I'm sure I'd enjoy looking at it, but there are probably historian types who would like it more. Dennis - Love it. Perhaps a Ridiculous Exploration Theories map is in order.

It is a presentation to the National Geographic Society of such theories, with maps and picyures dated late 1800s. Let me know if you are interested.

Wrong!! Wrong!!! Norumbega was actually Cleveland. Navigating up the St. Lawrence would have been no problem for the Norse, as they could easily have portaged around the Lachine Rapids. Not sure how they got around Niagara Falls. Obviously, more research required. The Norse settlement at Cleveland was ultimately destroyed by the Martians - or the tribes that would one day be the Iroquois Confederacy and who were, in fact, the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. I have read accounts that put the Norse explorations in the Pacific Northwest - present day British Columbia. Imagine! A Harvard professor puts Leif's Houses in Massachussetts!!! Yeah, I know - the Wexford Knight, etc. Note to Lora: The Sagas say that the Norse were driven out by the 'Skraelings'. How the Norse could have established a 'city' in eastern Mass is beyond me. Wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!!
