I remember enthusing over this 2021 scientific breakthrough that confirmed the central claims of the #Vinland hypothesis, Leif Erikson, L'Anse aux Meadows (where I have stood) & those medieval & early modern entanglements of the Old Norse & what would become North America

Presumably the #Danes are going to make a prior claim to #Vinland at some point?

Map of the route of the Vikings to Vinland (Newfoundland) in North America from Greenland (Gronland).

Let us not forget that the Vikings led by Leif Erickson from #Greenland were living at l’Anse aux Meadows in #Newfoundland&Labrador in #Canada as far back as 1021. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. frametoframe.ca/in-the-foots... #Denmark #Vinland #USA

The picture shows a meme. On top, there are some old rune symbols, reading “Vinland”. Underneath, there is Latin text, reading “Vinland – The country mistakenly known as the United States of America”. Beneath this text, a political map is featuring the North American continent. The country south of Canada and north of Mexico is labelled “Vinland since ~1021 a.d.”. Its landmass has an overlay of a Viking flag that shows a black raven as a symbol of the Viking god Odin on a deep red backdrop with gold runes to the sides.

BREAKING: Denmark announces historical claim to North America 🇩🇰

Our Vikings were there in 1021 CE.
755 years before USA existed.

If we’re doing territorial grabs based on ”who was there first”... we’ll see ourselves in.

#Vinland (Wineland, red. Han)

BREAKING: Denmark politely requests North America back 🇩🇰
We were there in 1021. Brought ships, axes, bad weather tolerance and vibes.

If “first come, first claim” is the rule, Vinland certainly is ours! 😘

Did a Viking Woman Named Gudrid Really Travel to North America in 1000 A.D.? The sagas suggest she settled in Newfoundland and eventually made eight crossings of the North Atlantic Sea

Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir was an Icelandic explorer. She appears in the Saga of Erik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders. She and her husband Thorfinn Karlsefni led an expedition to Vinland where their son Snorri Thorfinnsson was born.

Was Freydís Eiríksdóttir a hero or a deranged murderess? Freydís Eiríksdóttir appears in two Icelandic sagas, once as saviour and once as villain – and despite that, she may not have even existed. Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir considers what we know (and do...

Lament for Vinland's Sailor, a poem in alliterative verse by Marcus Lindenburg Kiss me now, kill me later; / I left you on that dead dock. / With my heart heavy then, / And you in wicked wind ...

This poem by Marcus Lindenburg imitates Icelandic medieval rimur -- alliteration plus a rhyme scheme, and a LOT of kennings.

For what it is worth, I suspect that the #Vinland Sagas contain some historical memories of actual #Norse exploration in North America, but they also contain numerous tropes of the time and shouldn’t be read as historical accounts. “Where was Vinland?” is probably not the right question.

The specialty cone of the Nymph Cafe, the Sculpin Cone

A bronze statue that was installed in 2002. The piece is meant to be an interpretive one.

The sod Longhouse. It had a living quarters, crafting space, and a spot for loom weaving

Today we had a long boat ride then a drive out to #Vinland. We went to the #NymphCafe and spent some time at #lanseauxmeadows national park. The National Park was so beautiful.
