Doug,
I suggest that you learn how to read works of History and how to analyse
what's said and what's not said. I suggest that you read it carefully and go
on to the sources mentioned. You did get the file(s) two days ago(?) from
Goran. Didn't you? You haven't spent 1/10 of the time needed by any given
scholar of History before you try to dismiss them.

Give up. Origin document still exists no matter when the works about it were
written. It's definitely 100% certain that Ivar Bardson did collect a
silvered coconut bowl from Vinland North America 1364 to the Papal
Collector. You can't run away from this, you know. Nothing you say or put
forward can dismiss this. You better accept it.

Inger,

Let's say Bardason did collect the bowl from Vinland. What
evidence do you have that it would have been _made_ in Vinland?
There was trade between Europe and Greenland; and if Vinland
were as vigorous a colony as you seem to believe, then there
would have been communication between Greenland and Vinland.
Why do you insist that the bowl couldn't have come from Europe,
where these things were to be found at that time, and wound up
in Vinland, to be collected for the tithe and _returned_ to Europe?

Has the silver in the bowl been analyzed to pin-point its
origin? Or don't you know about this?
