Did the Ancient Greeks Sail to Canada?
Scientists claim the civilisation travelled to Newfoundland and set up colonies to mine gold in the 1st Century nearly a millennium before the Vikings

The ancient Greeks could have reached Canada in 56 AD – almost a millennium before the Vikings.
This is according to a controversial study that claims Hellenistic Greeks had such detailed knowledge of astronomy that they were able to pinpoint Atlantic currents that would propel them west.
This idea is based on a study of the text ‘De Facie’ by Greek biographer and essayist Plutarch, who lived between 46 and 119 AD.
A character in the texts recounts meeting a Greek stranger who had recently returned from a ‘great continent’ – and scientists say this may have been Canada.
Powered by sails and oars, they may have regularly visited Newfoundland, mined gold and set up colonies that thrived for centuries, the study claims.
However, there is no concrete evidence of these trips and many historians and maritime archaeologists have dismissed the work as ‘unfounded’.

‘Our intention is to prove, with modern science, that it was possible for this trip to be made,’ Ioannis Liritzis, an archaeologist from the University of the Aegean told Hakai Magazine as part of an in-depth feature on his research.
These early settlers may have travelled for the sake of finding new lands or riches, researchers say.
They believe some travellers would return home after a brief stay but for others the trip was one way.
Researchers acknowledge that they do not have evidence that these trips were made but believe they were possible, as suggested by the writings of Plutarch.
Plutarch wrote more than sixty in-depth biographies of famous Romans and Greeks, detailed in his writings of Parallel Lives.
This theory is based on evidence from Plutarch’s work De Facie, also known as On the Face Which Appears in the Orb of the Moon.
In this work, which became familiar to classicists during the Renaissance, characters discuss whether the moon is another Earth, whether it has life, and other philosophical questions.

Minoan Greeks had been there much earlier. They were the supreme naval power in the Mediterranean.
Viking ships are derivatives of Mycenaean ships as are Greek ships and they had figureheads. The Argonautica specifically states that Greek ships had figureheads and that the Argo was exceptional in that it his its figurehead facing towards the inside of that ship.
Take a look at the murals of Mycenaean and Minoan ships and you will see that they share the same common design as those of the Vikings and everyone else including the Romans all the way until the end of the middle ages. They were not surpassed until the 16th century.

Dragon ships: The English word Dragon derives from the Greek word Triakontoron which means a 30 oared ship also know as a Triakonter. Dragon is a corruption of Trikontoron or 30 Oared Ship. The teeth were the oars. The sown men were the sailors.
Historically Dragons were characterised as winged sea serpents. That is exactly what Trikonters looked like. They had a bow with a figurehead on it, a stern with a tail and the oars moved up and down in unison like wings.
In Linear B spelling Trikon is spelled using exactly the same consonants as Dragon. D and T are the same sound in Mycenean Greek.
The dragon's head was the figurehead on the Trikonter. The dragon's wings were the oars beating up and down as the ship was rowed. There were even Trkonters that breathed out Greek fire.
The same analogy was used for the Hekatoncheres. 100 hands meaning the hands of the fifty rowers inside a Pentaconter. A Hekatoncheri was a 100 handed (or 50 oared boat) boat.
They were all built with figure heads like the Argonautica. All the Viking ones had dragon heads, and as we all know the Vikings originated from Troy (Asgard) according to their own historians.

They had oars and the site states all boats looked like this until the middle ages. Those are the dragon ships.
On top of this Eusebius and Jerome both state that the oars beating up and down in a ship were an allusion to the wings of a bird which is why Icarus and Daedalus were said to have flown away from Crete when in reality they actually fled on a ship.
