These are the first words in a rigorous translation of the 1362 memorial poem inscribed on the Spirit Pond runestone; found on the coast of Maine in 1971. This translation climaxed a decade of historÂÂical investigations by authors Johnson and Westin in which they address a 450 year-gap in North American history between the 1492 voyage of Columbus and the Vinland voyages of Leif Eriksson and Thorfinn Karlsefni shortly after 1000 ad. After the Vinland voyages the Greenlanders developed a lucrative trade in North American furs; marketed in Norway and taxed by the king. But after 1300 a cooling climate caused the GreenÂÂland merchants to migrate to North America and the trade died. To regain the trade and expand his empire; in 1356 King Magnus of Norway and Sweden sent his son; young King Haakon VI; on an expedition to North America with Commander Paul Knutson. The inscripÂÂtions on the Spirit Pond and Kensington runestones enable the authors to reconÂÂstruct the fascinating story of Magnus and his expedition; more than a century before Columbus left the shores of Spain.

Douglas Kenyon; one has to come to the conclusion that a great and high civilization existed on earth in the distant past. Indeed; one has to lean in the direction of our species being genetically engineered perhaps by this civilization (Sitchen's works) and with each new archaeological discovery; one has to logically (I think) connect the dots. The explanations for the marvellous construction and feats of engineering by the builders of the great pyramid of Giza by "orthodox Egyptology" is positively farcical when faced with the research by those in J. Douglas Kenyon's book. I suspect that as the new discoveries continue to come forward; orthodox Egyptology will be reduced to a mere footnote in history as the realization that what contemporary history teaches us in totally incomplete and the exclusive purview of those in academia who are desperately hanging onto a massive campaign of disinformation and protection of equally massive egos as they see; daily that new information renders all their theories of ancient Egypt totally obsolete and thus their influence in such matters.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This is a great book. It helps to dispel fiction and misnomersBy R. WilliamsThis is a great book. It helps to dispel fiction and misnomers; which have been perpetrated upon humanity. This book dispels fiction and underscores the truth.For centuries scientist in the archaeologic society have suppressed truth; they use weapons of character defamation to keep those uncovering new scientific evidence; carbon dated facts that would demonstrate Darwin's theory is false and prove our true origin goes back not thousands of years; not millions; but there is innumerable evidence which proves the human creation dates back at least billions of years. Scientist have a lot to lose if this evidence is brought forth; the foundation they've built their careers upon (degrees; educational dispositions in academia; etc.); would come tumbling down; therefore; they suppress the truth and label truth bearers; "crackpots;" "idiots; " and "fools. " This is their method for shielding Darwin's fairytale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the co- authors do a great job in presenting their evidenceBy jeffrey gedneythe co- authors do a great job in presenting their evidence; but they continue to miss a very simple concept; if there was a global flood as indicated by the proofs they reveal in their book; then it would be the source of all fossils formed; (because fossils are formed by sudden or rapid burial and compression preserving them) and anything that died before that (their so called modern man from millions of years ago would have already returned to dust;just like things do today; they decompose and there are no remains left);so the fossil remains are from the civilizations destroyed by the flood; the book of Enoch shed light on this for me; it explained where the technology of all the monoliths came from ;the watchers; and why the flood was brought upon mankind;the dna of man was corrupted by their taking of human wives and the evidence of fossils of giants and bizzare life supports this; I THINK THEY FORGOT WHAT THEY WROTE ON PAGE10;FOSSILS USED TO DATE ROCKS; AND ROCKS USED TO FOSSILS; CATASTROPHIES FORM SEDIMENT LAYERS; NOT TIME
