[00:19.97]They achieved this long before Columbus [00:22.72]ever set sail. [00:24.67]The Vikings were a group of people [00:27.19]whose ancestors came from Scandinavia. [00:31.11]They controlled the seas [00:32.85]and coasts of Northern Europe [00:35.56]between the 8th and 10th centuries AD. [00:39.55]BY around 900 AD, [00:42.15]there were many places in Northern Europe [00:45.06]where the Vikings chose to live. [00:48.24]In 982 AD, when a man called Eric the Red [00:54.09]decided to set sail further west, [00:57.05]there were as many as 10,000 Vikings [01:00.39]living in Iceland. [01:03.10]According to the old stories of Iceland [01:06.08]and Norway, Eric the Red [01:08.37]was forced to leave Iceland [01:10.61]because he had committed a murder, [01:13.14]for which he got into trouble. [01:15.34]Eric reached Greenland and discovered [01:18.33]that people could live in the place [01:20.63]where he landed. [01:22.98]He returned to Iceland and told people there [01:26.32]about Greenland. [01:28.34]He persuaded some people to go back [01:30.56]with him to Greenland. [01:32.90]Eric set sail once again, [01:35.32]this time with 25 ships, [01:38.37]of which only 14 made it to Greenland. [01:40.97]
