Bjorn, we Australians speak English too. Even if at times listening to us speak may convince you otherwise.

Ah, you're right in fact, even if in your own wild way.

Still, I think it would be wise to contexualise any translation a little bit less Norwegian ;D

My friends allow me to draw your attention to this:

No, not the video...the comments.

Christopher Columbus and the Flat Earth is brought up again...and except for one or two instances, the majority of commentators rightly point out that the "Flat Earth" story is a myth and that the Medievals knew the world was round.

Hooray! They're learning!

For anyone who played Age of Empires II, I remember seeing a screenshot of 3 galleons at the corner of the map, all water, and the caption read "So, Columbus, any other bright ideas?"

Congratulations Bjorn! Your book sounds great (I love the cover)! Your doing a great job ensuring that true history becomes understood by all. Unfortunately, I cannot read Norwegian.
