A secret code that remained unsolved for 1200 years has finally been cracked – and its reveals a dark prophecy that is already coming true.
In the process, they claim to have uncovered what may be an ominous prophecy.Futharc: International Journal of Runic StudiesA graphic showing the order the Old Norse runes on the Rökstenen are read. Picture: The Rök Runestone and the End of the World, Holmberg et al, Göteborgs universitet.Like other attempts to solve the Rökstenen code, they had a few clues to start with.
“Before the Rök Runestone was erected, a number of events occurred which must have seemed extremely ominousm,”“A powerful solar storm coloured the sky in dramatic shades of red, crop yields suffered from an extremely cold summer and later, a solar eclipse occurred just after sunrise. Even one of these events would have been enough to raise fears of another Fimbulwinter.”
“They were the leaders of the cult that held together the fragile balance between light and darkness. And finally, at Ragnarök, they would fight alongside Odin in the final battle for the light,” says history professor and study co-author Olof Sundqvist. The study finds several aspects of these enigmatic inscriptions have parallels with other Old Norse texts. Not the famous tales of heroes and kings. But, rather, texts that grapple with the big questions of existence and the will of the gods.The researchers say they now believe the Rök stone runes refer to a titanic struggle with the weather.
But, like the mysterious quatrains of Nostradamus, the inscriptions remain purposefully vague, poetic - and confusing.
