By the timeframe we’re discussing (which I assume to be the Middle Ages, but some of this is like trying to date Lord of the Rings), Goths referred to (one of two) specific groups of “barbarian” tribes. —Jaylemurph Good point. On various levels, the authenticity of the runes has been questioned for decades. As you note, the various discrepancies lead to a rather floating timeline. Though the discrepancies are consistent with a modern individual with only partial knowledge of the purported time period. . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small group ran to North America and became the Lenape. Of course in this fools eyes, all the Central and Southeastern Algonquian were Lenape even though they spoke a dialect of Algonquian that is as far away from Lenape as Alsatian is to English. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual Tournament Posted April 22, 2019 Author #273 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Did the Vikings Stay? Vatican Files May Offer Clues In interviews and a new book, Dr. Heyerdahl and Per Lilliestrom, a Swedish map expert, claim that thousands of their hardy Norse ancestors may have prospered in the land that Leif Ericson christened ''Vinland'' in A.D. 1000. In their view, the colonists spread as far south as today's New York City, fishing, tending farm animals and cutting timber for several hundred years under the solicitous eye of the Catholic Church in Rome. https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/19/science/did-the-vikings-stay-vatican-files-may-offer-clues.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylemurph Posted April 22, 2019 #274 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thor Heyerdahl is pretty well known as a racist. I’d take anything he writes with more than a grain of salt. Piney and I have discussed him more than once. —Jaylemurph 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
