I believe I have found the possible grave sights of the 10 men listed on the Kensington rune stone. No joke; I have kept my find to myself for several years. There seems to be a lot of interest in this subject, right? I have short attitude with putting my discovery to light because this new evidence could be the proof being sought to validate the Kensington stone and its story. However, I will not release the sight location until I’m guaranteed credit for the discovery. This evidence includes mooring stone holes, grave sights, and what appears to be a petrified camel hoof. So far, my attempt to communicate this historic find has gotten nowhere. I am frustrated that I have found what historians have been looking for for a 100 years, and yet they seem happy staying with the myth rather than seeking proof of the truth.
[Editor's Note: Local DP Bo Hakala recently worked on a rune stone documentary that has been airing on the History Channel over the past few months. See the trailer here.]

Dear EyeSee —
First, the word is “sites,” not “sights” — wouldn’t want repeated misspellings to tarnish that moment when you receive all the “credit” for your discovery. Second, are you suggesting that 14th century Scandinavian explorers used _camels_ to reach this area? They’re not native to Europe or North America, fyi. Finally, you do know that the stone is a fake, right?

Am I going to need to send money to a Nigerian prince in order to learn this fascinating secret?

Ish. You can keep your petrified cameltoe, Iowa.

Hi — I produced the Holy Grail in America documentary for the History Channel. I would love to know where this is and what is the proof. Do you have skeletons? Contact me through the Committee Films website and I’ll find someone to apply some science to this.

EyeSee,
What Maria hasn’t mentioned is that she’s also producing another documentary for the History Channel concerning, as it happens, the Kensington Rune Stone; see here: http://bit.ly/fEJ2q and here: http://bit.ly/1QAXb4. Careful! Be sure to get your “guaranteed credit” in writing before disclosing the secret spot….

I want pictures of the camel hoof.

Re: Petrified camel hoof.
What’s to say it wasn’t bison or something similar native to this continent?

Great, just when I thought I had found a nice, obscure topic for my masters thesis in history discussing Scandinavian immigrant ethnic pride in the creation of the runestone as a tourist attraction, somebody has to come along and complicate my argument! Seriously, when did this become so popular? Well, at least I’ll have plenty of primary sources…

@Spoonbridge: It’s been “popular” since I was a wee-wee lad.

Another in a long line of historic mysteries solved in MNspeak posts.
PS – They’re buried near the Cardiff giant.

Interesting that the camel hoof petrified so quickly. Permineralization seems like a very long term process. However, the Institute for Creation Research does say that if you want to speed it up so it fits within the last few thousand years, in order to be Biblically correct, you can immerse it in a hot spring (to force silification) or bury it in volcanic ash for a while (http://www.icr.org/article/how-long-does-it-take-for-wood-petrify/). Making an assumption that there’s at least a small amount of validity to what the ICR is saying (though not the general idea that all petrified wood is only several thousand years old or made commercially), does the research include defining which Iowegian hot springs/volcanic activity the camel was trapped in after being involved in this Kensington affair?

The important thing is proving or disproving my find, not if I’m qualified to win a spelling bee. also the petrified hoof was an improper choice of words, it seems to be a fossil of a three toed animal possibly of a camel. As far as the cracks about credit due,if my discovery turns out to be authentic why shouldnt I get the credit, this started from my finding a rock with a strange hole in it, with out any prior knowledge of the kensington stone, I believe that my theory deserves serious investigation.
