Consequently, what culture are runes from?

Runes were developed around the birth of Christ, probably in Scandinavia. By the year 500 they were being used by Germanic peoples from the Black Sea in the south to Norway and England in the north. Initially, there were 24 runes in the alphabet. Also, how old are rune stones? The region's tradition of carving inscriptions into raised stones as a memorial began as early as the 4th century, but the vast majority of runestones still standing date from the 9th and 10th centuries, the latter years of the Viking Age.

What is the difference between Younger Futhark and Elder Futhark?

Elder Futhark had 24 letters while Younger Futhark, developed at the beginning of the Viking Age, had only 16 letters. The Vikings did not write on paper, but carved them into stone, wood or iron. The hard materials made it difficult to make round edges, so the runes are more angular than our letters.
