Have the Oak Island guys been notified? Vikings are about the only people they have not had conjecture about.
A friend had that happen once when he got careless. Cute puppies. After that, he got his Newfy bitch spayed.

“reparations”. You owe me royalties for my ancestors discovery. You must pay me for all this gloriousness.
>>>I’ve read that Yankee was originally Jankee. Jan was Dutch for John. Kaas Dutch for cheese. The British in the colonies used as a derogatory term for the Dutch. Essentially calling them Johnny Cheese.<<<
See, that all fits with the flipped over world where curses becoming blessings:

A free-spirited people milk this kind of stuff for all its worth!
Those other folks known for cheese, and wine? The French, meaning “free man”.
The traditional Jewish saying involving mysteries of the universe is that
“When the wine goes in, the secret comes out.”
People say, “Would you like cheese with that whine?” The origins may go back waaay further back than people might suspect.
Käse in point, the Philistines and the army of Israel were at an impasse for 40 days before David arrived to shake things up. He saw a problem in need of a solution. Obviously victory wasn’t coming by way of business as usual.
What was that commander doing? He must have been lamenting his predicament, wringing his hands you have to figure.
Anyway, just providing a little backdrop to David being dispatched to the scene:
1 Samuel 17
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18 ***And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand***, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
;)
That’s what “Jesse” instructed his son David. The captain needed a lot of cheese to go with his whine.
More “cheesy” puns. Nobody gets out alive without having fun.
This is going to be good. The Master has a plan that’s going to come flying out of left field. It will serve to destroy the wisdom of the wise.

Who was 9300 year old Kennewick man?
Actually, there were precious few working firearms along with the early conquistadors. The Spanish military was still very much in the crossbow era.
The biggest advantage enjoyed by Cortez was to land among tribes with a bitter hatred for the Aztecs.
Thanks so much for posting this!
PING to a Friend!
Is she singing? Because it’s not over until...
:)
I thought so...
Of course she could be eating it, too.

I’ve never heard of that book, but I love history. I’ll have to see about reading that one.
“What a disgrace that whole system is. We are the same, we should all be out learning, making income, providing and being good members of society.”
When I was a boy, there was a lot of that in Oklahoma. Many Indians worked on the military bases or owned small businesses, and their kids went to school with the rest of us.
Wonder what happened.
Look up “The Landing”(United States of Vinland) by Colin Taber
Not a bad read iirc. Not great either.
No matter how far they may have gone, it will be fought tooth and nail because it ruins the current narrative.

It is really an archaeology book, and delves into flint knapping techniques and styles in detail. So, if that sort of thing is not of interest, be forewarned...
My theory is that Europeans have been fishing the Grand Banks for a very long time. A good strategy for long range fishing expeditions might have been to stage the return voyage from New Foundland to repair the clinker hulls and dry/salt the catch prior to the long voyage home.
The Vikings were an infantry force. Don’t think that they were transporting war horses on those longships in the pre-Christian era. That probably had to wait for the cogs and Spanish Caravelle.
