Anthropology

they had no written language, but it's also curious that Vikings were mentioned as possibly visiting present-day Canada thousands of years ago. Vikings ventured west and south around 900 CE give or take a hundred years so definitely not thousands of years. Any visitations thousands of years ago would have been before Vikings even existed in the Scandinavian region.

It obviously is from a much later time planted by a religious scholar/missionary. I doubt that would be difficult to figure out. The article goes on to explain that it's only a couple centuries old. I'm not sure why the writer would expand absurd ideas from the beginning except to get attention. Myth seems more interesting than facts to many people, I guess.

I do appreciate the fact that it exists, though.
