The Elder Futhark is the oldest known runic alphabet, used by Germanic peoples from the 2nd to 8th centuries. It consists of 24 runes, often arranged in three groups called ættir. These runes were inscribed on jewelry, weapons, tools, and runestones. Over time, the Elder Futhark evolved into the Younger Futhark in Scandinavia and the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc in England.
