  4.  @torutufomoon595  what do you mean people from america? because there are people there? and if they sailed over, where is the dna connection, or archaeological evidence, or even any stories of it? when are you suggesting this happened?

  5. what scenario?

  6. it was not just losing grassland to ice which made it unsustainable when they settled in greenland which had far more dangerous waters because of its temperature they began changing by relying more on the land and that meant they had less fish oil which was what gave them vitamins, without that they ended with weaker bones and scurvy

  7.  @alecity4877  nice of you to assume where im from awkward that you where wrong though and yea. i already know yall made the white house white either way i didnt say you had never been in a war, yall just havent been in many i could see the greek boasting or the french but then you have canadians who have no real threats and only really join wars when they feel like lending a hand, of course they will be on the winning side

  12. no because words change meaning no pagan means minority religion
    2
  13. "did not raid Byzantium" uhm no, they did, hes not saying it was successful the raids totally failed but they impressed the king enough for him to form the varangian guard
    2
  14. no, the word viking is a translation of vikingr, which is a noun also, even if that does not justify its usage WORDS CHANGE MEANING

  15. so greenland is not part of the americas? ok
    2
  16.  @rebimac1619  its still in america america as in the land, not the country
    2
  17.  @rebimac1619  considering we are talking about events that take place before the united states of america where a thing i thought it would be obvious i was not referring to the thing that did not exist yet
    2
  18.  @rebimac1619  so you are saying the united states of america have existed for tens of thousands of years?
    2
  19.  @rebimac1619  "Iam native to the Americans" ok so you are a native american "my people were here tens of thousands of years before Christ was even born" so you maybe heard that clovis first was debunked, but that does not draw a genetic line to what was before, the native americans are likely still descendants from the migration that brought the clovis culture "So the Americas have always been here" YES THE LAND, I NEVER SAID THE FUCKING CONTINENT DIDNT EXIST, I SAID T H E U N I T E D S T A T E S O F A M E R I C A DID NOT EXIST "For some reason Europeans like to make it seem like this continent did not exist" you are PROJECTING arguments onto me arguments i NEVER made ".The (Mighty Olmecs ) of Central America" so you are descended form the Veracruz Culture? where do you get a genealogy that long?

  20.  @rebimac1619  "yes silly 🙃... and we have always been here since day one" we as in the united states of america, the continent of america or the native americans the united stated are only a few centuries old, the continent is much much older and the native americans have been there for around 12 thousand years, before then it was another people group which seems to have been wiped out "the Americas are mentioned in the Bible in the New Testament under might I add a different name" one cold claim whatever you are mentioning is another name for something else, maybe it was a name for greenland, or malta or whatever, becuase there is no way to prove its america "Europeans like to mix the history up to make it seem like they fund all of these different continents around the world" no, it just happens the term "discover" is relative i can "discover" a thai place downtown, does that mean im the first person there? no the norse discovered america as in to their society they did not know it existed, and then later they did "and make it seem like nobody was there when yah got there" they arent doing that "Often times the European explorers subdued and took over the original or aboriginals people of the area they where exploring ,killing them off or enslaving them and Selling the groups of people off to other countrie" yes, that happened, yet discovery is still relative and has nothing to do with the actions of europeans "The name (America and the United States) did not exist we were called by another name then an ancient name" the name (mcdonals and drive through) did not exist, they where called another time then, an ancient name... the united states could not exist if the was not states which where under a union its like saying the ussr existed 2000 years ago, it simply DID NOT "Why didn’t they stay the Iberian stayed" because of many factors relations with natives supply lines back to Scandinavia declining population in greenland due to the decline of tusk trade " ...So that lets you know point-blank there were people here before the Vikings came for a short visit .." NO ONE IS SAYING THERE WERENT why do you think im saying that, i have not said that, i have said the unification of a plurality of states called the usa was not a thing that existed 1000 years ago

  24. how did africa discover america?
    2
  25.  @torutufomoon595  so africans sailed to america?
    2
  26. i went downtown last week and discovered this quaint thai place, i couldnt remember the name but we should definitely check it out this weekend discovery is based on subjective perspective its like saying "you cant discover Jupiter if it exists materially this is detected by the the effects it has on the surrounding universe it lives withing" no, its discovered from the perspective of life "cant discover iceland if there where already artic foxes on the island" discovered from the perspective of humans "cant discover america if there where already people there" discovered from the perspective of the old world
    2
  27. "The vikings did not colonize America." so actual structures surviving in greenland and texts from 1300 AD iceland speaking of them are falsified? "Fake history and planted artifacts" despite there being long strings of sources verifying everything over longs spans of time "Of course, and they never “discovered” America. " discovery is a subjective term based on perspective, native americans never discovered copper because humans in the old world already did that some time before, right? "the Vikings were too stupid" lets see 1 bathed at least once a week (unlike christian europe bathing once a year) 2 most advanced boats of the time 3 navigation skills on par with the best before the invention of the compass 4 had writing systems of their own 5 huge trade networks which left behind a metric shit ton of physical artifacts 6 successfully fended off all of christian pagan hating europe for at least 2 centuries 7 served as the personal retinue of he largest empire of the time as the varangian guard 8 from the 11th to the 12th century rus controlled kiev was the largest and most powerful state in europe 9 created the Ulfberht swords which where the strongest swords in all of europe at the time

  28.  @brandonstonestone1795  "Europe was formed im a hostile heathen world its inhabitants felt themselves a beleaguered remnant and they were. Vikings fell like a flail time and time again on thr northern coast valley's and islands. Islam cut them off and Arab raids tormented their coast. The foundation of Europe was laid in barbarism and backwardness. Europe would long be a cultural importer. European kings were hardly more than barbarian warlords to whom men would cling to for fear of something worse" this would be readable if you didnt make a spelling mistake every fourth word very backwards of you not being able to write

  29.  @jakobpetrov1750  no, they where defending themselves from christians, the christians where slaughtering pagans its not equivalent to an immigration of religious change, charles had slaughtered thousands of saxons in england when converting it and had already banned trade with scandinavia
    2
  30.  @jakobpetrov1750  no the main issue was not that they did not want christians in scandinavia they did not want to be converted through force and slaughter
    2
  31. no conclusive proof on that
    2
  32. nope, no proof for that except guesswork and even if the southerian migration or whatever happened, they would have been at least 100k years late to the people who were already there

  33. discover in relative terms of the old world if we "discovered" alien life on another planet it would be in relative terms of our civilization

  34.  @alecity4877  did they have a lot of successful generals in WW2?

  41. "new boats had to to be developed " except the voyage has been made a couple of times using reconstructions of what they had
    1
  42.  @anactaneustheeleventh2542  ", how in the hell can rickety viking boat cross the North Atlantic" well they got to iceland yeah? and to greenland? there, they have already crossed
    1
  43.  @anactaneustheeleventh2542  not to mention the viking boat reconstruction that nearly two decades ago made the same voyage as the vikings took to get to america, that ship made it just fine
    1
  44.  @anactaneustheeleventh2542  first you deny they where there by saying they couldnt get there, and i point out that they did have the technology t get there you go into racism and the semantics of "discover" im not saying they "discovered" anything they where simply the earliest known example that we know of people from the old world reaching the new world as we call it
    1
  45.  @anactaneustheeleventh2542  "treacherous, they would've froze to death by crossing it" 1 medieval warming period, read up on it 2 i live further north than you have to go to sail this route, i wear wool sweaters, same as they would have 3 voyages using reconstructed boats from the period have been made and thats even more of a statement because as you might know, we arent in the medieval warming period anymore, so they have it worse off

  46. its not invading if you dont have to clear out any people on the land you are taking, you are settling
