    Which Biblical Characters do you believe existed?

    "This raised the intriguing possibility that the Icelandic C1 lineage could be traced to Viking voyages to the Americas that commenced in the 10th century." It is a very strong possibility. There was, of course, a Viking settlement at L’Anse-aux-Meadows in northern Newfoundland. The hostility...
