Fåberg Stone
The Fåberg stone () is a runestone next to Fåberg Church in the village of Fåberg in the municipality of Lillehammer in Innlandet, Innlandet County, Norway. It is registered with the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage under number 58558. History In 1775, Gerhard Schøning stated that there were three monoliths at the church but he was apparently unaware of the inscription; the Fåberg stone was one of these three stones. The stone's runic inscription was first transcribed by Christian C. A. Lange, who stated in 1833 that the stone stood directly south of the church, along the road. In 1866, Sophus Bugge was at the site and studied the inscription. He realized that the upper part of the stone had been broken off and had disappeared. In 1870, the missing part was found and it was given to Antiquities Department at the Museum of Cultural History, Oslo, Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. In 1891 the two pieces were joined together, and the complete stone was set up again ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tourist Attractions In Innlandet
Tourism is travel for pleasure, and the commercial activity of providing and supporting such travel. UN Tourism defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes". Tourism can be domestic (within the traveller's own country) or international. International tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Between the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, tourism numbers declined due to a severe economic slowdown (see Great Recession) and the outbreak of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. These numbers, however, recovered until the COVID-19 pandemic put an abrupt end to the growth. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has estimated that global international tourist ...

History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...
