I'm curious: are there any believers in the authenticity of the Kensington Stone among active archeologists? This is a runestone allegedly unearthed in the neighborhood of Kensington, Minnesota in 1898. The inscription says that it was left there by Scandinavian explorers, "Vikings" if you will, on an expedition in the 14th century. Although there is solid evidence for Norse settlements along the northeastern coast of the US and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, there is no OTHER evidence (aside from this stone) that they ever got anything like THAT far west. One is naturally inclined to think that such an outlier is a fraud. But I'd like to know if it is still an open question.
