Vikings: The First Europeans in America | Archaeology | Episode 3

For centuries, Christopher Columbus was believed to be the first European to reach the New World. But archaeological discoveries and ancient sagas tell a different story. This documentary explores how Viking explorers, led by figures like Leif Erikson, sailed across the Atlantic nearly 500 years earlier, reaching lands they called Vinland and establishing a presence in North America.

Through experimental archaeology, reconstructed ships, and historical evidence, the film reveals how the Vikings navigated the open ocean and how their achievements may have influenced later explorers. From Greenland to the shores of North America, this is the story of one of history’s earliest transatlantic journeys—and the mystery of how it was nearly forgotten.
