USA: Viking Ship Discovered Near Mississippi RiverÂ|Â

That's not to far from where I live, in fact it is about 20-25 miles away. Very interesting.

grab ya a metal detector and carefully find me something to place in my razor cabinet :)

That sword was published as a find in England back in 2010 or thereabouts.
The Guardian if I remember correctly...

But anyways, Columbus was by no means the first one from these parts to arrive over there.

Edit:
Seems it was in the Daily mail:

I believe you are correct. This site was mentioned in gossers link Parks Canada - L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site . It is quite small but very interesting none the less.

I thought it was widely understood that CC was far from the first traveller to reach the shores of North American. Another example of historical inaccuracy protected by an inherent aversion to change. We just can't admit we may have been teaching our young generations the wrong information. Remember what our forefathers believed must be correct even when it's not. It's only reality when the text books change their version. Now if we could only get them to change the story of what really happened at 12 noon on September 16, 1893.

Revisionist history is, and has been quite the norm for a long time.
Until His Dying Day, Lincoln Plotted to Deport all the Black People Out of America

Quote:

"I have said that the separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation . . . . Such separation . . . must be effected by colonization" [to Liberia, Central America, anywhere]. (CW, Vol. II, p. 409).

"Let us be brought to believe it is morally right , and . . . favorable to . . . our interest, to transfer the African to his native clime . . ." (CW, Vol. II, p. 409).

"The place I am thinking about having for a colony [for the deportation of all American blacks] is in Central America. It is nearer to us than Liberia." (CW, Vol. V, pp. 373, 374).

Looks like the "great emancipator" and everyone's favorite President ( well, not everyone's ) ,Mr. Lincoln thought it was the moral thing to do.

How can you equate that with this? Besides they will never print the truth that aliens came to the Americas first and brought the Indians to populate and breed a race of warriors. Unfortunately the aliens suffered from the same blight that we do now, bureaucracy.

Pretty sure the Anishinaabe and hundreds of other tribes were here first. Smh. Unless of course you disregard hundreds of native peoples creation/history accounts and insert scientific findings that change like the seasons.
