He was the same as they both attended the same classes in college. Over a period of several years, she became a super model and then rose from the high fashion runways to the top of the company that hired her. It was recognized that she was to become the top operations chief that caused the explosive growth and profit of the company. In a company shake-up, she emerged with 51% ownership and thereby a billionaire. His passion was the science of archaeology. He became an expert in his field and received international acclaim. They married each other while still in college and were divorced not long afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch later, she formed a partnership with her ex-husband whereby she made huge charitable contributions to their archaeological ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vikings roamed Scandinavia, first in trade, and then in marauding. In the 7th to the 11th centuries, the Vikings became the dominant power from the Volga westwards, across Europe and then across the Atlantic in the Arctic. They were known for placing settlements on the Faroes, on Iceland, on Greenland and also on Newfoundland. The author and many others believe they placed settlements further south than Newfoundland, which placed them in America more than five centuries before Columbus. In following the adventures of the Vikings, we speculate the routes of their expansions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir inquisitive nature sent them to all parts of Europe and much of America. Since this story follows them, it has something approaching a historical travelogue. The underlying explorations define the Vikings and who they were. This makes the case for their further settlements, perhaps as far from Newfoundland as Long Island and Quebec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack R.
