  Interesting. So it’s carved in Futhark runes, which had already fallen out of use when the Vikings came to Vinland/America.

  Taken altogether, Primrose and colleagues now theorize that a Hudson’s Bay Company employee—or employees—are responsible for the runes at some point in the 1800s, when the lord’s prayer had been published in Futhark already in 1611.
