  1. From Lord of the Rings.

  2. The Vikings were in Galicia several times, in my city, Vigo, which at that time was a village, they came out on zero coma. In Santiago de Compostela the same, with all the ships burned. In Lisbon the same. In Seville the same and prisoners of the Arabs. They lost every battle in which they faced someone other than a priest or a nun. In fact they did so little damage in battle that they ended up like the Pope's guard of Rome, the Varangian Guard. No way did they make it to America, there isn't a single Viking remains there and if anyone has one I challenge them to show it. They were devastated by all the tribes that surrounded them, Normans and Goths in particular. Their ships are copies of the Roman Rhine ship. Those who reached Greenland ALL died. On top of that they had a sad end, they took over Kievan Rus and formed Russia.

  6. That's why Irish monks wrote them centuries later, because they are as entertaining as they are false.

  7. The Vikings, alone, did not win a single battle against an army in all of Europe ever.

  8.  @magnusk4352  To begin with, what you call Vikings, which you don't even know who they were, were actually Normans, because the Goths invaded half of Sweden, the same as Spain and Italy, and the other half and Norway were invaded by the Normans, who were a people of Romance beech, from northern France. The Vikings won some small battles as mercenaries of other armies, for example in Ireland against England or in Scotland and on and on. I am Spanish, from Galicia, a region with Celtic roots, Suevi (a Germanic group) and Visigothic/Germanic too. The Vikings were here several times, even in my city, the same as in Seville, Lisbon, etc. while It was still Arab and they always lost, they tried to rob the Cathedral of Santiago and lost against a bishop and against the king of the Kingdom of León, their ships were all burned, the Arabs did the same, none of them survived. The only Viking victories were against isolated monasteries and their fame spread so that certain feudal lords were granted lands, castles, titles, to protect a threat that was nothing more than a band of ragtag men. Of course they never set foot in America, the remains seen there are from Basque whalers. They did not write anything, Irish monks did it centuries later from places where they had never seen anything. The mania that you all have with Vikings is queer.

  9.  @magnusk4352  Do you like Vikings, those muscular, hairy men with axes? Look, I'm Spanish, but half of my family is Swedish and I don't know where you're from but I bet I know more history about your own country than you do.

  10. ​ @TihetrisWeathersby  You think a damn YouTube video is a reliable source? Look, I am almost history, I studied this in the 60's, everything I have said you can repeat in the church this sunday and people can say amen.

  11.  @TihetrisWeathersby  Very good, then show me one. Erickson did not know how to write and you come to tell me that three centuries later, the Genoese, competitors of Spain and initiators of the Black Legend had evidence, what evidence? Those or the sagas, which are written by Christian monks in Ireland, basically inventing the first thing that came to mind. I repeat the question, do you have any proof that the Vikings discovered America? NO, RIGHT?
