Den er så dejlig at se på :)

Jeg har været oppe ved den mange gange, den er smukt lavet.

I work at the museum where this stone is displayed...Kulturhistorisk Museum, Randers. Trust me when I say, it looks EXACTLY that way in real life or even better. The people who achieved this for the museum deserve -all- the credit they can get. It's a remarkable thing!

これはすばらしい！

日本にも巡回展しにこないかな･･･

Neat.

By Thor, this is amazing! I want a runestone when I die.

only if all museums were like this....

[ZombieDUG]

This simply spectacular. I wish more exhibits in the States would have this level of interactivity. It really gives you a connection to an other wise inanimate artifact. Great work.

It says "Åne erected this stone for his son Eskil, who found death with Thore in Øresund".

Thanks :)

Can anyone give an english translation of the runes?

I assume it's something like "In memory of.."

[SkallagrimStoneBiter]

The Runic transcription would be: "oni : risþ : stin : þansi : aft : o¶skl : sun : sin : ias : tauþr ¶ uarþ : maþ : þuri : i : ura:¶:suti :"

The English Translation would be: "Áni raised this stone in memory of Áskell, his son, who died with Þórir in The Sound."

"The sound" in question being specifically Øresund, Sweden, as mentioned by the museum in the video...
