Hurstwic's video: Hurstwic: The Norse Discovery of America

One in a series of presentations for the Hurstwic Heathen Study Group, an organization that meets monthly for informal presentations and discussions on topics of interest to heathens and to anyone with a passion for Norse-related topics. The Sagas of Icelanders describe the colonization of Greenland by Erik the Red and the subsequent discovery of land further west by his son Leif Erikson. Leif would name this new land "Vinland the Good." In this presentation, independent researcher Gregory M. Lott revisits the work done by Norwegian explorer and author Helge Ingstad and his archaeologist wife, Anne Stine Ingstad. Their extensive effort would demonstrate how Europeans visited North America nearly 500 years prior to Columbus.
