A thousand years after the Vikings braved the icy seas from Greenland to the New World in search of timber and plunder, satellite technology has found intriguing evidence of a long-elusive prize in archaeology — a second Norse settlement in North America, further south than ever known.

Re: "Now, my personal theory is based on the fact that the Aztecs god, Quetzalcoatl, was a white, blond man who came from the East to their shores."

All these years I’ve thought the lyrics were “where the harsh winds blow”, your pic made me look them up and learn that I was wrong all along.

:’) And the Vikings weren’t even the first to do that, by a long shot.

Here it is...

That, or one like it, is my somewhat informed guess.

IIRC, a global cooling is part of what made the Dark Ages dark.

NY State archaeologists saw Viking timbers discovered by a farmer north of Albany, NY but they are doing a cover-up.
There are several more sites 40 miles north of that one which are under a cover-up also. They excavated an “aboriginal” site only 1/4 from my farm here in 2008 and found a stone wall 2000 feet long that is 10,000 years old and did a cover-up on it too. But I took a pic of it.

Remember that most Indian tribes were pushed here when the Steppe people of Central Asia expanded. Think of the Mongol hordes or the Scithians.

They could fight among themselves and often did. Not sure when the Iroquois Nation was founded but one of the reason was that the wars devastated the population.

The Viking may have had an advantage in war but a great Indian general could have defeated them, if the Indians had united.

If Jesse Watters were to ask 100 people at random if they knew where Newfoundland is, he'd be lucky to find 10 who did know.

If they really want to capture the public's attention they need to locate the grave of Hagar the Horrible.

Sarah Parcak is doing great work and saving years of hit or miss excavating. Thank you, Sarah!

Interesting.....I didn’t know that. Thanks for the link!

Isn’t that the Jawamobile from Star Wars?

[MinorityRepublican]

Quetzalcoatl was a Viking who came to Mexico around 1000 A.D. Hernando Cortez conquered the Aztecs around 1520 A.D. So it’s plausible.

Of course, it’s worth looking into, because any title that includes “climate change” may be out of the book “The Agenda Driven Life”. ;’)

Oooh, must post, must post!
