A 2,000-year-old rune stone found in Norway could be the oldest ever, and give a glimpse into ancient writing systems.

The writing, which is about 2,000 years old, was found in Norway.

It is covered in primitive runic writing, and archaeologists believe it dates back to between AD 1 and AD 250., according to a press release from the University of Oslo announcing the findings. The stone, uncovered near a large grave field in eastern Norway in late 2021, can teach us about the origins of this mysterious form of writing, per the release.

These etchings, seen with a overlay of the markings on the right, are thought to have perhaps been a draft of the runes."It's possible that someone has imitated, explored or played with the writing. Maybe someone was learning how to carve runes," says Professor Zilmer.The runes spell out"IDIBERUG."
