维京人比哥伦布早470多年登陆北美

An ancient solar storm and some wooden remains from old Nordic village prove that Christopher Columbus was not the first non-Indigenous person in North America. New findings show that Vikings landed on the continent 1,000 years ago, and hundreds of years before Columbus. Researchers were able to determine the date Vikings were present by analyzing three pieces of wood from three different trees that had been chopped by Vikings at a national historic site in Newfoundland, Canada.

一个古代的太阳风暴和古北欧村落的一些木质遗迹证明，克里斯托弗・哥伦布并不是第一个到达北美的非原住民。新的发现表明，维京人在1000年前就登陆了该大陆，比哥伦布早了几百年。研究人员通过分析加拿大纽芬兰省一个国家历史遗址中被维京人砍伐过的三块不同树木的木头，得以确定维京人出现的时期。
