Vikings in America: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - Ep 145

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the lads sail themselves into the tempest that is the hoaxes, pseudoscience, and popular culture of Vikings in North America. We start off by going into the history and timing of the Viking Age and their settlements in Iceland, Greenland, and their short stay in Newfoundland. Then we get into hoaxes like the Vinland Map, the Kensington Rune Stone, and the recent nonsense of Vikings making their way up the Mississippi River and then to Oklahoma.
