Isn't "peer reviewing" wonderful?
Looks like she fixed their little red wagons for them, though. Good on her.
“peer review” ping
It'll blow your hair back.
From our good friends @ The Daily Mail, with the REAL news...
They burnt her notes, and then the follow-up researchers publish her antithesis, not her thesis. And now the spin to protect what really is going on:
Why is the fact that bankers already knew that there was land proof that the land was discovered by the British, when the known previous explorer who supposedly didn’t “get” it was Italian, sailing for Spain? Why would an Anglo culture cover up the discovery by one Brit, so as to protect the status of another Brit?
The fact is that the Catholic Church knew very well that there was a New World. They had maintained a diocese of Greenland for centuries in North America, interrupted only by the plague. And the same founders of the diocese of Greenland were all over exactly where Cabot landed.
The catch is that the Church’s knowledge of Greenland was inspecific; the knowledge of Vinland known only to Icelanders and Scandinavians on either side of England, and only through Sagas, which came to be associated with paganism, and were not translated into Latin.
(For some clarity, the sagas were Christian works written in the old Norse language that became associated with Pagans. They frequently extolled “Christian” virtues of pagan forefathers, which were seen by many outside Scandinavia as extolling pagans.)
