Iceland Settled 200 Years Earlier Than Thought

New archeological research shows that Iceland was settled 200 years earlier than stated in the Book of Settlement (Landnáma), a medieval manuscript written by the original founders of the island nation.

Physicist Páll Theódórsson concludes the country was settled in 670 AD, not 874 AD, after exhaustive analysis of animal bones taken from Reykjavík and the Westman Islands.

The ten-year study shows that around 870 AD, settlements already existed in various places in Iceland. “Everywhere where people undertake studies to some extent remains are found that date back to 870 when Ingólfur Arnarson [known as Iceland’s first settler] is supposed to have arrived,” Theódórsson said.

“It is absolutely clear that the settlement is much older and therefore the Icelandic settlement must have begun some time before that and to name a decade I mentioned 670 as credible and conclude that the settlement is 200 years older than Ari fródi [the alleged author of Landnáma] says,” Theódórsson stated.
