Since King Woden-lithi made a voyage in about 1700 B.C. from Scandinavia to America to trade with the Indians, you may be wondering why his people didn't keep coming to America?
Big Freeze Ices Over Bronze Age
King Woden-lithi and his people, or any other people, did not return to America's shores for quite some time for one simple reason. The earth's climate got a whole lot colder at the end of the Bronze Age. That was when the north polar ice cap came into being. Sailing westward after the King's voyage from the north became hazardous if not downright impossible. The weather just didn't warm up enough for that kind of site-seeing
until right before the glorious Viking period. Then, of course, the Americas were visited again.
Another factor for the lack of return visitations
concerns the metallic copper in North America. That resource had just about been depleted, making such a venture not very profitable. Just how it became depleted, and by whom, also brings up a multitude of questions. Did the local Indians use it up or had there been visitors to the area prior to Woden-lithi's visit? Of
course the vast forests in America were probably a
temptation for trade with the Native Americans but the size of the ships at the time may well have put a splinter in such a venture.

After Woden arrived in America and set up shop
he started doing his writings on huge rocks. It was then that he made an interesting discovery.
