off into the pot cost time at your can get send joined. As always, I sat right or Joshua Am Clark. Take how'd. You cited by phone your mind by burning questions, the attributes of a well. You know when we give little leading first. Will you don't pressure me here? Sorry, that'll. Get to the point. I know do I know you do I lived meandering, say alot. Have you noticed? I don't know if you ve no right to thing. Indeed. Yes, I like to say agreed: aren't we pass up? Well anyway? You, as you know, I wrote how cannibalism works recently, and one of the points in the article about Columbus, saying that he'd come again. Cannibals well, when he made a landing in the Caribbean, and he met some airway speaking people and supposedly another tribe that may or may not have actually existed. The cariboo were cannibals

the right and the whole thing, kind of reminded me of this. The I'm kind of irked only just put it this way, I'm kind of earth that we have Columbus day that this one, person is celebrated for this Bring America win Actually, you know Columbus may have been the first european to come across Amerika, but clearly there people already living there at least the airwaves, if not more people, and there were more people? Do you know about the Clovis people I deal now you do her. Dear supposedly day I took a land bridge meandered all the way down from up at me? What Alaska region is that ranger? That's all that's one thing they may have also come from South American going North were not entirely certain, but we do know is that you know these that human, been in North America at least four eleven thousand five hundred years, if not if our longer and being a very impure call people, we expect that the

dollars and scientists and anthropologists here report. These theories of America's First Discover: what have you produce? tangible evidence of their presence, and that's one of the things that elevates the Clovis and they could have been. The first Americans announced that they left behind little arrow had given as if they were there. The seller that other known in the cool just pop up out of nowhere and then disappear to know where their their arrowheads turn up in the fossil record and then disappear again in there, but very mysterious, but there I guess we know the clothes were the first people, but which way they came from is in dispute so there were already american Indians here went when Columbus arrived, and I think the thing that excite. My irish that you know people say Colombia. Discovered America when silly. Columbus may have been the first european to come across the new world, but even then he was only the first european. They go to Central America. When you talk

North America, you to say that it was a commodo, an italian explore who- she was. The first european to me land in North America. Did you know that I get? You did ok, so you could say it was Cambodia who is the first european to discover North America by that's wrong, is well actually as Europeans, to discover North America or the Vikings did. You know that is a fact that doesn't mean I don't either. I entirely agree with you, oh yeah, who is here before the vikings then actually Josh, some colors that there is a sea faring monk Ireland, one who made a before the vikings, I'm not sure that your Viking theory is all that fact to all ok, the Vikings left evidence behind at play. In in Canada think Nova. Scotia call wetlands are meadow. I think your your friends.

There is much better than mine right is that right, yeah soak a good and there was about thousand see right So, with this market come here We came in the sixth century and he was a rather ambitious monk. His name was Saint Brendan and he decided one day that he was going to be fine D. The promised land, the sort of exciting special place lungs, new existed in paradise. Earth and after seven years he found it, he found this land of it was. Ass. I lay full Landforms and Jan and fruits, rivers and volcanoes, and it was such a massive piece of land that, after walking across for forty days. They still aren't the other end of it gets in Kosovo. I mean this could have been anywhere right. Yeah, I could have accepted a marine biologist back and nineteen eighties found Patrick laughs, West Virginia than ever,

Are there rock carvings he found these rock carvings inscribed with a time Of ancient irish riding and when he turned decided at according to his rotation. I was a story of an activity which is what I now I now so, who else, but a seafaring irish monk, deeply penitent and religious would have carved into Iraq the story than activity So that's it! That's the irish monk beat the Vikings why, when it wasn't, everybody know this, because a lot of people are unsure of the accounts. You really trail, he wrote it back here, treaty about has travelled a month in the irish monk. Tat travel the same Brendan AM when people reading this back in the ninth century. They thought Frankly we sort of faction Universe That was pretty straightforward like the river. Is this long and wide according to my eyes, but there were other.

Fantastical detail. I would like, on he deliver communion on the back of away all Yankees, it could happen if the will. Very willing, yet a relative had those pretty still for communion by because it was so deeply infused with biblical reference says and allegories people worry inclined to believe because again it wasn't just empirical data. It told the story religious experience by it as far as the Vikings being in America. First apparently, there are reports that, when American Indian saw the Vikings it was sort of old hat did underlay. Yes, your white. We have seen people of your kind before

and you must have been the Irish. Apparently these people could speak languages. It sounded pretty similar to harass them. With the vikings have recognised the irish language they would have certainly would have because they live in close proximity to the Irish. Precisely I gotcha precisely bites where a lot of people, take real issue with a story is not necessarily by religion. It's about technology. They asked how could An irish monk have built see craft that would have withstood the rough waters of the sea? You make it all the way to North America. The vikings were, you know the earliest explores by all accounts they had like ship building down and, as far as I know, nobody really head. Oceangoing vessel up to that point. Before the vikings I mean how could in irish smoking gun The mere gets a pretty long voyage, and not taken the matter too much sort of reminder of an argument and other article that

searched and write about the Easter Islanders, and these were they polynesian, who fashioned very simple, dugout wooden boats and thirteen, Here is behind the Easter Islanders. Either they came from the Tipp of South America or they came from Micronesia to settle, trial and either way the really really long way away. If they came from the Tipp of South America, we're talking approximately two thirds. Two hundred ninety nine miles from Polynesia, we're talking about a thousand miles. When was this one where they suddenly at? This was about two centuries before Saint Brenda, awhile so again, as this is irrelevant point or not, because it is now the Easter Islanders would have been in touch with him, they want exactly pen pals, bites people thinking of seafaring technology. What's more when they travelled it was during the meal.

Of what was in Armenia like weather patterns, so they weren't in our of sailing. The placid see they were up against really rough winds and rainstorm and say Britain Shep would have been well that more complex supposedly was in areas of wooden frame that was covered in occupied and water proved with tar. So it would have been a that more stable than these people seek craft, and then there was a guy back, a nineteen seventy six to sovereign who decided he was. Trying to recreate the journey to see if it could be done in a very primitive craft. Did he make it? He did he did he dead in the same kind of both at Saint Brennan suppose, so it is theoretically possible that in Monk did make it to America, it certainly that is fascinating. I now I now and I have one more fascinating to bid for you and what time? To be honest, I don't you see this is that I'm part irish amnesty
