How long were we told that the Norse never made it to North America? Anything that indicated otherwise was “fake” - until, that is, it couldn’t be denied any longer. We’re supposed to believe that every single indigenous human being in the western hemisphere prior to 1492 (now 1000-1100 a.d.) walked across the Bering land bridge? That people who canoed or sailed hundreds or thousands of miles in the Pacific, around Africa, or from Northern Europe to South Asia could never have made it to North America? Please!
Absolutely!
Like the Roman ship found off the coast of Brazil, or the Egyption carvings in the rocks of Australia, or the objects in coal. Current popular science is based on a narrative that relies on a dumbed-down and ignorant public that has blind faith in the guardians of truth in their ivory towers.
Or the old wooden sailing ship adrift in the Arctic that is filled with ghosts and gold.
