Re Blood Types

Very good investigation into this cover in a programme called "Blood of the Vikings". Turns out that blood types throughout Scandinavia and the whole of the British Isles is pretty much the same.

"The Brendan Voyage" is a good read, although all it does is proves that the journey COULD have been made it in no way serves, or offers up any proof that it was made. Unlike the voyages of Leif Ericson who did leave archeological evidence that they did sail from Norway to Iceland to Greenland to North America.

Another good book to read which provides a great deal of interesting background is "Safeguard of the Seas".
