If it was not an invaluable historic artifact, it would be fun to send a guy to break it and see what happens (probably nothing though)
7th century: "I, master of the runes(?) conceal here runes of power. Incessantly (plagued by) maleficence,(doomed to) insidious death (is) he who breaks this (monument)."

where is this? doesn’t look like any runestone i’ve ever seen. there should be remnants of a border visible at the bottom.

huh, the interpretation of the ur-nordic listed on the swedish wiki is basically “if you ruin my rock you are a beta male”

Yeah, people in the VII-th century were so stupid that the writer might be not trolling but sincerely believing in the bullshit he wrote. Barbaric times…

The translation is not very accurate. It should be read something like this:
be me rune master
concealing runes of power
Chad comes and breaks the monument
plagueOfMaleficence.jpg
insidiousDeath.exe
lmao why are Chads like this?

When you try to lie to IT support.
“Are you sure you didn’t download and run InsidiousDeath.exe?”

They weren’t stupid they just didn’t know any better. There’s a difference, and it’s an important one in these troubled times.

So many ancient writings are shitposts though. This could very well just be OOP trolling the kind of people who would be scared of such a message, or even making a joke we no longer have the references for.

Some Roman general “Look, there’s no such GODDAMN THING AS RUNE STONES. Now go take that fucking Druid village or I will give you something to be scared about.”
