In order to provide both historical and political cover for Thule , the capital of the Greco-Roman Empire in
Greenland, a number of different places and people have been given the name of Thule. For example,
Thule or New Thule is the main town in the northern part of the Qaasuitsup , Greenland. Its name was
recently changed to Qaanaaq in order to dispel the notion that the mythical Thule is located in Greenland.
The Thule People , which are the ancestors of all modern Inuit peoples, allegedly reached Greenland by
the 13th century, settling in Thule or New Thule. Interestingly, modern historical accounts state that the
Inuit were in contact with the Vikings , confirming, albeit in a de facto manner, that the Greco-Roman
Vikings emanated from Greenland. In 1 775, Captain James Cook allegedly discovered Thule Island and
Southern Thule , giving them the name of Thule because they seem to be at the end of the world.
Allegedly located in Greenland, Thule Air Base is the United States Air Force 's northernmost base. It was
reportedly the location of the 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash as well as Thuleqate , a political scandal
concerning nuclear weapons. Needless to say, these Thule-based names, especially Thule Island and
Southern Thule , were given in order to confuse humanity in respect to the true location and nature of
Thule.
