By the Numbers: Vikings arrived in North America 1,000 years ago

1. Fjb

2. White people can't let First Nations have nothing. 🚣I couldn't find a viking emoji

3. White Privilege. Never leave home without it.

4. A new discovery??? A new study??? We have known about this for decades now….Canada even has a national historical site for it….L'Anse aux Meadows…..glad to hear more artifacts are being discovered or that new research is being done….but 1000 year old Viking settlements in North America is old news, so to speak.

5. U dont say. Ffs.

6. ❌❌OH, NO~~~~~~ “ ASIANS ” had a settlement in North America exactly 20,000 years ago
   
   They crossed islands between Asia and North America. Look at the islands between Asia and North America( Alaska).
   
   Peru, South America, has ruins from 15,000 years ago.

7. She said the indigenous people didn't have at the time then says the first HUMANS arrived 😔😔😔 wtf

9. Fallen angels reference

10. NOT thousands of years before

11. A stunning new discovery😅😅😅😅
    Omg you all are dumb. Everyone knows this. Too bad for you they was white!!

12. And it’s done 🖐🖐🖐bye bye Christopher C. 🖐🖐🖐🖐

13. Lol the Egyptians were here before them.

14. Did they have green card? Or they were undocumented aliens?…

15. These are important archeological discoveries – but I think the content suffers a lot from the misleading framing of this news piece.

    As to who was first – I can point to the inscription on the back of the Leif Eiriksson statue which stands in Reykjavik, Iceland – and which appears as background graphics the video. The statue was a gift to Reykjavik from the US to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Althing, the Icelandic parliament, which was founded in 930. It reads:

    Leifur Eiricsson
    Son of Iceland
    Discoverer of Vinland
    The United States of America
    to the People of Iceland
    on the one thousandth
    anniversary of the Althing

    AD 1930
    😁

16. A better story is ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Grand Canyon ..

17. PewDiePie will be proud 😆

18. It amazes me how many people commented on here without actually listening to what she said or did not comprehend what was said.

19. Columbus Day is a joke❕

20. This is old news. I knew this as a 5 year old I'm 42

21. No they didnt 😆 they didn't even know how to build houses they used to trade their women for vegetables 😂

22. I thank your a few years to late telling the news on this. Being a native we were told about the Dragon people who came to the land from the smoke of the sea aka the Viking’s.

23. It's been well documented that the Vikings visited Newfoundland way before Columbus sailed from Europe. Here's what the BBC said "It has long been known that Europeans reached the Americas before Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492." Now you know why I pay attention to the BBC and CBC and ignore American media. The hype from the paper in Nature is that they used a new dating methodology that allowed for a more accurate date. Did ABC provide fake news? or are their employees examples of the American education system? You decide.

24. The south Welsh did it in about 680AD or so… See Artorius Rex Discovered By Alan Wilson & Baram Blackett…
    Prince Madoc, Very interesting… A U.S. archaeology society found the physical evidence to confirm…
    It's all a bit outside of the accepted version of things…

25. It's about time.

26. The Native Americans were here before the Vikings…

27. Absolutely right, they came straight to Minnesota to make trouble for BLM to uncivilize the kiddy nation.

28. 😉

29. this "news" is soooo oooooold

30. NOTE And Africans sailed to the Americas centuries before Christopher Columbus.

31. Yeah we've known this for years now sweetheart where you been 😂😂

32. we knew . did the vikings has been kill by amerindians ?

33. My life has totally changed since I started with $7,000 and now I make $ 29,450 every 11 days.

34. That was Eivor and his raven clan, obviously, dah! 😉

35. Lol I knew this a long time ago

36. I'll do you one better, Ireland and Scotland are part of North America geologically and tectonically.

37. I've been hearing that for a long time now and I'm 75. I truly believe it too since the Vikings were very good sailors.

38. This was proven back in the 1970s, Why you treating this as shockin>? Any other Newfies find this stupid/?

39. For those who misinterpreted this as “old news”. She is speaking about the accuracy of the scientifically generated date as the new discovery, not the early viking settlement well before Columbus’ arrival — that’s old news. Basically, validating the (previously discovered) settlement through a precise dating technique rather than a range.

40. You can all kiss my ass i was here first .

41. Bjorn Skaaaaal !!!! 🦍✋🏿

42. 💗🌈💗🌈♎🤖👽🛸😎

43. Why is this a surprise? I thought it's a well known thing.

44. Where they the tall anglo looking dudes that where around when the spanish first landed in Florida? But had died off when they returned a few decades later? How about all the "afro" looking statues around central and south america?

45. yawn, so everyone else can leave artifacts, structures and human remains, but the vikings left nothing . more fake news man, the media can literally dream something up over night and make it front page news the next day. its no wonder trump has so many supporters. and I'm mexican btw
