Only because the Vikings didn’t stay.


That’s pretty important.

Do you think that the Vikings never intended to stay? Vinland seemed set up to be prosperous. I believe they left because the noble savages forced them to.


Most historians and archaeologists interpret it as a seasonal settlement. That’s also the way the park rangers who oversee the site interpret it. It’s certainly possible that they intended for it to be more permanent. However, the Norse explorers who built and inhabited that site left us very little to go on. Hence why its existence was semi-legendary for almost a millennium.
