I published a whole bunch of pages about varangian runestones I’ve visited on the Varangian Biker site. Each page includes photos, a trace of the inscription and a translation. A few of them also have descriptions. I have visited more of them, but I haven’t had time to create pages for them yet.

Greek sculpture in Venice with a Swedish runic inscription.

Globalisation is nothing new.

🍁 Traditionally, the last Sunday in May is #Kyiv Day!

The exact date of the founding of #Kyiv is not known. But, historical and archaeological data show that the city is at least one and a half thousand years old. Already in the #9th century, #Kyiv was an important trading centre on the route “from the #Varangians to the #Greeks”, the capital of one of the largest European states - #Kievan_Rus

I need to do some digital archaeology to dig up my old web page about the Frösö runestone and add it to the Varangian Biker site.
