…and the real rune stone
Located in Jelling, Denmark,
erected by King Harald “Blåtand”
in memory of his parents.
The stone has three sides – one side
showing a picture of Christ.
This could be the “original” colors of the stone.
Inscription:
“auk tani karthi kristna” (and made the Danes Christians)
Inscription:
"Harald king executes these sepulchral monuments after Gorm, his father and Thyra, his mother. The Harald who won the whole of Denmark and Norway and turned the Danes to Christianity."
Btw: Blåtand means “of dark complexion”
(not having a blue tooth…)
