	Runes - an introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Sometimes when a stone was buried alongside a person, a palindromic word (spelling the same forward as backward) was written on it, for instance, the sequence 'sueus'.
		Rune stones are free-standing stones – often natural boulders – marking the grave of a dead person, and inscribed with runes to commemorate the works and relationships (wife, sister, nephew), or one who had died from their homeland.
		Most of these memorial stones stick to a formula whereby the one erecting the stone comes first followed by the one remembered, so, for example, 'King Sven erected this monument in memory of Asser', or 'Bjorn carved this stone so that memory of his friend Thore wouldn't be forgotten'.

		This is the earliest known inscription found on a slab of stone on a grave at Kylver in Gotland, Sweden.
		Their point is that one very early inscription is far outweighed by several hundred later renderings, suggesting that the carver of the Kylver stone made a boo-boo.

	Welcome to Gotland
		There's a lot of those stones in our churches, and it would be perfectly all right to ask, "How come?" Well, you see, our ancestors built the churches on old places where they had meetings, graveyard and so on.
		The most famous church for runor is the church of Lye, because there not only can one find runor on stones in the floor but also runor made by people visiting the church (graffiti kind of).
		A closer look on the signs to the right of this stone is quite amazing, because it's a palindrome and it says Sueus.

		There is another theory which holds that the runes evolved from the Hallristningar rock pictographs carved during the later part of the Stone Age or early Bronze Age in Europe.
		They are hardly mentioned at all in the contemporary literature, though, eventhough there are thousands of them, so one has to assume that the old scandinavians wrote quite a lot of poems and letters on wood.
		The symbols were carved in the latter part of the Stone Age or early Bronze Age and have been discovered in parts of northern Italy, Austria, and southern Germany.
