Who still believes today that Christopher Columbus discovered America? This does not even take into account the numerous people who had already populated the so-called New World for millennia when the Genoese miscalculated at the end of the 15th century and casually declared the Caribbean islands to be the West Indies. No, it was around 500 years earlier that the first Europeans set foot on North American soil. The question should rather be how it was possible for this fact to remain almost unknown for such a long time. "The Ways of the Lord" describes how it might have been. Powerful interests have tried to keep this knowledge to themselves. Their problem: There exists a map from a Viking chief that reveals information about the hidden paradise in the West and has been passed along through winding paths time and again.
