It's incredible to me that the Vikings, those selfsame seafarers who established quite a presence and reputation for themselves throughout Medieval Europe, also made their way to the shores of North America. The site at L'Anse aux Meadows is a testament to their intrepid spirit and curiosity to say nothing of their sense of adventure. Explorers like Christopher Columbus and John Cabot are so often credited as being the first Europeans to land on these shores. But nay, it was the rugged and hearty Norsemen who should be given that title.
whya re you building viking houses in america???Are you ashame or your unexistant hisptry, sorry hisotry cant be jsut made up.. viking were thoieves and child murderes,, ist in hisotry books.Justa buch of terrorist cowards.. read ancient books thye dont lie
I visited L'anse aux Meadows some years ago before the latest excavations. Highly recommended. We also toured Newfoundland, the friendliest and most beautiful place on earth. Don't miss Gros Morne Park.
I reckon if you go about 150m offshore you will find a longboat wreckage...it looks like the bog iron ore was mainly used to manufacture nails at this destination..which way is there was more than likely longboat production happening in this calm bay..
Calling them Vikings is improper since a Viking was the possible Scandinavian term for pirate/raider. Although other possible definitions would make them simple seafarers. Calling them Scandinavian explorer, traders and pirate would still be much more accurate and just.
@@magnusorn7313 Thanks I went on a journey of looking at the evidence of the origin of the name. Although a runestone talks about a man dying while watching/protecting and area from vikings others talk about people who died out on a viking. I can be sure that viking has a negative connotation due to the man having to protect the area from them. Jackson Crawford on youtube described viking as more of an act of piracy or a pirate which some text seem to indicate as such. but if you look at the possible origins, many Scandinavian towns have vik in there name which could refer to the sea or to the bay or fjord the townis in. For all we know viking could have been a term for any seafarer but toke on a negative connotation due to the many raids of the viking era. even considering the two possibility simultaneously, I still think it would be better to refer to them as Scandinavian explorers, raiders and traders until we can have definitive proof of original meanings. I will still consider vikings as pirates due to the negative connotation the world got.
@@Gevixel guys from Sweden were called Varangians (Væringjar) and they were first rulers of pre-russian tribal folks by starting Rurik dynasty in Novgorod... They were not called Vikings..
Exploration of Canada by Europeans began with the Norse in the late 10th century on the country’s East Coast.Yet despite their formidable warrior culture, the Picts mysteriously vanished during the "10th century". The wild men the Romans could not conquer faded away and barely left behind a trace of their existence. Or did they? Lol;) 🍀
And they predate any known natives as they could not get to the Island. It's pretty cool. Beotuks were there as they left Labrador in the 1500s due to being pushed out.
The maritime, archaic Inuit pre-dated the Vikings by thousands of years. In fact, at Lanse aux Meadows, there are firepits that predate the Vikings by hundreds, if not a thousand years. Many artifacts found at Port aux Choix, again predating the vikings by at least a thousand years. The vikings encountered these natives and called them "Skraelings".
vinland saga inspired me to learn about this history lol

Anna Stina Inkstad is not mentioned! Why? Curiosity

There was an exploration of the bay that didn't turn anything up sadly
Wow ok, that is sad... what a great site, great work to everyone involved.. thank you for sharing your knowledge and finding..
More likely Knarrs were used by the Norse as they were more seaworthy for long deep ocean travel.

Do the Vikings believe in vALHALA or in vALLAHA? And why the Romanians are vALLAHs from Vallahia? And last one, why V means IN in Macedonian?
+macedonian-etc. Actually, they believe in “Valhöll”. But few foreigners can pronounce that.

not exactly because even traders would be described to "far í víking"

where did they get the wood to build the roofs, and fuel for their heat?
There are forests near L'Anse aux Meadows. Check out photos on UA-cam,
happy04346 it would also be imported from Labrador
They didn’t use fuel for heat 1000 years ago
@@anthony9421 -- If they did not use 'fuel' for heat 1000 years ago what did they use?

scientists found genetically Pictish people 'became' Vikings without genetically mixing with Scandinavians. 🍀
H5a5: found in Greece and Pictland (Scotland) and Nfld. The Picts came from Thrace (Greece) . 🍀
Amerindian languages are not related to Norse languages at all. There are
linguistic links between the Algonquian Indian Language and Gaelic. 🍀
From India
