(CLICK to Enlarge) International
friendship in the Bronze Age.
This Norse rebus in Tifnag
script lies 14 ft. southeast-by-east of the
main sun-god figure at Peterborough, Ontario. It reads Wal wina wawa
kogha (Old Norse Val vinnr vafa
kogga = "A foreign friend waves to
the ship"). The foreign friend would be an Algonquian Indian, probably of the
Ojibwa tribe. They were trading
copper ingots from the Lake Superior mines for cloth from Scandinavian
looms. The inscription may be read,
with the same meaning, if it be considered an Anglo-Saxon dialect (Fell
1982). |
