Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book deciphers previously indecipherable ancient runes found on the walls of Maes Howe, a remarkable Neolithic chambered cairn on Orkney. Built around 3000 BC, Maes Howe's purpose has remained a mystery until now. Runologist George Petrie's innovative use of 3D scanning techniques… allowed for the creation of detailed digital models of the runic inscriptions, which were then expertly interpreted by three leading runologists â" Professors Stephens, Munch, and Rafn. Their translations reveal a wealth of fascinating insights into the beliefs and personalities of Maes Howeâs ancient visitors. Amidst the jumble of personal names, enigmatic symbols, and cryptic messages, the inscriptions hint at the cairnâs use as a sorcery hall, its potential as a burial ground for a female Viking leader named Lodbrok, and its use by Christian crusaders as a place of retreat. This book painstakingly brings together all of the latest research and expertise to present a comprehensive understanding of Maes Howeâs enigmatic past, as well as the captivating process of deciphering its previously impenetrable runic script. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
