发现美洲至少已经有三次了,距今最近而且宣扬最多的是不到500年前哥伦布的那次发现。公元1004年左右,冰岛人利夫·埃里克森就曾在加拿大海岸登陆。他报告说,那是一个有着良好牧场、气候温和的地方。葡萄和谷物长势繁茂。他把这块土地称做文兰(VineLand),意为“适宜种植葡萄之地”。在那个时候,大西洋北部的气候要比现在温暖得多,来自冰岛的流亡者得以在加拿大戴维斯海峡对岸的格陵兰岛建立居民点。他们的两个建有石屋、教堂和牧场的村落,在不断变冷的气候条件下一直保留到1400年。古老的北欧传奇故事表明,在这400年间那些殖民地开
The Americas have been discovered at least three times, and most recently and most promulgated of that discovery was less than Columbus’ discovery of 500 years ago. About 1004 AD, Icelandic Liv Eriksson once landed on the Canadian coast. He reported that it was a place with a good pasture and a mild climate. Grapes and cereals are growing. He calls this land VineLand, meaning “land suitable for planting grapes.” At that time, the climate in the northern Atlantic was much warmer than it is today, and refugees from Iceland were able to establish settlements on Greenland across the Davis Strait in Canada. Their two villages, with stone houses, churches and ranches, remained in 1400 in a constantly cold climate. The ancient Nordic legend shows that during those 400 years those colonies opened
