Searching for Vinland: Rune Stones, Relics and The Canadian Saga

In this intriguing episode of The Eh-Soteric Archives, Andrew and Mike dive into the enigmatic Wawa Rune Stone, discovered in Ontario in 2018. This episode explores not just this remarkable find, but other evidence of early Viking exploration in North America. Suggesting that the fabled Vinland may extend far beyond what we previously imagined. The conversation shifts to the broader implications of alternative history and its potential to rewrite the “approved” narrative. They address how the old world’s conversion to Christianity influenced the retelling of these stories, and the lens in which they were viewed. The episode ends advocating for a more nuanced understanding of these cultures and stories, urging listeners to consider them as reflections of genuine beliefs rather than mere fantasy.
