A case in point:
Erik.
Several iterations:
Erik The Red (pretty catchy soubriquet though, you must admit)
(the wife) Thjodhild
Leif Eriksson
Ari (couldn't spell) The Wise (but still a good-ish handle)
Satan kicked in at once. Red Indians bought up ancient Norse stuff at auction, buried it for a hundred years in mud, dug it up
. . .
What museum would not go into convulsions rather than miss out? Then there's the maps. Look it up any time you like: Norsemen did not make maps. They composed sagas. Abroad in their boats, they'd sing the sagas and retrace the paths of ancestors by starlight. Still a map, done by modulations of the air recorded in brains (we're told) rather than lines lines on paper, for sailors so much more enduring.
But purchase an actual 10th century map and scrape off the ink to do your own map? Simples!
Who doing this or contributing to the fraud adored Odin, Wodin or a thousand ugly devils.
