## Info and notes

* The old Norse text in the video is the Norwegian Rune Poem, in which each rune is named and described. The three runes here are ᛁ (Ís), ᚠ (Fé) and ᚾ (Nauðr), Ice, Wealth and Need, spelling out ᛁᚠᚾ, IFN. The meaning of this phrase is unknown.

* The poem in the description is the Chinese poem "Travelling Again", composed in the year 761. Interestingly, the word "temple" in the first line has been replaced with "castle", and lines 3-6 have been cut out. The original poem reads:

`I remember the temple, this route I've travelled before,`

`I recall the bridge as I cross it again.`

`It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,`

`The flowers and willows all are selfless now.`

`The field is sleek and vivid, thin mist shines,`

`On soft sand, the sunlight's colour shows it's late.`

`All the traveller's sorrow fades away,`

`What better place to rest than this?`
