  • Goodbye Columbus

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to Ward Dossche on Thu Oct 21 19:32:33 2021
    There were already humans living in North America when the Vikings
    arrived ... nobody really discovered it.

    Just as we in Sweden still maintain the myth that "we" all came in from the south, once the Ice melted (evidence has shown for centuries that the first ones arrived from the north -- what we now call the Sami people), most evidence seems to indicate that the first people arriving to the north of the Americas came from the north west via what's now called Alaska.

    Yes, but back then, we defined "people" as "Christian people".
