Dr. Myron Paine began six years ago to write a fictional story of the Norse people who vanished from Greenland about 1350. The more he read for background knowledge, the more he became convinced that the Norse people had walked on the ice from Greenland to America.
He created Frozen Trail web site to present the hypothesis of Norse walking to America in the Little Ice Age.
In the process he found two major pieces of written evidence: the Walam Olum, a 600 year old historical account of the Lenape (Delaware) and Shawnee Indians, and an eight volume set of books with 15,000 comparisons between the Algonquin language and Old Norse.
But he also became aware that people from many other cultures visited ancient America. He has often presented a speech entitled, The Many Model: Many people came to ancient America in many boats from many places at many times.
Recently Dr. Paine was surprised to discover that the 15,000 comparisons could decipher every word of the Walam Olum. The decipherment implies that the ancient Indian history was created by people speaking Old Norse, the Walam Olum does describe a migration across ice, and is authentic.
