This is one my favorite articles so far! I loved every word. Fascinating history interwoven with modern science. The video of the arrival of Lord Minto was extraordinary! What a welcome to Ottawa! Far more dramatic than yours. You continue to delight with superb writing & storytelling. I’m so glad you were inspired toward this newsletter journey! Thanks for it all!
Dense and filling, this is a fascinating story about Vikings. Including charts, maps, short movies, and lots of pictures. What’s not to like? Thanks! 👏🏻👏🏻
I loved this article, Alexander. Like a meandering stream, it flowed. The history of how the invention of the steam engine led to the current expanding water crisis was very interesting. And, I enjoyed the story of Greenland and Erik the Red. It was riveting. The end was a smash! All we need to know has already happened, it is so true. We can look to history in order to guide ourselves well into the future. I used to compare Rome and its fall to the USA. Now, I can look to Greenland and its history as a warning and preventative measure.
Thanks for that interesting video of Canadian history. Although Canada may have had a more mild winter, we were not that lucky. It does make spring even more welcome.
Good morning Alexander, I like this read a lot. Somehow I'm always intrigued about Vikings. I hope what happened to the peoples on Greenland will not stay a mystery for long, because finding more will be very exciting.. The Smithsonian article is a gem.
I have read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. I enjoyed his videos. It covers history for the last 13,000 yrs on the human movements, and at times why they failed. If you have not seen his videos, perhaps you can find some time . . . (-:
