@caitlinrgreen those Arthurian scribes DID get a bit carried away at one point :)
@EvansianI No, John Dee is clear: Arthur conquered North America/the Arctic, therefore the British have prior claim to it! Totally true! ;)
@caitlinrgreen we own everything really - we just haven't told everything ;)
@caitlinrgreen: Well, there is an Arthur legend here in Western Norway, about him visiting a cave with an ogre and a treasure :-)
@TheEliselise Oh, that sounds awesome! :) Any details online??
@caitlinrgreen: Will get back to you on that :-) #busyday
Well Pythaes included Thule as one of the Pteranodonl Isles.
Pytheas Pretanic I hate Predictive typing. It is compounded by glaucoma.
No worries, I understood! :) And yes, true....!
@caitlinrgreen I think it exceeds to the Baltics aswell. Wireland is propably Estonia which is Viro in Finnish? Cherilland = Karelia?
Well it's certainly true that a lot of Norwegians and Icelandic people are descended from British and Irish women...
@caitlinrgreen @jeboyt seems legit
