Why are people pretending we just figured out Vikings came here before Columbus?

I remember reading about it in 6'th grade.

To get us used to the idea that the "tribe" staked their claim before the Catholics

Lol what? Ok moran.

Yup same. And it’s in many books like the Harvard Reader. So again, why are we pretending like this is new information?

Ancient tribes of Israel far before Vikings

Heavener Runestone Park & Historic Site - Heavener, Oklahoma

Closer View of the Inscription
There are different theories as to the translation of
the inscription on the Heavener Runestone.
A Relic of Vikings in Oklahoma?
One of the most unusual historic sites in the
South can be found on a mountainside in
Oklahoma. Some believe that Vikings came
here more than 1,000 years ago and left a
sign of their passing carved on the face of a
massive boulder.

The huge rock, now called the Heavener
Runestone, is the centerpiece of a park in
Heavener, Oklahoma.

To say that the theory of Vikings roaming
around prehistoric Oklahoma is controversial
would be putting it mildly. The scientific
community does not consider the Heavener
Runestone an authentic artifact of the Viking
era. Others, however, firmly believe that the
mysterious carving is more than 1,000 years
old.

Public attention was first brought to the
Heavener Runestone decades ago by the
late Mrs. Gloria Farley. She heard of the
unusual inscriptions and arranged for a local
guide to take her to the site. After consulting
with students of ancient languages, Mrs.
Farley became convinced that the carving
had been left by ancient Norse explorers.

One of the leading diffusionists (people who
believe in travel to the Americas by other
cultures prior to Columbus) of her time, Mrs.
Farley went on to write a book outlining her
theories about the Heavener Runestone and
other mysterious carvings around the country.

Mrs. Farley and her supporters came to
believe that the inscription on the stone could
be interpreted to read "Glomesdal" or "Valley
of Glome." Glome, they theorized, was a
viking explorer who claimed the little ravine of
his own centuries ago.

Others firmly disagree. The symbols carved
on the rock are indeed runes, but their
meaning is as disputed as their origin. The
carvings can also be interpreted to read
"Gnonesdal" or "Valley of the Gnomes," and
in fact the beautiful mountain ravine at
Heavener RUnestone State Park looks much
like the kind of place where our ancestors
believed gnomes (small mythical beings)
could be found.

Could the carving have been left by Vikings
roaming around eastern Oklahoma centuries
ago or does it date from more recent times?
It depends on who you ask. Archaeologists
point out that no verifiable Norse artifiacts
have ever been found in Oklahoma. Those
who believe in the runestone's authenticity,
however, point out that a series of similar
carvings have been found in the area.

Whatever the truth, the Heavener Runestone
is a unique cultural artifact that adds a great
deal of mystique to the beautiful mountain.

i learned it at least 20yrs ago

The media told us everyone lived in utopia before white people came and made black people slaves and killed the native Americans.

Ya and the Harvard reader is from 100 years ago. This isn’t new information so why are people pretending like it is?

Didn’t the Chinese show up in the 1400s or something .

Do a search. There’s all these articles all of a sudden.

Not to mention that Columbus never touched the American continent

Don't know your history, Do you?

I see this kind of stuff all the time . Every thing old is new again mentality . The older I get the more often I notice it . It is very disturbing .

It seems almost like it is specifically meant to take down Columbus or something. Like taking him down will be a symbolic victory.

Lol ok moran

Vikings in America: the Europeans who arrived 500 years before Columbus

Last I checked, vikings were pretty white. Probably more than Italian Columbus. Doesn’t seem like a white thing. Seems like something specific to remove Columbus.

You haven't noticed that every five to ten years you will see news stories recirculate, like they are brand new discoveries. It's all part of the time and technology loop the TPTB have us caught in since the 60s. We should be living in tommorrowland by now, but they keep us going in circles chasing our own tails, while they maintain bare minimum a 60 year tech advantage.

This is just another example.

The taking down of civilization, symbolically. The Vikings had their own ways and things going, but they weren't really part of the MYSTERY Babylon Civilization World Tour.

Changed your IP.

Hmm...ok..."OP"

Your insistence on insulting me for providing an answer for "your" question reflects poorly on your intelligence.

Yup and if the Vikings never gave the natives cheese they would’ve never thought they were trying to poison them. Thanks to the shits the natives had being lactose
