Jelling stones are a pair of large runestones located in the small town of Jelling, Denmark. These stones are considered to be one of the most important cultural and historical landmarks in the country, and they are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Jelling stones are made of granite and are intricately carved with runic inscriptions and images. The larger of the two stones, known as the "North Stone," stands over six meters tall and is decorated with images of animals and a large cross. The smaller stone, known as the "South Stone," is just over three meters tall and is inscribed with a message that commemorates the life of King Gorm the Old, who is believed to have been buried in a nearby mound.
The Jelling stones are believed to have been erected in the 10th century by King Harald Bluetooth, who was the son of King Gorm the Old. The stones were likely intended to mark the site of a royal burial ground and to serve as a symbol of the power and authority of the Danish monarchy.
Today, the Jelling stones are a popular tourist attraction and a source of national pride for the people of Denmark. Visitors can explore the surrounding park and museum, which offer a wealth of information about the history and significance of the stones. The Jelling stones are also an important site for scholars and researchers who are interested in the history of the Viking Age and the development of Scandinavian culture.
