Who were the giants? Natives? Or Vikings?
The Vinland Map has recently been proved to be a fake - is this any different?
Maybe it’s my iPad. That link works but on the left side are ads going all the way down the page over the article so I can’t read it.

Ouch. My fault, the economist is paywall. But, the other link to paper is free. Look at freepmail in a bit.
Oh good grief duplicate post. Wanted to say I got the article, thank you. The part that has the ads is over the part in another language only.
Whew!
For a moment this was going to be about Milo Rambaldi...
That was close...
I’m not convinced from this article that it wasn’t something he invented. Who was going to prove him wrong?
This is a very interesting article. Thank you. This monk, Galvaneus, was pretty industrious.
What is funny is this translator, Ghioldi, had trouble translating the text because (like me) “…rather because he had to deal with inconsistent models: there is evidence that he used some incomplete and unfinished manuscripts by Galvaneus, which were sometimes difficult to read, enriched by marginal notes and slips”.
I hope Galvaneus or Ghioldi get a laugh out of that!
Great link. Thanks.
(“beyond the Ireland there is another smaller island, where no one ever dies. People at a very old age, however, if taken off the island, die immediately).”
😳
Same with me
By the 1300’s Vikings had travelled through out Europe, no doubt spreading tales of discoveries far and wide. That some monk heard and recorded such a tale about lands far to the west is hardly astonishing. In preprinting press days, no surprise that it never went anywhere.
As for “giants,” native Americans were of stature equal to the Vikings and taller than most southern europeans.
The part with the ads is only on the Latin part. Scroll down the rest of the article is ok.
We know THAT! They landed on Oak Island.
