History..! VinlandMap Introduced ..! 10 October 1965..! The #VinlandMap is claimed to be a 15th-century mappa mundi with unique information about Norse #Exploration of #NorthAmerica..! It is very well known because of the publicity campaign which accompanied its revelation to the public as a "genuine" pre-Columbian map in 1965..! In addition to showing #Africa, #Asia and #Europe, the map depicts a landmass south-west of #Greenland in the #Atlantic labelled as #Vinland (#VinlandaInsula)..! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bov5NtuAAB4gOvE_MtpbkKl0ajnXV_2W8cr-Xk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cooue66i902c
