The Vinland Map is a fake

The Vinland Map, once hailed as the earliest depiction of the New World, is awash in 20th-century ink. A team of conservators and conservation scientists at Yale has found compelling new evidence for this conclusion through the most thorough analysis yet performed on the infamous parchment map.
Acquired by Yale in the mid-1960s, the purported 15th-century map depicts a pre-Columbian “Vinlanda Insula,” a section of North America’s coastline southwest of Greenland. While earlier studies had detected evidence of modern inks at various points on the map, the new Yale analysis examined the entire document’s elemental composition using state-of-the-art tools and techniques that were previously unavailable.
The analysis revealed that a titanium compound used in inks first produced in the 1920s pervades the map’s lines and text.
“The Vinland Map is a fake,” said Raymond Clemens, curator of early books and manuscripts at Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, which houses the map. “There is no reasonable doubt here. This new analysis should put the matter to rest.”

Not much. People have suspected it was a fake ever since it came to light when Yale purchased it.

Antique Tiger would buy it.

Doesn’t matter. There is actual physical evidence of a pre-Columbian Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows. We know they were here. Don’t need no stinking map.

And native American history as well as archeological evidence of fair skinned giants in North America

How do we know someone didn’t just trace over the lines if they were fading? That’s what I would have done.

They really don't want us to know how interconnected the world actually was in the ancient past.
Shame about the map, but, it doesn't change that Columbus knew damn well he was going to find land to the West. Fishermen love to talk.

This.
And Pre-flood, the world was a LOT smaller because there was much less water in the ocean; sea-level was 350 feet lower than it is today.
