Oldest Odin Inscription Discovered in Danish GoldThe all-father a divine patron of rulers, and also of outlaws.
Script researchers have identified the inscription featuring Odin's name on a gold bracteate. The text includes the phrase “He is Odin's man” and refers to a portrait of an unknown king or notable figure who might have had the nickname “Jaga” or “Jagaz.”
This suggests that the gods of Norse mythology were recognized as early as the 4th century, a full 150 years earlier than previously thought.
Vasshus adds, “We’ve found proof in black and white, and it’s a huge discovery. I’m ecstatic. Such inscriptions are extremely rare, appearing perhaps once every 50 years, and this one has turned out to be of world historical significance.”
Hail Odin!
