Around another you may find curious tombstones in a unique setup. Some gravestones have runes on them as well. I&#8217;m not sure if they are Viking, Anglo-Saxon, or, more likely, Younger Futhark or Rok.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/img_4624trim.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/img_4624trim.jpg\" alt=\"Assistens Kirkeg\u00e5rd\" width=800><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The only thing that disappointed was the graffiti. Niels Bohr\u2019s tombstone is a mess on the backside (not pictured). You can see what Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s currently looks like below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/img_4632trim.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/img_4632trim.jpg\" alt=\"Hans Christian Andersen\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The graffiti relates to The People&#8217;s House Copenhagen located at Jagtvej 69.
