The Lord’s Prayer has been discovered in the Canadian wilderness, inscribed in old Swedish runes.
The 255 symbols, which were found in 2018 close to Wawa, Ontario, had puzzled scholars until archaeologist Ryan Primrose, in collaboration with Nordic language specialists, verified that the inscription was the Lord’s Prayer in Swedish.
According to Express, the prayer, which is extremely well-known to Christians everywhere, was engraved within a three-by-four-foot piece of stone.
“This is definitely one of the most unexpected discoveries I have ever made in my career,” Primrose stated.
The location is probably an outdoor house of worship that was established around 200 years ago when the Hudson’s Bay Company hired Swedish laborers to man outlying trading sites.
Nearby etchings, such as a boat encircled by sixteen individuals, imply that the statement was etched by a Scandinavian community as a symbol of their identity and beliefs.
According to Henrik Williams, a specialist in runes from Sweden’s Uppsala University, “Any runic inscription is rare.” You wonder why someone would put so much work into this specific text.
