    What is a "pyperbally"? Do you mean hyperbole (extreme exaggeration)?

    I still don't see how it was a hyperbole though.

    The Little Ice Age destroyed these colonies, unfortunately... It would funny if large amounts of Viking warriors and later on knights from other European countries came to the Americas and fight native tribes... Colonization in the Middle Ages!

    That doesn't very likely 'cause at some point in the 11th century they lost their interest in colonizing, but they wouldn't survive for long...

    Why wouldn't they survive? As the first to colonize, they would surely become very powerful and be a challenge to the other Colonial empires.

    Then they leave colonies, but then return after it gets warmer.

    no they don't, they were there all year round, what really drove them out was the natives.

    in america they gave the native americans milk which they had'nt had before, they developed allergi to it and thought it was poisen, so they attacked the viking settlement.

    they were beaten off but the vikings realized that they could live surrounded by enemies so they left.

    on greenland the natives were competing with the vikings for food which was not plenty.

    so the vikings starved to death then left the colony

    So they come back in force. Hypothetically, would that work? I'm pretty sure the native population of Greenland couldn't have been THAT high.

    I think there was a possibility for them to become successful, by pushing it.
