Secrets of history. Part 3

Did the Vikings open America?

The Norman version of the discovery of America is being voiced more and more often, however, the Columbus version is still official. In both of them, it is interesting that both times America was discovered by mistake (a Scandinavian trader named Bjarni Herjulfsson lost his course because of a storm, and Columbus sailed to India). Materials on the Norman version are much smaller than in the Colombian version, and not all of them are considered authentic, which greatly undermines trust in it.

Who were the Hyksos?

They are called "shepherd kings". It was during their reign in Egypt that a two-wheeled military chariot appeared that changed the tactics of fighting. We know little about them. Hyksos - nomadic tribes, "rulers of the desert mountains", invading Egypt around 1700 gg. BC. e. They ruled over them for more than 100 years and even founded a whole dynasty of Hyksos kings. Expelled from Egypt, Hyksos was only the founder of the XVIII dynasty by Ahmose I in 1587 BC. e. The question of who exactly Hyksos was, where they came from and where they disappeared, remains open.

Why did the Neanderthals die?

The human and Neanderthal genomes are approximately 99.5% identical, but this does not mean that we are descended from Neanderthals. With monkeys, we have a similarity in the genome of 98%. Contrary to the popular belief that the Neanderthals were semi-savage, they were not. It was a fairly developed evolutionary branch, they even knew how to make musical instruments. Versions of their disappearance are as follows: 1) Assimilation; 2) The genocide of the Cro-Magnon people; 3) Ice Age, which they could not stand, because they could not make clothes as useless. None of these versions is yet scientifically legalized.
