In those days, when you were outcast, you had little choice but to settle somewhere out of reach of those who might be able to identify you and exact vengeance. You had little to loose by striking out across the Atlantic. It's highly likely that Vikings or other Europeans had visited North America long before they tried to settle there, and plenty of tales circulated beforehand.

Born and raised in Newfoundland and loving anything to do with history I have my own copy of the Viking sagas in Englush!

Based on the sagas IMO the east side of the Northern Peninsula and going south into White Bay offers tremendous opportunity for discovery!

@@holoholopainen1627 The Lance aux Meadow’s site has been fully assessed by Norse experts, confirmed and is a now a National Historic Site. The very initial “discovery “ came about from a chance encounter with a local who knew of the peculiar “mounds”! There had been a “so called” Norse site speculated on the south coast of Newfoundland but the experts have proven it not be so and I was not surprised at all! It should not be lost that the primary purpose of the regular voyages to this part of North America was for heavy timber to build and repair their boats; much of that wood was transported back to Iceland and Norway. I have salmon fished the east side of the Northern Peninsula and the there is still tremendous amounts of heavy timber. And from my open boat travels there are many many inlets, bays and islands that would have provided very good protection from winter seas. The sagas specifically document encounters with natives in this area that eventually overwhelmed the Norse (not a lot of detail whether they were killed or captured) and knowing the overland routes in Newfoundland in this area of the country there is no doubt in my mind they were Beothuk! IMO the Norse stayed in Newfoundland for quite some time long time or at least long enough to have bred with local women. About the time that the Norse were finding their way back and forth there was a very very brief “ice age of 10 years that shut down these voyages. IMO some Norse were stranded in in this area of Newfoundland! Captain Whitbourne who sailed into Trinity Bay, NL in the 1600s specifically references in his ship’s log of seeing one boy who had blonde hair which can only be explained by interbreeding! In closing there have now been numerous discoveries of old Norse over wintering sites in the Canadian high arctic which IMO again proves that the Norse were frequent visitors!

My father was born near this site, at Tilt Cove, named after a cabin built by his mother's father George Winsor, who was not much of a carpenter. Vikings also settled in Labrador. Unfortunately, when visited by Inuits, the Vikings believed (probably incorrectly) that they were under attack and attacked first and lost. These archaeologists should be looking for copper nails. One of my grandfather's ancestors discovered copper and copper was mined near the surface during the 19th and early 20th century. Both of my father's grandfathers were copper mine captains. Copper was the preferred metal for sea-going ships because iron is more subject to corrosion.

How would a man born in 1818 have any real proof of that. I also highly doubt they would've went that far south. Maybe they made it South to modern NY but I highly doubt any further than that.

There is a small island in a Minnesota lake, where the island was deemed to be a very suitable site to build a family summer cottage. After clearing a small plot of bushes, a large rock was found in the middle of the bushes. Thinking the rock could be incorporated into the new landscaping, it was pulled/dragged then flipped on its side. Doing so exposed a series of etched carvings on the rock which were washed and brushed to more clearly see those markings......The markings were "transcribed" using soft pencil on paper covering the markings creating a very clear copy of them. The markings were also photographed. The shadow "etchings" created by the pencil shading of the markings onto paper and the photographs were sent to a University in New England which had a specialist in early writing including Norse "Runes" the type of writing used by the Norse to record information on rock. A preliminary analysis revealed that the series of etched letters on the Minnesota island rock DID indeed appear to be in an ancient "rune" style.

However Columbus was not carrying maps to the New World, Europeans didn't even know the New World existed and this is why Native Americans were called "Indians" because Columbus thought he had circumnavigated the globe and landed in India. Regarding the legitimacy of Vikings being the first to discover the New World, it seems there's a million dollars and a bit of Hollywood glitter for anyone who can convince people this is a reality.

If Greenland was called that to entice people to go there, why does everyone assume that there actually were grapes in Vinland?

Vinland most likely means land of gras, not vine. Same as eng-land. Fields of gras, pastures.

It's not hard to find a description of Vinland that has it extending as far as Virginia.

Because Leif Ericsson, the first Viking to create a settlement in Vineland, after overwintering returned to Greenland with a cargo of wood and grapes. He made enough money from this cargo that he essentially retired.

For one thing the sagas say there were. They are quite definite on this point. For another, Farley Mowat found a report by a French botanist that there were wild grape vines growing in Newfoundland in the 17th century. Don't forget the climate was warmer and the weather milder during the Medieval Warm Period than it is today.

of coiurse not aliens did it first,a nd vikings discovered brazil.

First American was the so called indians. Vikings was the first Europeans that settle with farms and had the first European baby born there. Read about the new foundland findings. When that is done understand this people that so easy went down all waterways and see the markers and stones with rune writings found several places in America. I suggest you then go to google maps satellite and see where all the rivers in the US goes....Very exciting :-)

NO THEY WERE NOT. There were Europeans here all up and down the east coast long before they got here, and in south America there were Afro-Aboriginal people. The migrant Mongols slaughtered both when they got here. Quit spreading lies and do some damned research for yourself instead of guzzling the choad if the status quo.

Dr. Parcack gives a very clear explanation of her use of radio telescopes, geology, and inductive reasoning to identify possible Vikings sites in Eastern Canada and the interviewer says, "so it got your spidey sense tingling?" She, her entire team, and the CBC deserve better than this clown of an interviewer.

She seemed to enjoy the reference. It's light humour during the conversation. He was not making fun of her.

It was not the Vikings it was the Norse travlers

Just be glad the Vikings are gone!

She strikes me as someone who doesn't want to share credit, "I'm the only one who found Vikings in the new world"

I listened to the video again and did not hear anyone state "I'm the only one who found Vikings in the new world". Who stated this in the video?

They should just get a couple of bulldozers, scrape it all down to about 25 feet and sift it. Much faster.

The fact that The National posted this video with the word "possible" in the title should demonstrate to anyone who can read that even they're not completely sold on the claim that Vikings made it to Canada.

'Possible' in the title refers to this instance. There is a proven Viking settlement in Canada, in L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. It's been known for almost 60 years.

If he "never came to America" where did he go on all those voyages? Or is it you have a narrow definition as to what "America" is?

Basque, portuguese, spanish came to Turtle Island and were welcomed by the First Nations, the vikings were run off by First Nations
