Battling Nelson, this is kinda unrelated but i thought you might find it interesting and perhaps haven't heard of it, i haden't until recently.
There are some Petroglyphs in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada that had always been claimed by Indians, recently researchers have begun to attribute them to Vikings instead and place them much earlier than it's almost impossible to believe.
there are over 900 of them
Some exerpts from the page
"However, there are several other theories of the date and authors of the remarkable petroglyphs:
Retired Harvard professor Barry Fell believes the petroglyphs are inscriptions by a Norse king named Woden-lithi (Servant of Odin), who was said to have sailed from Norway up the St. Lawrence River in about 1700 BC.
Mayanologist David H. Kelley viewed the petroglyphs and declared that some of the symbols were European, dating perhaps to ca. 1000 BC
According to Andis Kaulins and Megaliths.co.uk, the petroglyphs are a sky map of the heavens from c.3117 BC based on European tradition; they have nothing to do with Native American traditions."
" One solar boat — a stylized shaman vessel with a long mast surmounted by the sun — is typical of petroglyphs found in northern Russia and Scandanavia."

TBH I can hardly believe it. The Viking-age and the days of the longships that enabled the scandinavians to travel is believed to have been between 700-1100 after christ.
If what you quoted gets proven it will mean some re-evaluation of the scandinavian history that's for sure.
Interesting stuff.
