    You people are so stupid.

    God's true chosen children traveled over here on the land bridge. Some of them have red skin because they were cursed by God after murdering their brethren. Get it right.

    Columbus did considering it was never called "America" until his navigator, Amerigo Vespucci, thoroughly documented the "new" continent for the Europeans and it was thereafter called "America". The natives knew it as something else, hundreds of other names, perhaps.

    Because we don't have keyboard with fancy accents! So we use silly anglicanized names.

    I always thought Odin sent one of his Valkyries to lead the Norse across the Atlantic to the Holy Land.

    it would be good btw. a gain for one, and a [well-deserved] humiliation for the other.

    EDIT: ah yes, this link and others can be found. it's not evidence yet, but it suggests that i ain't making up bull.

    It's been confirmed that Vikings landed in North America roughly a thousand years ago, but the original disoverers would be those who gave rise to the Native Americans.
    Christopher Columbus just gets mentioned so often because his was the first well-documented European expedition to the continent.
