Noleby Runestone

Okay kiddo, so there's this big rock called the Noleby Runestone that was found in Sweden. It has some special writing on it that's very old and it's been a mystery for a long time. People think it was made by Vikings a long time ago, like way before you were born. They drew pictures on the rock and used a special alphabet called runes to write words. Lots of grown-ups who are really, really smart have been studying this rock and trying to figure out what it says. They think it might be talking about a battle or some important event that happened a long time ago. It's like a puzzle that people are still trying to solve even though it's been around for a very long time!
