About Secrets of the Viking Stone TV Show

Were Norsemen the first Europeans to explore the Minnesota-Great Lakes and surrounding area more than a century before Christopher Columbus? Some scholars and fervent theorists believe so and are ready to fortify their beliefs with proof. In an all-new Science Channel series, SECRETS OF THE VIKING STONE, actor Peter Stormare, known for his role in FARGO, and history enthusiast Elroy Balgaard set out to solve the mystery of the famed Kensington Runestone - an artifact that, if proven authentic, could rewrite the history of North America. Throughout their deeply personal, often humorous journey across the country to uncover the truth about the founding of America through meetings with scholars, skeptics and sensationalists alike, Stormare and Balgaard dive deep into the story of the Kensington Runestone and its controversial history. Discovered in 1898 by a Swedish-born resident Olof Ohman in Kensington, Minnesota, the Runestone, a large stone slab, was found under the roots of a tree with an inscription in an alphabet unknown to scholars at the time. Its discovery was published in a Swedish-language newspaper in Minneapolis, which quickly launched one of the greatest mysteries in American history. With naysayers questioning its authenticity, citing the fabricated inscription and timeline discrepancies, and supporters turning to historical evidence such as possible 14th-century Scandinavian expeditions to North America, the Kensington Runestone has divided many and has remained a source of debate among historians, experts, linguists, conspiracy theorists and scholars since its discovery. Meeting with passionate enthusiasts around the country, Stormare and Balgaard leave no stone unturned as they meet with descendants of Ohman to learn more about the family's dark history and the stone's discovery, work alongside leading archaeologists to survey new sites and unearth new evidence, and hear new ground breaking insights from top forensic geologists who have dedicated their careers to the stone.

I'm hoping for a 3rd season! I appeared in season one, episodes 3, 4 and 5, where there was significant attention given to what I call "The Norse Code-stone." At that time of exploration, I would usually pray that God would direct my steps while on the search for evidence of medieval Scandinavian visitation to Minnesota. So, yes, I consider it a miracle that the Code-stone was found. Now, I'm hoping not only for a 3rd season, but that another miracle might present itself by the State of Minnesota deciding that it would be okay for Peter Stormare to sponsor a professional dig at the site after all...as it was previously determined by the State Archaeologist and the DNR to be too prairie-sensitive to allow for a dig. I stand firm in my belief that something representing medieval Scandinavians is buried there on that lonely ridgeline, as seen on Secrets of the Viking Stone.

I would really like to see a third season and more! I find this program to be extremely interesting. I love the cast, too, as I find them to be extremely entertaining and, for some reason, very calming to watch. I watch each episode several times.

I would like to see another season of the show. Much rather watch an educational show than all the drama of “reality” shows. I have quite a bit of Swedish ancestry which could be why it interests me so much.

Chris E. says

We love the show and really hope it will return! Come on, all you history buffs with open minds, keep encouraging the network that this series is really worth it. We know the history we are taught has many voids, so let Peter and friends fill them with the evidence needed. Please bring it bring it back!!!

Kathy Presnell says

Will Secrets of the Viking Stone have a 3rd season? My family really enjoyed the first 2 seasons.

Judy says

Please please continue this saga...a great collision of history and science!
