Sweden's Viking Age: The Gotland Picture Stones

6 min•3 maj 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the mysterious picture stones of Gotland—massive carved monuments that offer a unique window into Viking Age mythology, society, and trade. They discuss the famous Tjängvide stone, the story of Thor's fishing trip, and the Gotlandic law that preserved these artifacts. They also touch on the island's role as a Baltic trading hub and the possible influence of Eastern cultures. Along the way, they wonder about the decline of the picture stone tradition with the coming of Christianity.
