Even further, in southern New Hampshire there is a site called "Mystery Hill" whose layout closely resembles that of ancient Celtic worship grounds. There's a story from the local Native Americans about a tribe of red headed and fair skinned people that mysteriously showed up one day and left shortly after in almost as mysterious a fashion. There's also theoretical evidence that the Phoenicians were here well before any of these folks could have shown up. And 10-50 thousand years ago, a group of immigrants ritefully claimed this land without actually claiming it...years later, other people had a different idea about that.

I'm surprised no one has picked up on this yet. It is my understanding
that Lief Erickson, the second son of Eric the Red, did land in North
America in Newfoundland. Erickson and Columbus both "discovered" lands
that had already been discovered and occupied for centuries. But the
inhabitants weren't European so they didn't count.
