Documentary concerning Leif Eriksson, the Norse explorer who founded Vinland in North America. Produced in 2000 for the 1,000th anniversary of Leif's voyage.
This documentary is 23 years old, but it is still fun. The two Sagas describe a total of 4 settlements or camps that must be different from and in addition to the one found at L'Anse aux Meadows: Settlement #1. Leif's Settlement in the Greenlander's Saga by a lagoon or salmon lake connected to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Apparently it's on the southern half of the west coast of Newfoundland, or else the southern coast of the Gulf of St Lawrence that runs from western Cape Breton to northeastern New Brunswick. Settlements #2-4 in Eric the Red's Saga. #2: Straumsfjord, meaning Current Fjord #3: A cape between #2 and #4. #4: Hop, meaning "Tidal Pool Estuary" Settlements #2-4 could theoretically be anywhere on the Atlantic coast stretching from L'Anse aux Meadows down the east coast of Newfoundland and the east coast of Nova Scotia, down south to NYC or theoretically even to the Carolinas because of their snowless winters. My sense is that #2: Straumsfjord would most likely be the Bay of Fundy, like the St. John's River Valley where butternuts grow wild. I drew and collected scholars' maps as to how those 4 sites would look if the Sagas' directions to them were taken literally, and discussed them here: historum.com/t/where-do-the-viking-sagas-point-to-the-vikings-visiting-in-the-us-or-southeast-canada.196378/ 🎄⛵⛪🏞🏔🌎🌲🌳🍇
I hate listening to this! I'm just trying to find out about the history of Leif and all I'm getting is my American ego stroked like I'm a todler who's focus has to keep being pulled back by shiny objects!
@@CountessKittenclearly you misunderstood if you think they want their ego stroked after they just said they didn’t. They don’t want to hear it from the point of view that caters to Americans. We want to hear how it actually happened , in the POV of the people who were discussing.

I go to a camp named Leif Erikson and this is the story
1:37 song?
Scandinavians call him LIFE!? No, we don't😂😂😂
Leif is pronounced Layf in Sweden. Ivar is Eevar (like see), not Eye-var.

Then, don't listen. It's simple really. Also, doesn't seem like you need any addictives to your ego. It's obviously bursting at the seams
