this done by Harald Bluetooth. And why? Well the emperor Otto of Holy Roman/German empire was just looking for an excuse to indvade Denmark. And if the danes were not christians, he would have an excuse. So the stone was a message to Otto: "nothing to see here, move along. We are alle christians". (Sorry for my bad english)

Dear Waldemar, You did a program once about religion / Jesus where you traveled from Jerusalem to Waco Texas, visited the Sixteen Chapel etc. is that an episode of The Dark Ages or is it a separate program ?

[@zczfilms]

+Martin Merstrand Hello Martin, that was actually a different programme made a few years ago called The Michelangelo Code: Lost Secrets of the Sistine Chapel.

[@merstrand1]

Now I remember - I promised my 13 year old that i would find it, as I saw it as a very neutral but exciting approach to religion - Thank you so much!!!! Greetings From Denmark!

[@andrewclayton4181]

Harold Bluetooth of Norway was father of Sweyn Forkbeard and grandfather of Caute the great. Both sat as kings of England in the early 11th.c. Sweyn''s wives were Gunhilde then Sigrid the Haughty. Those viking names are so colourful, it's a shame they have faded from everyday use.

[@madspetersen1708]

Harold was primarily king of Denmark and parts of Norway.

Dark ages? The culture of the Vikings was strong and prosperous. The way they organized themselves left their mark on all the Nordic countries and GB, which the Vikings occupied for more than 200 years.

[@ksprattspratt4153]

So Jesus was a brown man with a afro.

[@buzzyfalls]

The Vikings found these and moved in, these are likely much older. Haplogroup X2 are the Survivors of Atlantis, same mounds stones and alignments as the great pyramid. Haplogroup X is also found around the Egyptian pyramids. They even found block Hebrew on a stone in North America in an official Smithsonian dig in the 1800’s. www.asc.ohio-state.edu/mcculloch.2/arch/batcrk.html

bro tf are you on about?

[@MrGrunge88]

Rune stones were not "found", they were commissioned by those wealthy enough to afford them. They're monuments and memorials to the kings, family members, and gods of the Scandinavian peoples. Harald Bluetooth was a real person who existed in the 10th century, not an "Atlantean". For the record J. Huston McCulloh is an economics professor, not an archeologist or an anthropologist, and the page you linked is not endorsed by OSU, he's just hosting it on their servers. The Bat Creek Stone is a known hoax - The Smithsonian Department of Anthropology literally keeps it in a collection of famous fradulent artifacts.

christianitt was never accepted in the Europe but ok.
