I had heard about Medieval Dungeons and I found one. Here I am captured in the Medieval Museum in Stockholm. 

They had a map of the ROUND world before Columbus. I said I thought the world was flat then! Mom told me that the Greeks had already figured that the earth was round and were only off by a little. She said the Spanish government was worried about Columbus not making it because the ship could not carry enough to feed everyone and it would be a suicide mission. It all got mixed up with Washington Irving, who wrote Rip Van Winkle,  he also wrote a fictional story of Columbus...Then it GOT IN THE HISTORY BOOKS!

It's interesting that we are all related. The boys Victor and Johan are Ingrid and Lar's children and Marie is Anders and Helena's daughter.
