. In the 1960s, archaeologists working at L’Anse aux Meadows unearthed the ruins of eight wood-framed peat buildings built in a style common among the Norse of the Middle Ages, along with hundreds of wooden, bronze and bone artifacts. No more than 40 people are believed to have lived there, perhaps refitting the Viking long ships for voyages home.first anchored in Vinland
Efforts to reconstruct the early Viking voyages have also been dogged by hoaxes and forgeries. For almost 50 years, for example, scholars have debated the authenticity of a chart of the North American coastline southwest of Greenland that some said dated to the 15th century and which seemed to buttress the idea that Vikings were the first Europeans to reach North America. Last month, Yale University, which owns the so-called Vinland Map, announced that it is a 20th century fake.
To pinpoint the year that Vikings occupied the site, the scientists scoured the ancient settlement for wooden artifacts, hoping to find any made from trees that had grown during an unusually intense burst of cosmic radiation known to have occurred in the year 993. The barrage of charged particles, perhaps triggered by a supernova or a mammoth
These charged particle storms are so rare they make for unambiguous dating. Only one other such event, called a Miyake event, has been detected so far. That radiation burst, which seems to have hit between 774 and 775, produced the largest and most rapid rise in carbon-14 ever recorded, according to scientists.

When the Asians crossed the Bearing Sea walking?
So are white people native Americans now? Asking for a freied.
1000 years, eat that Columbus.
Look. You’re talking science. Columbus fans stick to myth, and myth powers America.
Skol
Vikings
Instead of America, Erika? 😏👍🤦♀️😎
This puts question marks over native Indian indigenous rights.
Leif Erikson died in 1020 so we know it was earlier
Following in the footsteps of the Celtic Monks (St.Brendan)?

getting around was a lot easier when the world was flat
Goodbye, Columbus!
To reach a land that was already occupied by natives. Marvelous I tell ya.
Yet. Thet still can't justify what horrible massacres they did to native Indians.
Every school kid in MN knows the Vikings predated Columbus. By a lot. Oh yeah, and they actually stepped foot on this continent.
So who slaughtered these innocent viking families roaming the free earth?
Movie Viking on Netflix latest season reveals this too when Floki was found by Ubbe accidentally in Newfound Land
This article makes it sound like Columbus actually landed in North America. He didn’t.
No shit
And that is perhaps going to change the Perception that Christopher Columbus was the one who made Europe known a New World (Continent). The Vikings thing was exceptional but they never knew it was a New Continent.
Nothing new, anyway Columbus and the spanish monarchy were the first to realize that was a new continent, and they put America on the maps.
I find the term 'crossed' interesting. Did they actually 'cross the Atlantic' or did they skirt the northern rim of the Atlantic, rounding it, as they islanded hopped?
There’s literally a part of Canada called ‘NewFoundLand’ how is this news at all?
We had heritage videos about this in Canada 30 years ago… Why is suddenly a story?
I've known about Vikings settling in North America since I was a teen in the 60s. Somehow, they keep rediscovering this.
Wikingowie to był niezwykły naród. Dla nich nie było niemożliwego. Ciekawe odkrycie.
Yeah, theirs like a dozen books on it. A few of which are on my bookshelf.
They prob walked over before land sank cuz of climate change
