Kensington Runestone

Hey all,

So, I'm watching the History Channel tonight, and I catch this show about the Knights Templar in the United States of America. Supposedly, they became vikings and journeyed over with them to North America. There are many myths about the Knights Templar including the discovery of the Holy Grail among many others. However, this show proposed that they helped write the message inscribed on the Kensington Runestone which explains the contradictions in the writings. Now, I am no expert on this matter, but this theory seems out there. However, the rune stone is an interesting piece of work. It claims that vikings visited the area where the stone was found in West Central Minnesota. A group of Swedes and Norweignans visited the area where 10 were killed or died from some other cause after the rest of the group went fishing. This happened in 1362, according to the stone. The stone was then found by a Swedish farmer in 1898, but it was quickly declared a forgery. I want to say that this isn't the case, but most of the evidence indicates that it is a forgery. Still, I want to see it (it's only an hour from where I'm currently living). It resides in Kensingston, Minnesota. Now, some evidence is inconclusive. The writing is still hotly debated, and carbon dating suggests that the stone is older (which doesn't mean much). If there were significant evidence to support its validity, I would be ecstatic.
