Western experts —> “No Europeans arrived in America before Columbus … and that’s FINAL!!”. Hmmm, me? I think that’s bullshit. This interesting (but, long) article is for history buffs, and for those who want to broaden their general knowledge. In other words, it’s not for “BL”.

Representation of Vikings in South America. Source: Nejron Photo
Here is presented the widely dismissed account that probably sometime in the mid-11th century, Danish Vikings from Schleswig and the Danelaw (as ascertained from runic rock inscriptions) arrived at Santos in Brazil and proceeded inland to Paraguay. From a fortified hill near the Brazilian border, they occupied a defensive position for some part of two centuries, keeping watch on a nearby small mountain. It has been reported that in the 20th century, beneath the mountain under observation, was discovered a large area whose walls and roof are built of concrete unknown to science and cannot be opened but are believed to conceal a network of tunnels. The following unravels the story presented by just a few advocates, of Vikings in South America. Like so many of these tales, it needs further investigation to enable verification, but nonetheless, it provides food for thought.
The Vikings in South America
Academic historians generally do not admit the presence of European visitors to South America until after the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Therefore for them, all talk of Vikings travelling anywhere south of Nova Scotia before 1492 AD is not even hypothetical but pure fiction. In order to maintain this pretense, historians have found it necessary to discard what might be to others common sense and replace it with a preposterous theory. The best example of this is: The Case of the Bundsö Sheepdogs .
It was the custom of the pre-conquest Incas to be mummified with their dogs. A variety of dogs found in graves at Ancon, Chile, by Professor Nehring in 1885 was analyzed by two French zoologists in the 1950s who determined that this variety could not be descended from the wild dogs of South America. They matched them to Canis familiaris L.patustris Rut of which numerous skeletal remains have been discovered, all at Bundsö on the Danish island of Als/Jutland.
The anatomical coincidence being deemed perfect, the difficulty then lay in accounting for how these Danish dogs got to South America before the Spanish Conquest . The French scientists got their heads together and decided that: “the Danish Vikings must have given some of their Bundsö sheepdogs to Norwegian Vikings who took them to Vinland. When the Norwegians were ejected from Vinland by the natives, the dogs must have been carried from Vinland to modern Canada where they must have been passed from hand to hand ever southwards by tribes which did not want them, involving travel by land and sea and then climbing mountains into Peru where they were adopted by the Incas.”
This nonsensical explanation was the only scientific theory available, that is, that would fit with the accepted history of the finding of the Americas. But if that account were wrong, a more common sense explanation might be that the Danish Vikings brought the dogs with them when they sailed to South America from Europe in the eleventh century.
The Viking Protectorate in Paraguay?
In 1085 AD, King Knut II had 1700 ships for the “western expansion”. For the greater distances involved, a special type of woolen sail, which had been developed for greater speed and sailing much closer to the wind, as proved in experiments by Amy Lightfoot with the Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde. Strangely for Europeans so far from home in the 11th century, the Danish-Schleswig Vikings in this account seemed to know exactly where they were heading.
They came ashore at Santos, Brazil, found the path which had been long previously prepared, and made their way on foot to uplands located at Amambay, 25 kilometers (16 mi) south-east of the modern town of Pedro Juan Caballero in Paraguay.
The Cerro Corá is a ring of three small mountains five kilometers (3 mi) across. Three kilometers (1.9 mi) north of this ring is the mountain Itaguambype , which means ‘fortress’. Long before the supposed arrival of the Vikings, it had been hollowed out to make one, hence its name.
The anthropologist who investigated the area in the 1970s, Jacques de Mahieu, was a French – Argentinian anthropologist and leader of the Spanish neo-Nazi group CEDADE, who has proposed various Pre-Columbian contact theories, and claimed that certain indigenous groups in South America are descended from Vikings. Through his observations, he decided that, at some indefinite time in the past, the construction’s purpose must have been some kind of military observation post large enough for a settlement or a refuge.
The low mountain Itaguambype lies on a north-south axis. It is two kilometers (1.2 mi) in length and one hundred meters (328 ft) high. The ex-fortress is a section cut off at the south end, 300 meters (984 ft) long with a 20-meter-wide (66-ft) opening for access. The sides are of natural rock, a quarter of the way up from the ground with above it blocks of unequal-size, stone tailored to fit together perfectly smoothly in the manner similar to anti-earthquake walls in Peru and Bolivia.
Along the crest a 3-meter-wide (10-ft) flat path runs; at the southern extremity is a platform with the ruins of a round lookout tower raised 5 meters (16 ft) above the crest for a panorama of the entire territory but particularly Cerro Corá. The fortress would have been abandoned either in about 1250 AD, when a native rebellion succeeded in expelling the Vikings, or earlier, once it had served its true purpose.
Of additional interest in the area is the Norse temple at Tacuati excavated in the 1970s, and the fact that the total of engraved runic inscriptions in Paraguay runs in the thousands and exceeds that of all Scandinavia: 71 have been translated from the South American Futhorc dialect. One 5-letter runic inscription was found inside Itaguambype but has defied translation.
700 Years Later – Fritz Berger Investigates
Fritz Berger was a 50-year-old mechanical engineer, a native of what was then the Sudetenland. He admitted that he suffered mental disturbances from time to time. He wandered South America doing odd jobs, and during the War of the Chaco between Paraguay and Brazil in 1932-1935 served the Paraguayan Army in one of their workshops reconditioning captured enemy weapons. From 1935 until 1940 he stated that he prospected unsuccessfully for oil deposits in the Brazilian State of Paraná, but more likely in this period he gathered the information leading to the investigation which followed.
In February 1940, Berger crossed into Paraguay at the Pedro Juan Caballero border post and contacted the Army of Paraguay. Simply as a result of what he told them, they agreed to form a company with him known as Agrupación Geológica y Archaeológica (AGA). A clause in the agreement stipulated that the treasure trove was the property of Paraguay. The Paraguayan signatory was Major Samaniego, later the Paraguayan Minister of Defense.
At the heart of this contract was the Legend of the White King of Amambay. The tradition relates:
“In those days there reigned in this region a powerful and wise king called Ipir. He was white and wore a long blond beard. With men of his race and Indian warriors loyal to him, he lived in a community situated on the crest of a mountain. He possessed fearsome weapons and had immense riches in gold and silver. One day however he was attacked by savage tribes and disappeared for ever. That is what my father told me, who had heard it from his father.”
The reader should note here that King Ipir was never identified, and his followers “disappeared” and there is no suggestion that they were massacred.
Berger had a female correspondent in Munich to whom he wrote occasionally describing the developments in Paraguay, possibly for passing on to the German government, and copies of these letters passed into the possession of de Mahieu much later for inclusion in his book. In May 1940 Berger wrote to Munich mentioning that he knew of tunnels in the Cerro Corá area “130 kilometers long” (81 mi). By October 1941, he had drawn up a plan of the subterranean installations and sketches of four tunnels, including careful measurements but insufficient information to identify the locations of the various entrances.
The Mysterious Bald Mountain and Impenetrable Slab
On another day in 1940, based on mysterious information he probably brought with him from Brazil, Berger “happened to notice” a great rock forty meters (131 ft) in height in the direction ten kilometers (6 mi) south-south-east of Cerro Corá. The rock was in two parts and covered in dense vegetation halfway up. For this reason the natives called it Yvyty Pero – “Bald Mountain”.
Berger’s secret reasons for wanting to dig there convinced Major Samaniego to set up a permanent military encampment with wooden houses within twenty meters (66 ft) of Bald Mountain, and he also renamed the range of hills “Cerro Ipir”. Once his sappers began excavating, to their surprise they reportedly found “a piece of gold in a triangular shape, which appeared to be the broken corner of a table” and “a walking stick with a gold head.”
After that the rainy season set in, impeding progress by flooding: the excavation was suspended once all explosives available could not damage a great slab of reinforced concrete encountered at the level of the mountain floor eighteen meters (59 ft) down. At this point, de Mahieu leaves us guessing what happened next in the year from “the end of 1941” until “the end of 1942” during which time the Third Reich became involved and appears to have agreed to send to Paraguay a special kind of pneumatic drill. We know this because in November 1942, US agents reported to their naval attaché at Montevideo the arrival of a German U-boat at the Argentine naval base of Bahia Blanca and this coincided with the unexplained visit there by Major Pablo Stagni, Commander-in-Chief of the Paraguayan Air Force, known to the Americans as the German agent “Hermann.”
Following this ‘coincidence’, according to Berger, in December 1942 work at Bald Mountain resumed. The Paraguayan sappers worked into the mountainside obliquely to connect with the vertical shaft. At 23 meters (75 ft), they encountered again the huge slab of concrete, which could not even be scratched by the drill or explosives and was now described as “a definitely artificial material harder than reinforced concrete and unknown to science.” After further attempts in 1944 were thwarted for the same reason, the excavation was abandoned. Fritz Berger died in Brazil in 1949. This part of Amambay is inaccessible today as a military area.

Conclusion
So, to tie together this theory, using legend, possible runic evidence, and Nazi involvement, long before the 11th century, the rich and powerful white king Ipir and his followers, unknown to the world’s historians, inhabited the crest of the mountain fortress Itaguambype. When attacked by an overwhelmingly superior force of natives, Ipir and his court retired to safety below Bald Mountain. Perhaps the Vikings were sent to Amambay later to protect and oversee the installation of the impenetrable concrete roof and sides over the portal below Bald Mountain.
What is interesting about this story is that all the main actors are hiding something. All academic historians and scientists, some knowingly, adhere to the apparent lie that no European reached southern America before Columbus in 1492. Therefore, “no Vikings could have been there”. Fritz Berger never revealed the source of his information about Bald Mountain and the network of tunnels extending cross-country from beneath it, but when he crossed into Paraguay from Brazil he knew for sure exactly where he was going and so did the Paraguayan Army.
The author, anthropologist/archaeologist Jacques de Mahieu, an outcaste from the scientific fraternity for having been an officer in the French Waffen-SS Division, perhaps revealed much ‘hidden history’, they would prefer he had not mentioned. Decades after the war, the SS oath he had sworn bound him, and there were still official German secrets with regard to which he was obliged to remain silent. Therefore in his book, he omitted any mention of the year 1942 and details of where the pneumatic drill had come from.
The Third Reich was in the middle of a major war, which it was already in danger of losing. Its outcome depended on the Battle of the Atlantic, yet they could spare a U-boat to detour to Argentina with a pneumatic drill for an archaeological dig in Paraguay. Probably they did not care two hoots for King Ipir and so their interest was in two things:
(i) They needed the tiniest chip of the reputedly impenetrable concrete roof and walls of the underground refuge for scientific analysis to obtain the formula.
(ii) They needed to know where the tunnel beneath Bald Mountain led? Was the mountain one of the portals into the Vril world or similar?

THE END
I’m just going to be skeptical because of the source and elaborate nature of the theory.
There are plenty of theories about white men in South America, it’s kind of the ignored part of Thor Heyerdahl’s motivations. Personally I care more about North America, but even that isn’t as important as the history of Europe being lied about, rewritten, or paved over.
There is also talk of east Africans reaching South America in reed boats:
“There is also ample evidence that Sumerians were in South America, which they called Kuga-Ki. It was here that the Sumerians mined tin and other minerals. East Africans probably learned about Ecuador and Peru from the Sumerians. During the Arwe and Axumite empires, Semitic or Puntite speaking Ethiopians traveled to South America.”
Crossing the atlantic in reed boats was also a Heyerdahl theory/experiment. But Sumerians traveling there for mineral acquisition makes no sense.
How much gold could a U boat carry?
There is nothing greater than a Viking. Hell, “King” is even in the name.
Of course my pride wants to agree. We assume you mean (besides God) and by “we” I mean the royal we.
Yes. Btw, the greatest super hero of them all, Thor, is a Viking.
Your absolute fanboi stance is embarrassing. Control yourself.
Really? Tell it to Tull.

I thought this fake but then remembered this was posted some time back about canuk wimins.
Then why have they vanished? Have they all gone to Valhalla? lulz
exactly were they are, nothing to scoff at junior
LOL, maybe Iceland… any ideas why that little rock produces the strongest men on earth… Because Vikings.
An American Indian about a hundred years ago wrote a book with lore passed down from her grandmother telling about how a white benevolent race had disappeared from North America some generations before.
I don’t feel my people need any justification to be here, but I thought it was interesting.
Yes. There are lots of legends with a white race, and hey were red haired. Some say they were also giants. There is much modern man doesn’t know of ancient history.
Notwithstanding all the archaeological evidence to the contrary, that Nordic settlers were here as well as Aleutian, far before the Indians came up from the South, there is an underlying reason which is never mentioned, mainly because it defies the climate change narrative.
The fact is, the Earth was in a mini Ice Age, which lasted until almost the 16th Century; it is no coincidence that the Renaissance and all the advances made in human development blossomed after the end of this event (and are still going on today). As recently as 1,000 years ago, North America and Canada were covered with a still-receding glacier, in which only the hardy could have survived, so stories of giants with red/blond hair are understandable, from those smaller people who lived in the warmer climes. You can still see this in the genetics of Whites today.
Whites are all descended from those humans who lived in harsher, colder conditions — probably by choice. I mean, can you imagine wanting to go live in ass-biting cold, dreary places, if given an alternative? Obviously, those who wanted to remain pure White separated from those who would stay behind (this is true in all countries), and the ones who stayed intermingled with the darker savages and became street shitters, while others practiced black magic blood rituals and child abduction and financial malfeasance. Given these circumstances, it is clear why some White people decided to go where the others would not follow.
Having said that, I still detest cold weather.
Whites don’t come from the land of the street shitters, but they did go there and rule them and pollute themselves out of existence despite religious laws.
It is because we came from a place without them that we had no immunity to those blood ritual child sacrificing usurers. Even their religion was sold to us under false pretences.
I did not say Whites came from the land of street shitters, I said the street shitters were what was left behind from those Whites who chose to not miscegenate; in other words, the children of the mudsharks.
But you are correct about corrupted religion; this happened centuries ago, but like the rest of this insidious plan this head of the Hydra only showed itself when the rest was ready to go.
If we followed the example of our Israeli rulers, we would not only have built a wall but expelled all foreigners by now. They are the Chosen Ones, why do not all Christians follow them?

Shades of “Curse of Oak Island”.
Not true. There are theories from academics and historians about previous discovery by the Vikings, possibly Phoenicians, Egyptians (nicotine and cocaine found in mummies), Chinese (possibly anchors found off of American coast), and even English fishermen. If you change your wording to “Many academic historians…” then I would agree.
Yes, and the Egyptian artifacts found in the Grand Canyon.

Stucky- Why pick on me, I have written many times of proof of cultures/peoples from Greece, Minoans, Joos being here LONG before Columbus. Remember the jooish survey stones here at least 1000 years ago? Yup, wrote about that old pal. I’m working on tax crap I need to get finished for corp. return. The IRS sucks DDD.
“Stucky” is a midwit.
You are much too kind John. My pal Stucky is narrative challenged.
Do you believe Phoenix, Arizona (located at the 33rd parallel) is named for the resurrecting bird?
Could it be named for the middle eastern seafaring Phoenicians (Tyre and Sidon of the Levant) (also located at the 33rd parallel)
Is Sedona, Arizona named after Sidon the city/state of the Phoenicians?
The Arizona Hohokam “indians” (300-1500 AD) created miles of cleverly engineered canals in Phoenix for crop irrigation.

From your link:
The principle of Plate Tectonics is regarded as the greatest success story of modern geology and almost everyone has seen depictions of the supercontinent, Pangaea. We are assured by scientists that positions of the continents have been “accurately determined” back to the Jurassic Period, which ended some 145 million years ago. Some claims go back as far as 200 million years. Invariably, proof includes South America attached to Africa like a Siamese twin. This never happened.
The first three asteroid impact sites important to my story are:

I have family in Kansas who have been there 5 generations and who have had lots of access to private land. Much of Kansas is limestone, even the fenceposts are made from this soft stone.
Stepdad has seen many rock carvings depicting Viking type European people carved into the stone. Central Kansas prairies are his stomping ground where he had access to large swaths of private land, not seen by anyone since the days of homesteading when it was parceled out to settlers from prior nomadic Indian tribes. Just about nobody has ever walked this land; there is nothing out there and no reason to.
Lot of fossils and dinosaur stuff too. Kansas is more interesting than we were told.

I have developed an easy way to decide if I click on an article here on TBP. I scroll down to see who the author is, if it’s “stucky” I keep going.
Works great, then I don’t click into the churlish, moronic meanderings of an absolute midwit.
Look up “midwit”, “stucky”, describes you to a t.
You couldn’t hold Stucky’s jock strap.
i don,t know this “stucky”, but why do you want to hold his jock strap ? Oh i see
Yeah, but we found another one and that alone was worth it.
Also, it might blow y’all’s minds to know that the Egyptians were in the Grand Canyon area long before the Vikings set foot in north America.
We been lied to just a little bit when it comes to history…and everything else.
Uniformism is what takes place between catastrophes.
Wyrd. I do the opposite. If the author is Stucky, then I usually read it. They’re usually informative, funny, or thought provoking…and sometimes they’re for men only – but that may not apply to you, John.
He often gets a lot of comments, so I guess that speaks for itself.
John Carte?
Hilarious trolling.
“Blah blah blah easy way, blah blah stucky”
Comment section too boring?
Spice it up with some rando rude comments
Guaranteed to bring out the replies from those people unaware they are about to be emotionally drawn into the gravitational pull of made to order theatrics.
very inneresting the vikings were intrepid explorers so i don,t doubt this at all
Ok, just what proof that the Vikings ever used and made concrete ? Odd that there’s no record of it that I know of.
Impossible that vikings went past NS during that time. Everyone at that time knew the earth was flat and the edges weren’t defined yet so sailing off the edge was very high in probability. And contraty to lore the vikings weren’t risk takers and loved sitting by the fireside telling tales of tatting doilies. Others following embellished the stories to what they are today. True story
This is impossible because according to the flat earth theology, North and South America don’t exist. Nothing exists outside of Europe, North Africa, and Asia according to the flat earth theology.
