Ping.
well yer all pussbags now, so who cares?
prove mice can swim
We the Viking are first in everything. Deal with it, suckas!
There once was a lady from the Azores
Who’s body was covered with syphilis sores
The dogs in the street
Adored the green meat
That hung through the holes in her drawers.
Anyjaun else notice the the Azores almost never comes up in conversation?
Historically, Portugal used to be a very powerful country.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, they were important in exploring and mapping a great deal of The New World.
They used to be the richest country on the globe.
Now look at them.
Another discovery by the Vikings that WE had to discover hundreds of years later.
It ain’t a discovery if you don’t tell anybody or are unaware that it’s something new worth sharing.
A discovery is rather useless if you’re the only one who knows of it and it dies with you.
Impossible! Viking were scaredy cats. They would only venture into water that wasn’t over their heads. And they were fat, stupid, and dirty. And, and, they were WHITE!
I didn’t know that Portugal had a football team.
A Viking mouse?
Probably being chased by one of those Viking Kittens!
This makes me laugh.
So, they were THERE FIRST.
IF THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT...WHO CARES???
If I find a diamond on the street and I walk away, what good is the diamond or anything else.
If you discover continents, or countries, or states or cities and you do NOTHING about it.’
SEEMS TO ME YOU ARE PRETTY STUPID.
Da, but pippls from Mother Rusha first find Norway, Vikings Russians!
The warrior Sea Peoples sailed and fought at least 2,000 years before the Vikings.
And likely some other group before them…
Fictionalized events in the TV series notwithstanding, there is no evidence of a compass in Europe until the 12th Century, nor any evidence that the Vikings might have had some sort of hillbilly substitute, nor of any other blue water sailing technology.
However, they did have a lot of brass, and they managed to find a lot of stuff by accident. The Azores are nearly the same distance from the coast of Portugal as Iceland is from the coast of Norway, and there’s no question but that they sailed to Iceland, which settles the question of whether they could sailed as far as the Azores in an open boat.
Maybe, but they sure didn't beat the Cowboys.
