Hmmm ...
I predict that in the year 1019, North America will be a howling wilderness, thinly populated by warring savages.
And visited by Vikings, who make an attempt at a permanent settlement in what is now Newfoundland...................
Hilarious...
“I predict that in 1019, North America will be a howling wilderness, thinly populated by warring savages.”
Actually, in or about 1019, the center of North America would be occupied by the people who built Cahokia, a thriving city as large as any in Western Europe, with a trade network which extended from the Great Lakes Far down the Mississippi, East up the Ohio and West up the Missouri, with a population greater than it would be in the 15th Century, when the Europeans arrived.
No, that’s 3019.
