LENAPE HISTORY FACTS


The Lenape history starts in 1121 and reports major past events in the Lenape history.  There are 184 stanzas.  The first forty stanzas are Genesis.  The Bible can be studied to determine the meaning of the stanzas and pictographs. 
.
LENAPE LAND is the next 38 stanzas.  A majority of these stanzas have modern decipherment.  This segment of Lenape History covers the period from 1121 in Greenland to about 1380 near Lake Traverse on the Red River.
.
The remainder of chapter 4 and all of  Chapter 5  have not yet been deciphered, but the pictographs and  deciphering of selected words have enabled a general understanding of the history.
.
These statements based on the oldest American history (OAH)  are supported by evidence or testimony.  Where practical the evidence is linked to the statement.

Roman Catholic Erik Gnuppson, nicknamed Henricus, created the OAH about 1121.

Gnuppson visited Wynland (pronounced “Vinland”) near Ulen in western Minnesota.  He may have developed the first two chapters of the OAH at Wynland.

Gnuppson may have followed the Lenape traders down the Mississippi and then up a tributary to the Atlantic Coast.       
     There is a place called "Henricus" near Richmond, VA.
