wait so if this runestone is a fake than why do people want to build a church there called "Our Lady of the Runestone" seems kinda disingenuous

They probably interbred with the Indians.
You don't think they were killed off? I think tribes on the east coast are considered more docile but that was a long time before the American genocide of them, and anything could have happened. But it's not something I have studied. I don't know if there is evidence that points towards violence or not.
Season 3 is 100% going to be the OP in Vinland with a native wife and kids because everyone he ever knew died, And then someone from Scandinavia comes and tells him to return to his homeland and he never comes back
I've haven't read the manga but it's pretty obvious this is what will happen
Roanoke was a combination of starvation and leaning on the Indians when they were struggling hardest.
They have records indicating some retarded etching in a couple of trees generally thought to be indicators
It's my belief they went to go seek assistance of the Indians after starvation took its toll. This whole there were no bodies is kinda retarded when you realize starving people don't bury the dead in winter they leave them exposed, the wildlife also starving at this point would spread a lot of the remains.
Couple that with the fact when the next wave of white ppl showed up there wasn't the forensic tools we have today nor the thoroughbreds.
Now I do think a couple of them survived, u had a couple Indians pop up like 50-75 years later with a rudimentary understanding of basic English they couldn't explain how they learned. One or two of them that spoke some English were described as having mixed appearance but these claims were all anecdotal accounts.
I think they were dying, took their chances with the native, who allowed some of them to join, they got some of sweet brown pussy and talked to their kids in English. The same way a grandparent might speak German only so the grandchild knows how to say good night, help me, I love you in broken German but can't carry a conversation due to being raised in another language
I think the Kensington Runestone is real and I think Mary put it there. I intend to make a pilgrimage to this site
In his historical account of Minnesota’s Diocese of St. Paul written in 1952, Father James Reardon wrote that the Kensington Rune Stone inscription told the story of “a lost colony of Vikings whose visit conferred baptism on the state by the shedding of Catholic blood.” Chapter four of Myths of the Rune Stone: Viking Martyrs and the Birthplace of America tells the fascinating story of how Catholics came to embrace the Scandinavian artifact as their own.

What up y'all I got some time to do this and have spent some of my day thinking over how I wanted to say this because it is a subject close to the culture of my ancestors.
The "Vikings" is a term that is kinda falsely attributed to a desire of pillaging and raping as described by the Christians they victimized at the time. THey largely were involved in agriculture and trade, it was only for a relatively brief period that they whomped the shit out of the European coastline on the come up.
That being said they had made advances related to seafaring that cannot be understated mostly related to the construction and mastery of the Longboat. Essentially a ship that didn't displace much water and could be navigated in a variety of different waterways including very shallow rivers and the wide expanse of the sea.
This was also largely attributed to a time when the political volatility of the Nordic countries (of note Norway) which is a subject of an entirely different discussion. Point being there were a lot of unhappy motherfuckers with big families that wanted to get out of the domination by centralized powers. So you got this one fucker he real important his name was Erik the Red, he was aight 8/10. He's like fuck it bro i'mma take everyone that likes me and leave!!! And I screenshot everything and send it to Odin!!! So everybody get in my boat and leave!!!
Iceland was dank, especially related to ivory. Mind you the White people love spreading around the world. So then you had this real nigga his son named Lief Erikson, his ass was like you know my dad was cool but I am cooler so he found a bunch of brave souls and decided to push even farther West. Not realizing it wasn't going to be a couple hundred miles but was a couple thousands.
Thus they went into NE North America. THe area is now known as Vinland. I'm not sure if it's a direct cognate but you can grow grapes there. My people loved liquor and knew of wine from expansionist adventures into the Known World especially as it relates to Roman territories. So they went over there. THe reason we know they settled their extensively is because of relatively recently (<100 years) stone foundations. You see the Native Americans weren't big on stone foundations, but my people were. These buildings were often centralized around important building churchs known as the Hof. Rectangular structures that featured 2 fireplaces at both ends, often colloquially called "long houses."
The natives didn't just find the motivation to evolve for a short period to make them, I cna't remember the number but they found a decent sample, all along the waterways, all more or less done on the axis points common to their customary build.
The first they did was wander around looking for the come up. THis was found in grapes. However the vast distance back to Iceland (which itself was an outpost) and to Norway (For extensive trade) made this resource relatively unprofitable.
With the absence of gold, silver, or suitable slaves (the natives could and would fight back with overwhelming numbers, though they left the Whites alone almost entirely) it became kinda not worth it to create long-term outposts. So having showed up, established a couple little villages as part of exploratory progress it was determined to be largely unprofitable and kinda shitty to be so far away from the modern world. Not really land worth cultivating or resources worth gathering (transporting wine thousands of miles isn't the same value as transporting gold) so after you know 1-2 generations they packed they shit up and left.
That's why the "Vikings" didn't have more extensive colonization of the New World despite finding it a couple hundred years before Christopher Columbus.

I was gonna say, they found shit somewhere in the Midwest. But it would be weird. Like how did they get there and why wasn't anything else found along the way.
