A little history/geography quiz

hmmm leif erikson? As for the right location but wrong name I have no idea what other name it goes by.

Sorry, when I said wrong name, I meant Olaf the Great was the wrong name. Newfoundland is correct, though there is evidence, not conclusive, that this was what the Vikings referred to as Vinland.

Leif Erikson is correct. Interestingly, Erikson was Erik's son, which is why they called him Erikson.

Erik the Red was a renowned explorer in his own right, I think it was he that discovered Greenland, but it was his son who first landed on North America.

Evidence of this discovery was first found in 1960. By all indications, the Vikings did not stay long.

CGM, the first Europeans to set foot in the Americas in fact the first people were French. That is now a certainty, from a region south of Lyon.

Do you know any more? If you have a link pass it on. It'll be interesting to determine if they were caucasian, how they got here, and where exactly they settled first. I'll have to dig a little deeper. Thanks for the info.

No idea on this one, but I certainly look forward to hearing their reasons, as well as what made them think it could be changed.

p.s. I assume you mean pi, and not pie
