Join historian Howard Burtness as he explains the secret cryptography found in the Kensington Runestone, which is currently in a museum in Alexandria, MN, and other Norse runestones. Howard covers the research of Alf Monge and Ole Landsverk. He shows how the perpetual calendar, based on the Julian calendar and the Easter Tables are critical keys for decrypting the dating of the Kensington Runestone, which was created on Sunday, April 24, 1362 by Harrek. Howard also discusses the Newport Tower in Rhode Island.
