Who discovered America?


Recommended Posts

The history books claim Christopher Columbus discovered America. If that's true how come there were hundreds of thousands of folk already there?

 

The vikings were chilling out there that's all.

It's not true and most history books no longer make the claim.

 

The Vikings (may) have arrived in the Newfoundland area previously.

 

The group now called amongst other things Native Americans crossed over via the Bering Straight much earlier.

 

However even then they had to 'displace' previous inhabitants. When they arrived and especially how is open to some debate.
