What was the original hypothesis about the authenticity of the Kensington stone?
The very first hypothesis, as put forth in 1898 by Edward Ohman (who discovered the markings on the stone), was that it was some sort of "Indian Almanac". A copy of the inscription was sent to a Minneapolis newpaper who sent it on to the Greek department of the University of Minnesota, it eventually made its way to the Scandinavian Languages dept, where Professer Breda declared it a hoax, containing English words. The stone itself went to Northwestern University where it was again considered a forgery, though the inscription itself at least 40-50 years old - possibly made by a Scandinavian traveller connected to the fur companies. The stone was sent back to the finder (Olof Ohman) in Kensington and was not revived until examind by Hjalmer Holand in 1907 who believed the stone was connected with an expedition sent to find (and keep Christian) lost Greenlanders - an expedition which was authorized by King Magnus of Sweden in 1354 and captained by Paul Knutson. Two reports were published in 1910, one by the Minnesota Historical Society and authored by the geologist Newton Winchell who said the inscription was roughly 500 years old; and the other by George Flom who considered the stone to be a fake based on linguistic evidence. It was Flom who first suggested that the finder (Ohman) might have inscribed the stone.
