Synopsis
This book explores the rich history and evolution of European exploration and discovery, with a particular focus on the Vikings and their voyages to the shores of America long before Columbus's famous journey. The author presents compelling evidence to support the theory that these intrepid Norsemen reached the shores of North America in the 10th and 11th centuries, establishing colonies that existed for centuries before being abandoned. The book also delves into the wider context of geographical knowledge and beliefs in the Middle Ages, shedding light on the motivations and misconceptions that shaped the European worldview during this fascinating period of history. Ultimately, this book provides a fresh perspective on the discovery of America, emphasizing the remarkable achievements of the Vikings and their significant contribution to the broader narrative of human exploration.
