A wild 4,500-year ride through Greenland’s history. From the tough Paleo-Inuit hunters barely surviving since 2500 BC, to Erik the Red’s dramatic exile voyage and the rise and mysterious fall of the Viking settlements, the Thule Inuit expansion during the Little Ice Age, and Trump’s renewed push for an old American dream that refuses to die.
No fluff, just sagas, archaeology, medieval climate shifts, and a blunt contemplation on blood, soil and power.

1:46 - Erik the Red’s Neighbor Squabbles and the Marketing Trick That Named Greenland
4:55 - The Forgotten First Greenlanders Who Vanished From the Ice
