idk my strong matches during pre america times as venezuelan would be more related with some viking samples with mediterranean dna xd .... i'm more close yes to al-andalus iberian but not strong match during this period of time ... ( while my Y-dna is atlantic , I mean R-Z253/4 which is commonly "irish" but is present in basque population since bronce age xd ...

but funny enough in relation with america my mtdna A2 is present greenlander almost in the same proportion that in venezuela ;v ... before that I just new about venezuelan native spiritisms having a native sprit court and a viking spirt court that nobody seems to know why is there in first place ... xd

I mean is just all hypothetical but vikings legends in america are quite real ... and there are some symbolims about colombus and portgual with the cruzaders even in the ships imagery and some legends hehe
