Great discovery

I love this stuff.....maybe someday the true discoverers of America will get their due for that. Unless of course the Chinese are proven to have gotten here first.

Regardless, the Viking history is one of the most interesting histories to me. Great stuff.

Weren't the natives there/here all along anyways??

Actually, IIRC, I remember seeing a film in elementary school talking about how natives could be decended from the chinese or mongolians.

That's a great big can of worms calf!

THere was that whole landbridge theory, but there's a new theory that suggests that Chinese sailors landed on the West Coast of NA and mixed with native tribes creating that Chinese/Mongol link.

All very interesting stuff.

I think so. Maybe we can begin referring to the fascist Bush regime as the neo-Vikings.
