Sooo America found itself? Because it asked who discovered america and you said america found america.

JamesTDG · Answer

Order of events of discovery:
Sometime during BCE: nomadic tribes cross the landbridge between Russia and North America
Sometime before 1400 AD: Templars take a boat eastward to North America
1492: Christopher Columbus "discovers" America
Late 20th century: everybody fixes the history books to remove Columbus as the "discoverer" of "The New World"

America was a placeholder name, there was a man who had that name though. (think about it like how Australia got its name)

Rylee88 · Answer

Christopher Columbus Discovered America and named it. People say he didn't but he did, The Indians MAY have seen it first BUT they did not discover and name it but Columbus did. Therefore, Christopher Columbus DID Discover America.

Vikings and templars were in North America before though. There's actual artifacts from that time across Canada as proof. (Especially in Nova Scotia)
