[TheForge] Mastermyr Replicas

[roger olsen]

I think it is quite possible a Nordic Heritage Museum would give it front 
center attention.  Helping push the notion that Chris Columbus discovered 
america to the side and having some proof that their Norwegian ancestors 
walked around on this continent first.  I could see it ending up with a lot 
more honor in such a setting.

It could kinda sorta get lost in a metal museum.

just my thoughts.
