900 years ago the Vikings wrote love letters

A romantic message engraved on a piece of bone over 900 years ago was found in Sweden.

The 'love letter ' has the content: 'Please kiss me / brother' . The "strange characters " on the bone fragment caused many scholars to be confused.

But recently, a scientist at the University of Oslo deciphered the characters called cryptography jotunvillur , a secret language of the Runic used by Vikings in the 13th century that might have been found. in more than 80 Norwegian inscriptions mentioning the Viking Valentine's Day.

In the ancient alphabet of the Runic there are letters called runes, which were used to write German before the country accepted to switch to using the Latin alphabet.

'It's like solving a riddle,' said scholar K. Jonas Nordby, who spoke to the Norwegian electronic information site forsking.no. 'Gradually, I began to notice a sign that seemed to be the end. there is no meaning in the runes ".

According to the researchers: Everyone hopes to solve some mysterious things, Norway's extremely deep secrets will be disappointed.

Most of the 'strange characters' on the piece of decoded bone seem to have been used to study or write some sweet melody.

In many cases, the ancients wrote back letters to challenge readers today to try to explain. There are even some 'proud' documents about their coding capabilities.

A recent discovery by Mr. Nordby was published in the Journal of the Study of the Ancient Runic Language.
