Well if they're just going to make up shit, I'd expect something like "Vikings met the Aztecs and taught them civilization and were then worshipped as gods", not "the Vikings got their asses kicked by Mayans and were never heard from again, except for this one mural where it shows Vikings as prisoners being drowned in the ocean."

The article seems highly suspect to me, a few hours ago I noted that it contains inaccurate statements about historical metalworking. That I caught that mistake makes me suspect there are other errors I didn't catch. But to insinuate some white supremacist motive without evidence doesn't make any sense to me.
