Are you sure about that? And could one not put that down to coincidence? . The island of Antigua is named by Christopher. It is very well known that it was named after a painting of the virgin Mary that Christopher would say a "prayer to". Christopher nicknamed the painting 'La Antigua" - "The old one" because the painting was some 300+ years old during Christopher's time. Again - this was all documented. That very painting is today sitting inside a church in Seville, Spain. . Given that the name of Antigua is not named after a land around Vila de Cuba... do you not think it is time to perhaps questions this view point?

@@markplain2555 Yes, it is a tribute to Santa Maria de Antigua of Spain, as it was under the jurisdiction of the Spanish crown, but the fact that it gave so many names to islands equal to the names of lands around the city of Cuba, was it a tribute to what? And since you're talking about Seville Cathedral, why won't they allow the DNA of the crown prince who is in that Cathedral to be removed? Because it is indicated that he is of direct lineage with Cristovao's DNA? That would make it either Spanish or Portuguese and have nothing to do with Italian.

He is right Kilimanjaro is the tallest free standing mountain in the world. Fact. The others are mountain ranges whereas it stands alone

@@tindo9833 Makes sense. Thanks!

@@JohnShepherdMusic God bless😎👍

I am sorry you have taken the view that I am arrogant towards there being Vikings in Canada. I did say that 'probably' the Vikings were first, I don't believe the term 'arrogant' would be appropriate given that I clearly show I'm open to dispute (and this is the theme of the video). . I am willing to discuss the possibility or impossibility of that Vikings landed in Canada. Just a quick, simple Google search shows a National Geographic article on the matter: www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2017/11/vikings-made-it-canada . If you have any contradicting proof - I would be glad to discuss it - without arrogance.

@@thoughtnomad5741 Ok, I correct the arrogant, because arrogant people never want to debate with an open mind any subject, sorry. However, I am getting angry with the "easy" way that many people are assuming that vikings discovered Canada, when there is not one single evidence! First no one in Europe until the end of the 15th century heard about a new continent in front of Europe, they dont even knew if the sea ended in an abysm! If someone knew about new lands on that area for sure somebody will know, afterall a big discover always meant fame and money! Second all the bla blas launched by the Scandinavians in America obsessed in putting Scandinavians in America no matter how, they all were unmasked. Even Lanse Aux Meadows is just a cool amusement park, where the main prove is a tree from the 10th century, well for sure there will exist trees from all centuries there, not even the houses can be classified as vikings because in the early 17th century there were French and Porftuguese fishermen there who used fishing warehouses very similar to those old houses there. Finally Vikings just could get there by accident, they were thieves and theieves dont go to the unknown to steal and that how little KNOWLEDGE people destroys to place vikings in Jupiter, sorry in Canada, the winds and currents push the ships from America to Europe, even nowadays sailing boats (just on wind) they prefer to go South and take advatadge from the Azores Carroussel to receive the winds and currents that push the ships from Europe to Americas, so there are so incredible giant lies, based in ultra nazistic theories, that only for blind, obsessed decisions sold by the Nazi America media that sells these lies to anyone who wants to believe that to get the knowledge to put man in America instead of 3 centuries of hard work, studies, researches, high scientific developments, centuries of ship technologic developments, hundreds of trips, discovering how to find the latitude in sea, invent new sailing, cosmographic, cartographic developments and many more, afterall it was no need, because a small group of analphabet thieves and assassins can do it any time! Well, in 5 centuries vikings will be announced as the first man in the moon, because there will be found a few stones very similar to runes...!

@@MrJovision Thanks for your input. I will definitely be reading about this more in the future. And I am sorry if I through out a statement that you find insulting. I live in Canada and we have had a few 'documentaries' by the Canadian National TV station discussing various left over "ruins". I categorically remember that inside the 'ruins' they discovered various tools that were similar to those of the Vikings. The archeological findings suggest a high probability that these were not native American but rather European and the carbon dating on the tools, places them at the age of the Vikings. NOW!!! having said this - it is very possible that other Europeans who used similar tools as the Vikings may have made this trek. And I do have my own reservations hence the reason I said "probably" Vikings made it to Canada. And I don't fully accept the Canadian story (like I don't fully accept the Portuguese story that Columbus was Portuguese). . I do need to dispute the circular current concept. Although Columbus did discover what you call the "Azores Carroussel". In the far North Atlantic we find that all kinds of currents exist including a East to West Current that even birds use (while paddling in the water) to travel from Iceland to the coast of Canada. Further we know full well as it is clearly documented: the Portuguese sailed from Portugal, north then west to Canada at least 4 times AND made it back to Europe (the whole point of my video). If the Portuguese could do it - truly anyone could do it. . So the final point is: did some group from Europe make it to the coast of Canada (North American Continent) well before the Portuguese and Columbus. I'd say there is about a 90% chance that it is -yes. Was that group the Vikings? Well given that the Vikings were already sailing in the Northern waters and that the reminiscence found in Canada were typical of the Vikings and dated to their time period. I'd say there is a strong likelihood. They may have gotten stuck in Canada and not made it home, they may have even been shipwrecked and pushed to Canada. . I wasn't there and I don't truly know.

@@thoughtnomad5741 It is a pitty that we live in an age where we are confronted much more with "fiction tv docs" than true history and so we are obligated to "accept" some facts without never having the oportunity to hear about different voices. Yet, the good historians from Canada, they speak very different, afterall it took centuries for discovering the seas, the world, it was necessary the caravels, the first boats that allowed to find the currents and winds, after the Portuguese already know that, they built the carracks because now they know in what time of the year, in what part of the planet they would catch them. Maybe you are interested in seing this extremly great documentary, in which where you can see what the top world academics explain the Discoveries age, especially the Canadian professor who made the voyage in caravel. PS, its in Portuguese, maybe the English subtitles are ok? ua-cam.com/video/7xUEZt0_osc/v-deo.html

So how do you explain the Norse site at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland if "There is not one solid single evidence that vikings were in Canada"?

Lindo!

@Random Gaming shes not salty. He was. His tomb was sent to a jewish monastary. He was portuguese jewish. His his tomb inscription stands for salavador fernandes Zarco. And he never spoke or wrote genoan But he spoke and wrote portuguese and spanish Plus they never wrote his name as colombo I think. The pope didnt write his name as colombo either. But I dont know whats we from, most portuguese nationals aren't decended from the portuguese sailors who landed spanish latin america and carribean islands. Its current day carribean hispanics that mostly are.

I think the saltiness' refers to her needless criticism of South Africa. Totally inappropriate an uncalled for. Ironically enough I don't come from South Africa (although I do sound South African). . I am familiar with the Portuguese media portraying Columbus as a Portuguese citizen. I am open to the concept although I do know this has not been verified by the historical community outside Portugal. Until we have a 3rd party historian society confirm this I will stick to the better known history of his nationality. . It would be strange to view Columbus as purely a 'spy' yet it is well recorded that Columbus did approach the King of Portugal with the proposal to sail Westward and was turned down, yet the Spanish paid for this voyage. Would it not make more sense for Portugal to fund the voyage and not give the Spanish the opportunity discover more lands? Keep in mind that the Portuguese already had funded previous voyages to Newfoundland, Canada (see my other video).

@@thoughtnomad5741 Geopolitics is a complex matter that must be approached from a strategic point of view. Are you aware of the meetings before and after his trips with the portuguese King and other portuguese officials in Madeira island? The portuguese got the reports always before the spaniards, it's documented, also have you seen an analises of his letters to his brother with clear errors of portuguese in the mix? The portuguese media couldn't care less for portuguese culture and legacy, academics however make very good points with documents (maps, letters, treaties, etc). Isabella is a rude spanish frustrated girl upset about her acne, don't mind her yt is full of it!

@Random Gaming u idiot...

@Tradpa0212Columbus was the son of captain Zarco the discoverer of the Madeira Islands. There is a good amount of evidence he was ordered by the Portuguese king to divert the Spanish from India disguised as an Italian merchant

He’s Italian 😂

@@Tradpa Your idiocy is not a theory it's a fact, the man didn't even know how to write genoese! :D

The portuguese had already cartographed 11.000km of the american coastline.

I agree with you. I’m reading the Portuguese Columbus secret agent of King John ll. The book makes a lot more sense than what this guy saying on here.

Abilio, thank you for your post. Yes I had heard that Columbus was actually Portuguese. And I have actually been reading about this. I'm not arguing your statement, although I know plenty Italians that would be upset. Whether or not he was Italian, he was obviously told to get lost. Have you seen my video about the Caprivi Strip - it mentions the Portuguese too.

Yes, Columbus (not his real name) was a portuguese spy, working for the portuguese crown. That's impossible he could be italian. Only because they found an elementary school register with the name of a Chistophorus Columbus. There's nothing connecting the navigator to the poor young boy in Genova. He didn't speak italian nor spanish. When he tried to speak or write in spanish was mixed with portuguese. The spanish know that well. I think there's a letter he wrote to an italian in "spanish", not italian (weird). He married with a noble portuguese lady! In those days that would be impossible for a non noble to married a noble. All the knowledge he had, would be almost impossible for a poor person to acquire. On his returning from his first trip to america he first came to Portugal and visited his family and the king of Portugal, before going on to Spain. There's a lot of Columbus to be known. It's a tremendous story on tremendous times (sorry for my english)

This is an absurd conspiracy theory that no serious Portuguese historian believes in. Columbus was Genovese.

@@Veon1 explain the island of Curaçau?

@@abiliofreire8559 A bit of a weird question, but sure, the island of Curaçao is the result of volcanic activity at the edge of the Caribbean and South American tectonic plates, having emerged from the sea some millions of years ago during the Miocene epoch.
