March 8, 2023 / 2:17 PMScandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.
"It's one of the best executed runic inscriptions that I have ever seen," Imer said. Runes are symbols that early tribes in northern Europe used to communicate in writing. Krister Vasshus, an ancient language specialist, said that because runic inscriptions are rare,"every runic inscription vital to how we understand the past."
"Not only has the structure of the language evolved tremendously since the 400th century, but many words have also gone out of use," Vasshus said."Typically we find short and very similar rune inscriptions, but this time the text is long and consists almost exclusively of new words."
