Yale University says the matter is settled on its controversial Vinland Map: It's a fake.
But the map faced almost immediate speculation that it was a fraud from others in academia. Turns out they were right, and it all comes down to the ink.
A recent analysis conducted by Yale's own researchers found that ink used in the map's lines and text contain a titanium compound that wasn't made until the 1920s, so it most certainly was not made in 1440, as some folks previously believed.
