In regard to the Americas, the archaeological finds in L'Anse aux Meadows in present-day Newfoundland, Canada (to which the investigators had been led partly by the 16th-century Skálholt Map show that there was a Viking settlement which, while admittedly unsuccessful and short-lived, predates by five centuries John Cabot's landing on the North American continental mainland in 1497 and Christopher Columbus's voyage to South America in 1498.

[BloodstormGMA]

Regardless of whether or not the map is genuine, it has been independently proven to general satisfaction that Greenland was settled by Vikings around 970, a settlement which lasted until the 15th century.

HAPPY LEIF ERIKSON DAY!!!!!!!

Remember, THE VIKINGS journeyed to America 500 years BEFORE Columbus. Also, Columbus and the Spanish wiped out a whole race of people. The Vikings did not!

Leif eiriksson was norwegian, he had norwegian parents but he was born in iceland.. dont forget that iceland at that time was norwegian land, and all the settlers there was vikings from norway

Leifur Eiríksson was Icelandic. He was born in Iceland and his mother, Þjóðhildur, was Icelandic, his father Eiríkur Rauði was Norwegian. Leifur would probably have considered him self as a Greenlander where he lived most of his life.

[Kidorid]

Ah, feels good to be Norwegian :)

For the "making of" portion to the movie there is a really epic song that plays, featuring a choir, does anyone know the name of that song or the artist/composer??

[Deprogramers]

Have you noticed how the Viking Ship looks strangely similar to the Loch Ness Monster?

Could it be that these Vikings had seen such creatures and then made their boats in their likeness?

[bo678se]

‘Viking’ comes from a language called ‘Old Norse’ and means ‘a pirate raid’.

JUST VISITING! THE VIKINGS WE'RE ROUTED FROM CANADA! The seaworm ate their boats like nothing in under 6 months time! the curse from the north was no match for canada's 1st nations peoples nor their lack of adaptiveness to climate change! they came to america cause their ships were sinking en mass. the vikings were cursed by the gods and they knew it! beware the kraken!
