Every place in Canada has trees, except the parts that don't, and those are just called Land of the Flat Rocks. All of them? Yeah, they did not write very much down.

There's a reason that this is taking me days upon days upon days when the stories are themselves 20 pages long. Yeah. But anyway, they get south from Markland, and then they find Vinland. The problem is that Vinland has been identified as Newfoundland. But then they've also found coal that matches strains found in Rhode Island. And berries from Quebec.

And according to all of the sagas, it seems like they all went to the same place, which can only, as far as we have archaeological evidence, can only be Lanzo Meadows. But you know where it says that they stayed? An island that is not that one. A smaller island, probably Belle Isle.

Oh, we definitely don't. We definitely don't. The other thing is that there is a 14th century map of the North Sea. That includes the British Isles, Norway, Iceland, Greenland. And the problem is that Greenland is connected to Helioland by land. How different was the sea level? It shouldn't have been that different. It was about the same temperature. Really? Oh, yeah.

This is only vaguely the hottest point in our history. There was a point called the Medieval Climactic Optimum. Okay. There are a few different names for it. But in Northern Europe, at least, it was hot. You could grow grapes in Sweden at this time period.

Yeah. And not like little shriveled baby grapes, like full-size grapes.

Yeah. And not like little shriveled baby grapes, like full-size grapes.

in sweden keep in mind this is a thousand years before the invention of monsanto yeah so arguably it was probably warmer than it is now so there would have been you tell i didn't really want to talk about giants and i was struggling to do so yeah no we're doing at this point the show is just the show yeah the show's the show you're here for us yeah realistically if you're watching this show you're here more for us

Even now it was probably, I think it's the difference. I looked into it. It was like 0.5 inches.

But point being is that I don't think it was higher. I think it was lower. I believe there was more ice cover.

Well, no. So they were actually at that point approaching an ice age. The little ice age was like 1300s.
