For generations, academicians have rammed down the throats of students that no one came to the Americas from Europe before Columbus . . . except for a few Vikings in Newfoundland for a generation or two. This “irrefutable fact” is obviously a myth. All of the Pre-Columbian symbols found on the Track Rock Petroglyphs in northern Georgia may be found on petroglyphic sites in southern Sweden.
You were not told that the Windover Pond People (Bog Bodies) in Florida were Sami from Scandinavia and that Bog Bodies of the same age are found in eastern Sweden, Finland and Karelia. Our family carries their same DNA markers in addition to the Mesoamerican DNA. However, it is obvious from the petroglyphic and linguistic evidence that peoples from the Nordic lands continued to arrive in eastern North America long before Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Life is like a tapestry
I took the color slides at Palenque (1970), Nyköping/Bornholm (1972) and Tula Rosa (1976) thinking of them of records of where I had visited , without any clue that they related to my own heritage. For decades, my most vivid memories of the time working in Sweden, were those wonderful weekends, when Britt and I . . . sometimes also her friends . . . frolicked, picnicked, hiked and yes, skinny dipped around the ancient Bronze Age petroglyphs on Ven Island at the edge of the Oresund Channel. Five decades later I realize that it is quite possible that humans, who frolicked at the same locale 2,500-4,500 years ago, could have ended up living in the region, where I live now.
