America should be called Erica ( Archived) (36)

Norwegians are still very sad that America still honours the Italian Columbus, who arrived late in the New World and by accident, who wasn't even interested in New Worlds but only in spices, curry powder and hot peppers. And then they named it 'America' after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian who never saw the New World but only sat in Italy. In opposite, the heroic Vikings proceeded to get the credit for it some 500 years before and drew incredibly inaccurate maps of it. So they claim by rights, that it should be called after Eric the Red, who did the work, and therefore with these alternatives only:

- Erica
- The United States of Erica
- Erica the Beautiful
- The Erican League

Which one would be your favorite name?

looks like the Norwegians cam late

Actually these guys were here first...

[The Paleo-Indians and Archaic peoples

According to the best archaeological and geological evidence available, Paleolithic, mammoth-hunting families moved into northwestern North America sometime between 16,000 BC and 10,000 BC. In central Alaska, they found their passage blocked by a huge sheet of ice until a temporary recession in the last ice age that opened up an ice-free corridor through northwestern Canada, allowing bands to fan out throughout the rest of the continent. The earliest undisputed evidence of humans in the southwestern United States is a set of fluted spear points from the Paleolithic. Some scientists have proposed that small bands of women, men and children wandered across the deserts of southwestern Arizona en refuge in present-day Mexico.]

Just saying...

Sure yes, but all of theme have been conquest and “Christianised” after the Amen for the real first crusade by the Pope. And the survivors are in some ghettos now. The thing is that I cannot relay to any palaeontologist theory yet, the deviations in their theories are too big.
