Vinland Map Vindicated!

February 3rd, 2010

Vinland Map Version_1_333kbIn school we were taught Christopher Columbus discovered of America in 1492.  Historically it is as firm a person, event one can historically get.  Like a rock! Columbus discovered America in 1492.  However many “evidences” have been presented attempting to dethrone the traveling Italian’s honor but nothing, no ancient stone works, mysterious coins with dates before his arrival or Egyptian like hieroglyphics etched in stone found in the mid west can have the strength of argument to over turn such a deeply held prized event until mid 2009.

The Vinland map has been known since 1957.  Written on parchment and ink the map shows the outlines of Europe and parts of Africa.  However as you scan to the west your eye easily recognizes Iceland and a bit more to the left and there is Greenland traveling across the ocean we see…New Foundland?  What is a section of North America doing on a map carbon dated at 1440?  That’s a half a century before the Queen gave Chris the green light for his own gig.

The latest analysis completed by the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts announced July 17, 2009 that the map is real, not a hoax. That may make some uncomfortable as one significant piece of history would need to be rewritten. This map adds another piece of evidence that the Vikings were perhaps the first to “Discover America” as early as 1000 A.D.  Yale University currently owns the map.

A reproduction of the Vinland map can be purchased in our store here.

October 31st is the Last Night to See the Chupacabra

October 28th, 2009

Well friends it’s been an incredible ride. All of October hundreds have experienced Chupa-Mania at the museum. People have been mildly shocked when confronted with the Blanco Chupacabra and all the supporting photos and videos displayed. But all good things must come to an end or is it the end. As we wait for DNA test results a producer of a famous TV program is “knocking” on our door. We opened the door and wouldn’t you know there is a serious science show on these critters in the planning stage.

For those fortunate enough to be in the proximity of Phoenix, NY, this is the last chance to see the exhibit. Saturday October 31st. 2009 from 6PM-9PM. FREE candy for the kids and a pair of Chupa Fangs for all admission ticket holders. Here’s the DIRECTIONS

Media Posts on the Chupacabra Exhibit

October 7th, 2009

Chupa BannerChupa-mania is a slow growth process here in the northeast. The hispanic community has  had chupa-fever for 3 decades and in the  southwest especially Texas is a hot bed of carcasses and sightings of these strange animals.

Media sources are picking up on the fact that the Smithsonion does not have the worlds first taxidermy “chupacabra”. As the remains are about to undergo 600 hours of extensive testing next week, the good people of Central N.Y. are beginning to hear, for the first time, that  hard to pronounce word in spanish translated into english as “goat-sucker”…Chupacabra.

In an attempt to create a small abstract of the media coverage into the mysterious mammal I’m including the links here.
