They basically marked it in days. Okay. I don't think we get how many days they traveled on that one. But then the other thing is, like, they make the crossing from Greenland to Baffin Island in, I think, two days. That is 300 miles.

Oh, if you, if you go, if you, this is my favorite example now of the difference. Two days versus seven.

This is now my favorite example of the difference between history and archeology.

Because if you take the historian angle and you go, well, we're going to follow the documents. you're not in Newfoundland.

If you go to the archaeological angle and you go, well, we're going to look at the artifacts, it was definitely Newfoundland.

Yeah, there's no way to... The more I look into it, I'm like, there's no way to reconcile these two things. Yeah. Like, the only explanation I'm coming up with is that these are describing multiple places and that Carlsefni did not land... At Newfoundland. Or at least he didn't establish settlement there. Or maybe he did. There's a place they called Hop. That sounds like it's in Newfoundland.

But then they also talk about... So here's the other thing. In the saga of Eric the Red, there's two different accounts. One of them is of the Skralings. And the other is of the Unipeds. Uniped being the one-footed people.

They are distinct from one another. These are described as different races. Oh. Interesting. Doesn't make sense. No. Kind of implies that we're in two different locations here. Now, some people have been like, oh, well, there was a group of people who only had one foot in Africa and they thought it was in Africa for some reason.

I've come across no evidence that they did, in fact, think that this was part of Africa. I also frustrating thing here. It can't even all be made up because a Adam of Bremen mentions it in like the year eleven hundred. So only a hundred years off from this. And then also Lanzo Meadows.

So that's the question. Melville? Does the river into it flow from east to west?
