Scientists have found the world’s oldest inscription featuring the god Odin on a gold bracteate in the Vindelev hoard. This means they can date Nordic mythology to 150 years earlier than before – back to the early 5th century. The runes are the most “spectacular since the golden horns” and may help researchers understand other prehistoric runic inscriptions.
