Viking suvs and coal fired power stations made the climate warmer too
Did they think that by jumping around and using both “CE” and “AD” that I wouldn’t register a complaint on FR?
Once they hit Greenland they were in North America
Saint Brendan and his Irish monks beat them by about five hundred years.
There were probably many such explorations that never went anywhere that we do not know about. The Vikings discovery did not go anywhere and does not lessen Columbus’ impact.
Columbus was not even aware of the Vikings’ work and independently discovered America. Columbus’ work resulted in significant colonization and interactions between separate regions of the world and ultimately ... the birth of a new country.
The author is an idiot. Native Americans of both North and South America have been there for at least 40,000 years, if not nearly 100,000 years.
.
DNA research has shown that many natives of Iceland have around 2 % DNA from Native Americans - showing a connection between them
This might explain why/how some of us have African DNA identified down to 1%. My African DNA is 3 to 6%.
Yet, I/we have many standard Genealogy paper documentations with so called Native Americans, usually a member of one of the civilized tribes with zero/no Indian DNA.
These ancestors often had documented births, weddings, birth of children, even military service and death certificates again without any documented Native American DNA.
Below is one of many of my possible Native American ancestors, my 6th Great Grandmother: Yet, I supposedly have no American Indian DNA in my total DNA package.
Ani GaTage Wi ‘Woman of Deer Clan’ Cherokee Cherokee Woman
1690–1730
BIRTH 1690 • Cherokee, Washington County, Tennessee, Colonial United States of America
DEATH 1730 • Cherokee (Washington County), Washington County, Tenn, Colonial Americaessee, USA
She is listed as my 6th great-grandmother but there is supposedly no DNA to prove it.
I have over 50 supposedly Native Americans like Ani GaTage Wi ‘Woman of Deer Clan’ Cherokee Cherokee Woman with standard genealogy records and yet no DNA to back up that documentation.
I just want to know, when the Vikings played Green Bay 1000 years ago, who won? :-)
When do the Vikings get their first casino?
Happy Leif Erikson Day....Hinga Dinga Durgen!
Those were my people - we were here first - send reparations
The dating of the tree rings and linking them to the solar storm visible in the “old world” is interesting.
The same thing was done by geologists in Washington state. There were dead, submerged forests (stumps now) that had slid into the ocean due to landslides. When they did the tree ring studies they discovered that all of the landslides (all along the coast) happened the same year, so they figured it must have been a huge earthquake.
They looked at the historical records of Japan for tsunamis, and ended up with the exact day, and an estimated hour that the quake happened. (Jan. 1, 1700 or something like that)
This was “only” back in the 1980’s or so that they discovered it, and hence the recent preparations now in getting ready for “the big one” with marking tsunami routes, designs of new buildings, etc.
They made it to Minnesota.
They still have ancient relics called the Vikings there.
