## Resource

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating era of the Vikings and their voyages to the New World. We explore the historical evidence of their presence in North America, and then imagine a world where the Vikings never made it across the Atlantic. How would the absence of these Norse explorers have affected the timeline of global exploration and the eventual 'discovery' of America? Join us as we unravel the implications on European expansion, Native American civilizations, and the course of history. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
