Vinland Map

The Vinland Map is a controversial map believed to date back to the 15th century. It purportedly shows parts of North America, specifically a region labeled "Vinland," believed to be where Norse explorers landed long before Columbus. The map's authenticity has been widely debated, with some scholars arguing it is a genuine artifact, while others claim it is a modern forgery. If authentic, it could challenge the established timeline of European exploration in North America. The discussion surrounding the map highlights ongoing questions about early trans-oceanic voyages and the interactions between different cultures.
