 The Norse is Younger Futhark. Can't help you with the translation or the Hindi. Good luck - seems interesting.

 It's a map to long-forgotten Nazi gold, obviously. You're the chosen one.

Are you sure Younger? Looking online it seems to much better match Elder Futhark. This is not a phrase I imagined myself saying at any point in my life, and I'm a major language nerd.

A bunch of the letters don't match Younger, but all but one letter, the angular "E" thing, match this chart of Elder: http://viking-source.com/Runes-Guide.html


Here's what I transliterated it as: OMLAK?HMIHThRAKODAIAT

I'll take your word for it - I was basing it off of a quick google search and a glance at a chart, really. Thanks for the clarification.
