TRANSLATION
8 Swedes and 22 Norwegians on a discovery voyage from Vinland westward, we had anchored by 2
rocky islets one days voyage north from this stone. We had fished a day, after we came
home [we] found 10 men red with blood and dead. AV(E) M(ARIA) deliver from evil.
We have 10 men at sea to look after our ship 14 days voyage from this island.
Year 1362
The Stone is ostensibly a record of a 14th century expedition by Scandanvian explorers into the
North American heartland. The notion must certainly be entertained that the Stone is a hoax,
and most of the scholarly comment on the Stone has come to that conclusion. The Stone has
been declared a hoax and forgery on the basis of the style and type of its runic letters and on
the basis of the language presented. Others have argued persuasively that these objections are
both ill placed and inappropriate, and that the Stone should be given the benefit of the doubt.
We believe that to be accepted as genuine, an artifact of this type, ostensibly being of such
outrageous provenance, needs more than a benefit of the doubt. It needs a mark of clear
evidence, a signature of antiquity beyond the abilities of a modern forger. Given this, the Stone
would then have to be accepted as genuine, the linguistic and orthgraphic arguments becoming
irrelevant.

Three letters on the Stone, AVM, provide the sufficient mark of antiquity to declare the
Kensington Stone genuine. Dr. Keith Massey and his twin brother Rev. Kevin Massey have
noted that the convention of medieval abbreviation presented in these letters is beyond the
reasonable ability of even the most expert forger. The details around this Latin abbreviation
will convince even the most hardened skeptic that the Kensington Stone is the real article.

The Kensington Stone, displayed to the right, was discovered near Kensington Minnesota USA in
1898. In the nearly one hundred years since its discovery, the Stone has been the source of
on-going debate as to its authenticity. The reason is clear, the Kensington Stone presents a
Runic text which describes a Norse journey into North America in the 14th Century.
Following is a transcription and translation of the text of the Kensington Stone.
