The Gök Runestone is, beside the nearby Ramsund carving, one of seven Swedish runestones that are the earliest extant representation of the legend of Sigurd who appears in the Iceland Völsunga saga and the German Nibelungenlied as well as in Richard Wagner's operas.
The text is however not interpreted and it appears to be intentionally challenging.
The runes transliterated into Latin characters:
