Sørup runestone, Norse runestone in Svendborg Municipality, Denmark.
The granite stone measures 2.14 meters in height, 75 centimeters in width, and contains runic inscriptions across three lines on different sides.
First documented in 1589, the stone was moved to Copenhagen in 1816 and later transferred to the National Museum of Denmark in 1876.
The stone features carved decorations including a cross and an animal figure that resembles a lion, along with approximately 50 runic characters.
Visitors can examine this archaeological artifact at the National Museum of Denmark, which maintains extensive collections of Norse objects.
The inscription remains untranslated, with researchers debating whether it represents a cipher, contains Basque text, or serves as a non-lexical creation.
