The Algonquin language families of “native Americans” claim that around 940 AD they began to move south out of Alaska/NW Canada, and that they encountered and battled (often wiping out) tribes along their trek south. Also, several tribes say that their ancestors had only been in the New England region for a couple of generations when they encountered Europeans.

That’s assuming thoughts that may not be in past minds

Not far from where I live, near the town of Turley, OK there is a stone where the runes were largely worn away. What remains reads 'Here, on this island" .. leading us to ponder, when the particular hill it had been found on had been an _island_ I don't know the language it was written in, the stone is on private property, and no one is permitted to go tramping about Turley Hill looking after it these days. I first encountered the runes in the pages of Bullfinch's Norse Mythology, became acquainted with them, and made a habit of scratching them everywhere when I was a preteen .. by the time I was a teenager, I was writing in runic script, in High German .. so if you see any of that, you can know where it came from. I doubt the explorers would have such good grammar 😉

Yeah...the Vikings weren't known for sailing or traveling long distances up rivers in strange foreign lands to explore....only they were. According to the book "In Plain Sight" by Ms. Farley, the Choctaw...who got there in the 1830's said the inscription was already on the stone and old when they found it. So...unless some trapper or frontiersman was educated in runes...elder futhark....and carved it (but why) I'm going with Occam's Razor....

Yes however, most or a heck of a lot of those frontiersmen, certainly further north for the fur industry, were Scandinavians - still loads of their surnames around - they were used to that environment unlike the British and French who, really, didn’t have much of a clue what they were doing, so their trapping expertise was much needed! So they probably would have had knowledge of runes, at least those more educated in interested in such matters! I think they did settle North America more than is thought, down as far as Maine certainly but I also think there were cut off by the little ice age, as were Greenland and Iceland and the communities either mixed with the natives or were killed off by the natives... all supply lines were gone - they were cut off and small in number! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

A strong tie between the knights templars and vikings has been documented. Their persecution in the 1300's led to them fleeing to north america. Their presence in Roslyn scotland is documented, along with a trip to north america in the late 1300's. Recent archeological finds from oak island show norse presence in the 600's to 800's on oak island along with knights templars in the 1200's. The egyptian navy was deep water and manned by Libyan sailors. The presence of cocaine in the tissues of egyptian mummies indicate a south american connection. The sea level was lower back then. The grand banks used to be above water.

I can't recall the name of the program just now, but According to The Historical geologist from the History channel who did a season's worth of research on this, the Vikings DID INDEED explore the central parts of the USA and Canada. They left stones engraved with runes at the outlets of river drainage basins, claiming the lands drained by the streams. He discovered evidence that LATER, the FRENCH discovered these in the early fir trade times and, surreptitiously, initiated a campaign to find and DESTROY all of these they could so as not to "complicate" their own land claims in North America. Obviously, they missed a few of them.

Yes, I forgot to mention that one. It's the theory of author, Farley Mowat, but he based it largely on the assumption that the "Beardmore relics" (a Viking sword, axe and possible shield handle) were a genuine find in northern Ontario. However, the son of their "discoverer" later testified, in a sworn statement, that his father found the relics in the basement of a house in Port Arthur formerly occupied by a Norwegian immigrant, and that he witnessed his father plant them at the site where he later "found" them. On the other hand, there is pretty good evidence that Vikings in Greenland travelled up Greenland's west coast and among some of the islands in what is now Arctic Canada

To be fair was the dating on the Kensington Runestone in use in one place in the 14th century, Gotland. But that said, there are a lot other strikes against the stone so unless archaeologists actually find some viking artifacts in the area, we still have to see it as a hoax. As for the other stone, I don't think it is a hoax but neither is it a real viking artifact. Runes were still in use in Sweden by farmers until WW1 so I think some Swede made it just because he could, not to fool people but more as "tagging" the stone. Yeah, the Hälsinge runes was different so he clearly had some education or a reference book but I still think it was made just for fun. It isn't correct, the most modern Scandinavian runestones with the old Futhark who also had modern runes are the Rökstone from the late 9th century, but it was made by a master who didn't mix them in the same sentence or made any mistakes. He was clearly showing off, it have several secret coded messages and has far more text then even the Kensington stone. It also have the name of the person who made it, to show off that he knew both runescripts. But for a pre Columbian visit to US after the Native migrations way back, the vikings are indeed the only plausible people. For one thing we know they got to Canada and had the means to get to US as well. The Greenland vikings were also "quarantined" on Greenland so they didn't bring those 12 diseases that wiped out 90-95% of the native population during the 16th century. So I don't think we can say it is impossible they actually reached modern US but we don't have the actual evidence for that and until that actually are found, we should still think that is unlikely even if we certainly should keep looking. The only evidence we actually have is the Maine penny which is real but since part of a viking scale and a few lead weights for trade was found in Canada, it is way more likely that one was traded for furs by a viking trader in Canada and later was traded further by natives then actually dropped in situ by a viking. It is still evidence though unlike the rune stone, it is extremely unlikely that a modern Norwegian immigrant brought a 100 year old to coin just to drop it there or that it is a hoax. But it is more evidence for some trade between natives and vikings then vikings actually visiting America. There is only one other proven pre Columbian contact, between Polynesia and South America. There is actually genetic evidence for that as well as the sweet potato but there seemed to have been a single or maybe 2-3 times event. Just like the vikings, the Polynesians were isolated on islands before which stopped the spread of Euro Asian diseases. That is why the Romans and Phoenicians couldn't have visited. If they did, a lot less people would have died in the 16th century due to diseases which allowed the Spanish conquest. That would have changed world history a lot, not just the history books. I am still hoping for new archaeological viking finds in North America. We know they were in Canada so there must be more out there, just waiting to be found. US is far more unlikely, but the evidence there needs to speak for itself. Right now, besides the Main penny, there is not a single good evidence though so I am leaning towards them not visiting until new evidence prove otherwise.
