Ancient Cosmic Event And Unearthed Artifacts May Solve An Enduring Viking Mystery
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Scientists have embarked on a fascinating journey to unravel a Viking mystery, potentially illuminated by thousands of ancient artifacts discovered in one of Scandinavia's largest trading hubs from the Viking Age.
Through detailed examination, researchers found that these artifacts could be traced back to distant lands previously thought beyond the reach of Norse seafarers. It's well-established that the Vikings were unparalleled navigators, largely due to their extraordinary longships, an outstanding technical and artistic achievement of the European Dark Ages. Without these vessels, the Viking Age might never have unfolded as it did.
Recently, scientists pinpointed a cosmic event through wood analysis from L’Anse aux Meadows, revealing that European seafarers were cutting trees in Newfoundland in A.D. 1021. This discovery ties back to A.D. 993 when a solar storm emitted radiation absorbed by trees globally, a crucial tool for identifying the exact year Vikings reached the Americas.
The research we discuss this time delves deeper into history, revealing how Vikings knew sea routes connected to foreign and exotic artifacts found on Scandinavian soil. By combining historical astronomical insights with these artifacts, scientists can now accurately chart significant and unexpected events of the Viking Age. Have they finally unraveled this enduring mystery? It seems they might have achieved this extraordinary feat!
