Denmark's famous Jelling Stone — which bears the earliest mention of the modern name of the country — is revealing new clues about its creator, a millennium after it was carved. New research suggests the stone, erected around A.D. 965, also shows the immense power of a Viking queen.
The Jelling Stone has been studied for centuries, but for the new research, the team used 3D scanning technology to discover the name of the specific person who carved its runes. But it was not previously clear who carved the unsigned Jelling Stone and whether the Thyra mentioned on it was the same person as the Thyra mentioned on the other stones.
