Reply to Electric conversion of bus by Shiara-rose
[this video] (https://youtu.be/rTkqg1Dzax0) covers converting an old Ford truck. It'll give you an idea of how complex and expensive of a problem it is.
With the weight of the bus you would need a lot of batteries, which make it much more expensive as well.

The Norse weren't raiding in the 1400s though.

How long did these coins typically stay in circulation?
Is it likely this is evidence of some level of trade network that existed from northern Europe to the indigenous people in Greenland? And from there to Newfoundland?
Or is it more likely this arrived at some point after 1497?

Reply to Are there any busts and sculptures found from the Byzantine empire that are post Arab invasion? by gayfantasia
I am not an expert but I suspect it is due partly to the iconoclasm periods, where religious art was actively destroyed.

You're on the right path but ISIS was over a decade after that.
Related is when occupying Japan after WWII MacArthur was sure to integrate the former Imperial military and avoided that issue. Bush, as a student of history, should have known about that. Especially given his father's WWII experience.
