Which I think is also a point, you know, in the debate of how early did Europe meet the Americas? I feel like if there was substantial contact at any point, that we would see disease spread from that point, and we would find some sort of pattern. Some of those diseases you can't detect in bones, but some you can. Like smallpox, you can tell from bones.

And so, if archaeology would find some sort of mass, if... misunderstood die off because we know that happened i mean that that that signature is clear as a bell at the the known contact period in the 1500s just mass death but do we see it earlier like it is confusing the

There is actually a big hiccup in North America, somewhere right around 1300, where a lot of the, maybe it's the 1200s, where the Mississippian sites, a lot of them are abandoned and new ones start up, and wonder what caused that shift. It's temptingly close to when the Vikings were hit and had briefly a compound or a... a place in Canada.

Later than that. Landed right here. We're pretty close to where he might have landed. Didn't he land in St. Augustine? Well, he landed in St. Augustine first, but then he came up here, and the first place, Uvita, I think is actually at the top of Tampa Bay. The very northern part of Tampa Bay is where Uvita was. And he talks a lot about how the bay was difficult.

There's a park there called Fort DeSoto. I think that's it. I think that's it. That's where Uvita was.

He lands here and sends forces, leads forces up through central Florida. All the way up to where Tallahassee now – Tallahassee was the capital of the Apalachee civilization. He keeps going through Georgia. Two and a half years worth of a reign of death. An interesting thing about that particular moment in regards to the disease – I'm too far away –
