The Vínland Map

In the first of the "Viking Mysteries" series we look at the mystery surrounding the Vínland Map.

Is the Vínland Map an authentic 15th Century map made by the Vikings or a modern day forgery? What is the background to the Vínland Map and why was it created? What is its history/story? Who made it? How did they make it? What do modern scholars think of the map today? And how did it ultimately end up in the hands of Yale University?


The answers to all of these questions and more! Don't forget to rate, review, and help spread the word. You can reach me via e-mail at: vikingstoryfaq@outlook.com
