Fun fact; The god Quetzalcoatl was described as a man with fair complexion, beard, blond hair, with knowledge of various practices such as agriculture, goldsmithing, navigation and astronomy.

I've def wondered the same thing. We now know history is quite incorrect and giving credit to whom, is rather difficult because many ppl are to ignorant for there own good nowadays.

[@DrakariZargon]

@@RepubliKING Absolutely, but in this case i doubt it was a norsemen, could be but like many stories of aztec/mayan culture is 80% fiction. If you wish to know a little more , find the book Popol Vuh.

Cannot understand the fact they haven't made a movie about Leif and his discovery yet. I know there's an animated film, but (apart from having a terrible animation), depicts Leif as a kid and has fantastical elements, so it's as faithful to historical events as the animated Titanic movies.

No Europeans discovered America. Asian nomads from Siberia discovered America about 30,000+ years ago. Who discovered Europe? I did a few years ago.

[@-RONNIE]

That is so true other than Native American tribes the Vikings were the first outsiders to come to the America.

[@alicerivierre]

I think that's the more appropriate term. Vikings were the first outsiders/non-indigenous people to come to America. I hate it when people claim they "discovered" America - it grinds my gears.

[@-RONNIE]

@@alicerivierre I appreciate the comment but Native American is a correct term or you can just say the tribe. I'm mostly Irish but both sides of my parents are Irish & 2 different Germanic tribes also on my father's side there's Cherokee

[@alicerivierre]

@@-RONNIE sorry about that. I've been arguing with some people over who discovered America, and obviously the Native Americans are the ones who discovered it first, hence the term "Native". Wait, so is "Native American" appropriate?

[@andrewyerian214]

People can argue all they want, it’s still a discovery. Natives discovered it first. Old Worlders discovered it later on. To discover something means you find something you never knew about, therefore, Leif Erickson discovered America several centuries after Native Americans discovered it.

[@andrewyerian214]

@@alicerivierre Nobody is saying Europeans discovered it first. Nobody is implying that. I stand by what discovery means and nobody is going to change that.

Why do you think I said nobody is saying Europeans discovered America first??? Because it’s fact and I already knew that from my elementary school days. It’s like you just ignored the first two sentences of my last comment. If you read everything I said, you would have understood what I said. I will say this for the final time. Discover means you found something you never knew about. It applies perfectly to what happened, despite Europeans discovering the land centuries after Native Americans discovered it.

How can he discover something when thousands of people already lived there?

[@alicerivierre]

Thank you! That was the point I was trying to make! There's a lack of logic of people saying "Oh Leif Erickson/Christopher Columbus discovered America", negating the fact that people have already lived here for thousands of years. It's nonsensical and illogical in a holistic, anthropological viewpoint.

[@andrewyerian214]

To discover something means you find something you never knew about. The Americas were unknown to people from the Old World, so, the Americas were discovered when Old Worlders found it. That’s literally what it means when people say Leif discovered America.

[@andrewyerian214]

With that said, that doesn’t negate Native Americans discovering it first. You can discover something that was already discovered.

[@alicerivierre]

@@andrewyerian214 I still acknowledge the fact that Native Americans were the first to discover America, not Leif Erickson, not Christopher Columbus. All that stuff about the Vikings and Columbus "discovering" America is nothing but white-washed history. What about Native Americans? Don't they matter in history? I mean that just something everyone should consider in a holistic perspective, not just Euro-centric or White-centirc.

[@andrewyerian214]

@@alicerivierre Nobody said they don’t matter. Nobody said Europeans were the first to discover America. Discover means you find something you never knew about, so it is perfectly logical to say Leif Erickson discovered America.

Well, technically, Leif Erickson never discovered America. It was already discovered by the Native Americans. I honestly don't understand why so many people still give credit to the Vikings (and Columbus) for discovering America over people that have already inhabited the land for thousands of years - it just doesn't make any sense to me. Bottom line, the Native Americans discovered America, not the White European men. I am so tired of arguing with people over who discovered America, or who got here first. If anyone has a problem with that, I just won't speak of the subject anymore. Apparently half of us don't get it, and I’m tired of arguing with people over this.

[@baus370]

Native Americans walked ( still impressive ) to the americans where the vikings needed to travel over the oceans wich was unpresidential.

The Native Americans live in America first as well as the Moors that happen too be Black as well as Mexicans who own most of America are who lived on America first. Columbus and the Vikings did not discover America. Since Black People,Native Americans and Mexicans live and own America first. That means that the Vikings and Columbus didn't discover America.
