Torslunda Runestones

The Torslunda Runestones are two ancient stone monuments located on the island of Öland, Sweden, dating back to the Viking Age, around the 9th century. They are notable for their complex runic inscriptions, which are among the earliest examples of written Old Norse. The stones reflect the Viking culture, potentially commemorating significant individuals or events. They feature carvings of figures, including warriors and ships, providing insight into the beliefs and practices of the time. The inscriptions help historians understand the language, society, and cultural values of the Norse people during this historical period.
