For decades, we believed Vikings made one brief visit to luis arraez North America around alessio uomini e donne 1000 AD, then abandoned the continent forever.

This video explores the groundbreaking archaeological discoveries that rewrote Viking history, from mysterious wood fragments that traveled 2,000 miles across the ocean, to DNA signatures that prove generations of Norse families made routine voyages to harvest American timber.
