Grey Cloud Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 The subject of what happened to the Norse settlement of Greenland is a regular but this week we had two within a few days of each other. 23rd March. Greenland’s Vikings may have vanished because they ran out of water https://www.science.org/content/article/greenland-s-vikings-may-have-vanished-because-they-ran-out-water 25th March. Rapid glacial advance reconstructed during the time of Norse occupation in Greenland https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/03/220325093923.htm I love stories like this because of the way they talk about climate change without ever saying what caused it. We must be due for a "what caused the end of the Neanderthals?" story as we've not had one for a while.
Just Don't Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 There are some studies linked, but mostly descriptive ones yeah. Causation is hard to present in an consolidated way, and it's even more demonized by skeptics or deniers.
donttouchmethere Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 The Vikings forgot to invent bottles for their mead. This and the missing glacial ice "forced" them to drink all the mead as soon as it was made and they made a lot. At first they had a lot of fun, but in reality it was their downfall. Evidence A: Extra large horns without a cap. They had no choice but to drink it all. No real viking would spill his mead. Evidence B: Drunk driving sets a dragon ship on fire. High mead content made the common viking sailor highly flammable.

The Sun: News, sport, celebrities and gossip Or for History channel? I heard they always need drunken, YouTube educated specialists.

My Greenland hypothesis is that the Vikings discovered how close to North America they were and immediately fled back to Scandinavia. ?

I heard about that hypothesis, but they were way to drunk to do that. The percentage of mead to body mass caused Viking to spontaneously burst into flames during rapid body movements.
