It depends which journeys. The one with Torfen Karlsefni is described as having women and children. Or at the very least, women.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Again, there's a reason... The reason I'm just, like, not reactive to this is that this was normal for them.

This was just the way of life for the Norse. That was what they did.

So it makes sense that they... It makes more sense that they would set up a settlement than that they wouldn't. Which is why I'm thinking they probably did. And we just haven't found them yet.

Because, again, I can understand not doing Newfoundland, but Labrador was close. And maybe they really did. And the thing is, if the sagas are accurate in the extent that, like, they describe the casualties accurately, they weren't losing many men at all. Like, compared to the casualty rate of just living in Greenland from cold and starvation and sickness... the Vinland colony did well.

It also, the archaeological evidence suggests that it was inhabited for intermittently for years, like a couple of decades, which suggests that it was being used on and off for various reasons. Just what were they? What was the extent of the settlement there? It doesn't seem like it was a ton of people. It seems like there was more to it, you know, and that's,

That's why I got frustrated towards the end of the video. I was like, can somebody just fund this? Because it is so odd to look at all of it and come to the conclusion that they set up this one colony really far south and didn't set up anything in between. That does not make sense. I mean, when you look at the Norse history, they get to England and what do they do? They immediately set up.

It is much more dangerous. They lose hundreds of lives, but they bring women and children.
