EVIDENCE vs MYTHICAL PARADIGM


and the winner is ...?
.
Had the information of the Viking Visitors to North America been promptly promoted by the academic Social Scientists, other scholars could have avoided their own long quests to put pieces of the Norse history in America together.  
.
That Norse were in America 1,000 years ago should have become school kid knowledge two decades ago.  The evidence and testimony would now be readily accepted as just that--more evidence of the Norse presence in America.
.
If you have never heard of the evidence before, the issue is not that it did not exist (It did) or that it is some type of clever fake now. (It is not.)  
.
The evidence is what exists after six centuries of unwritten history.    During one of those centuries, the 17th, Englishmen were actively attempting to cover up the existence of Norse Christians in North America.  Most of the known evidence will still exist three decade from now.  Just as the evidence in the Viking Visitors has survived three decades.
.
The real issue is that the academic educators do not have a systematic method to incorporate newly discovered artifacts into school classrooms.  So the North American educators are teaching a mythical paradigm for Early American History.  The mythical paradigm was created by English men, who omitted an accurate account of past events from history.
.
The migration route of the Norse Christians, the Lenape, was slightly different than the Viking Visitors film shows.  But Lee and his fellow researchers made the correct deductions about the two outstanding areas of artifacts that showed the evidence Norse in America.  
.
Six hundred years ago those areas had been connected for four centuries by men rowing boats.   The Vatican knew the Norse Christians were there. The final migration of Norse Christians from Greenland happened at the start of the Little Ice Age about 1,346.  They left churches behind.
.
Lee's last article in Beaver Magazine, 1983, (reprinted in Ancient American Magazine, 2012) does not mention the existence of the Viking Visitors film.  Apparently Lee was not told it was completed.  Lee wrote that he was deeply disappointed.  

The researchers and the film producer had done an outstanding task of presenting Lee's research.  But academic Social Science professors continue to believe the mythical paradigm they teach. 
.
Apparently, three decades later, National Film Board of Canada digitized its films into DVDs.  The technicians may not have known the film was not actively distributed three decades earlier. 
.
TheVikTube web site in Norway uploaded Viking Visitors as two videos, which appears to be a standard practice to put educational information online using the "fair value" process to avoid paying for copyright.  
.
Now, if you have viewed the two parts of the Viking Visitors, you may have just observed the reason why the film was not promoted by educators. 
.
The reason for the lack of promotion may have been because the film is compelling evidence that the current Social Science version of North American history is a mythical paradigm.
.
The physical evidence of Lee's research results were/are not compatible with the Eurocentric Paradigmwhich was, and still is,  the paradigm in the minds of most .Social Scientists.  
.
Why and how the film was not made available to the educators throughout the North American continent is not known.  What is known is that more than the film was ignored.  Two of the most well known authors, who wrote about ancient  North America published comprehensive survey books and did not mention Lee's Ungava research.          [Ida Jane Gallagher, Contact,   and   Fred C, Rydholm,  Michigan  Copper.]
.
The Smithsonian in the book. Vikings : The North Atlantic Saga by William F. Fitzhugh, Elisabeth Ward and William W. Fitzhugh (Apr 17, 2000) assured its readers that the stone walls on Ungava peninsula were native fishing shelters.  
.
The same book devoted a chapter to debunking most artifacts that may indicate a Norse presence in America.  The predominate judgment of most Ancient America scholars is that those debunked artifacts should be considered valid evidence.
.
Now, thirty-four years of students have graduated from American schools without knowing the Viking Visitors research results.  At least 136 million graduates have become the defenders of the Eurocentric Paradigm.  The Viking Visitors to North America, which should be seen most student in the world, has been viewed slightly more than 9,000 times.
.
This episode is only one of a string of episodes, which illustrate that the Eurocentric Paradigm is more powerful than the best deduction  of a majority of the best scholars attempting to define the actual account of past events based on evidence.  
.
The mythical paradigm appears to be more powerful than evidence of an accurate account of past events.  So, dear viewer, if you have read this far, you have been seduced into an unpleasant choice.  
.
If you do nothing, the Eurocentric Paradigm is the clear winner.
.
If you take every opportunity to advocate the VIKING VISTORS film, then the agreement of 27 scholars thirty four years ago may someday be be learned by the next year's crop of 4 million kids.
.
You must choose, "The winner is ..."


THE VIKING SWORD.
.
People with the Eurocentric Paradigm, profoundly disturbed the provence of the Viking Sword.  Today diligent researchers avoid using the Viking Sword as evidence of Norse in America because of the uncertainty.  Apparently no researcher has considered the historical connection to the Norwegian King Harald the Hardrada, who went to the western sea with the largest fleet in the world.  He was out to sea for at least two years.
.
Yet a recent NOVA program showing the modern creation of a 11th century Viking sword demonstrates all the important features of the Viking sword in Ulen MN.  The Ulen MN sword should be considered valid until knowledgable metallurgists examines the sword with modern instruments. 
.
The Viking Sword is outstanding example of faulty logic of people, who have the Eurocentric ParadigmThey cannot believe the simple meaning of a metal object of great antiquity found beneath the hard pan of Minnesota because they have been taught the Mythical Pristine Wilderness Paradigm, which is that no European came to America before Columbus.
.
The real problem with the validity of the Viking Sword is the Mythical Primitive Wilderness Paradigm.  If the Viking Sword, or any other ancient European artifact in America, is accepted as fact then the Mythical Primitive Wilderness Paradigm MUST be a myth.  If the Primitive Wilderness Paradigm is a Myth, then all of the North American pre-history and most of the Early American History is a myth.
.
Social Scientists do not have a systematic procedure for altering a mythical history that has been taught for centuries and is printed in millions of books.  
.
Everyone. who has been taught the Mythical Pristine Wilderness Paradigm (and that means nearly everyone), has already been given a judgment about the Viking Sword. It CANNOT be valid because it does not fit the Mythical Pristine Wilderness PARADIGM.
.
At the Conference of Ancient America, the participants remind each other that a better paradigm is "Many People came to Ancient America from many places at many times."  The Viking Sword fits into that paradigm, along with most of the other artifacts found in America.
.
The Norse were in America long before the Eurocentric Paradigm, arrived. That Paradigm has profoundly distorted history to cover up the existence of Norse Christians.  About three million descendants of Norse Christians are still being ignored in America today.
