Cool archaeological find

[Easy 6]

Interesting stuff, for those into this stuff you should check out America Unearthed, i watched it for the first time last night.

Pretty cool story, the found a big rock in an arizona cave with anglo-saxon runes on it that were an ode to an englishman from the 1100's, looong before Columbus supposedly discovered the new world.

They think his body is buried there, and ground penetrating radar seems to confirm it, but they werent able to dig there for the show due to the lengthy permit process in arizona.

That would be some pretty wild news, englishmen in arizona some 500 years before any known discovery of america.

I think we've been sold a bill of goods with Columbus, hell they've got viking artifacts up in minnesota and wisconsin.

Oh, yeah. I absolutely agree that the "Columbus discovered America" myth is pure bullshit. I'm stunned that Anglo-Saxon runes would be found on a stone in Arizona. That's an incredible journey from the Northern East coast of the continent. I would see why it would be worthy of documenting at the time.

Wow.

Is that a credible show? That seems almost too fantastic to believe.

I agree on the Columbus thing, and I think it's well documented that Vikings were wandering around long before him. But Anglo-Saxon stuff in Arizona would be quite the discovery, and the bigger question I would have about it is the lack of documentation in England if they had people wandering around that far west.

This is bogus. What they found in Arizona was a hoax.

Was it PR for the John Carter movie?

I guess that wouldnt be so surprising, but it did have some top archaeologists fooled.

Is this information something you might have a link to?
