What is Elder Futhark?

Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the runic alphabet, used by Germanic peoples from the 2nd to 8th century. The name comes from the first six runes: ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ (F-U-Th-A-R-K). These are the runes you see in Vikings, God of War, and Norse mythology.

Are these real historical runes?
