Who really discovered america?

bloodpack · 01-14-2003, 12:36 AM

this is really annoying, i mean im not american but our school curiculum tells us we need to study other nations' history

i mean its doesnt make any logical sense since we cannot apply this knowledge to our daily living

do i get a high paying job if i know who killed napoleon?
do i get a beautiful girl if i know why brutus killed ceasar?
do i get a brand new car if i know why the egyptians oppressed the israelites?

anyways, who really discovered america?
is it columbus, americus vespuci, the vikings...

da indians did they were there first

Vespucci

And i know how you feel: I had to take a year of British literature and a year of World Literature in high school. When the hell am I gonna use the Tragedy of Oedipus, Japanese poems, and Shakespeare in my future?

none of the countries were really dicoverd since there were allways people living in them...but in the time that columbuse found out that america existed people still though that the earth was flat and because of that they only new about some countries

If I reiterate his statement, it would read like this:

"Which european explorer made America known to the rest of the world." Ppl are too literal about "the native americans were here first, so it wasn't discovered...yadda yadda...

indians lived here be4

but Cristobal Colon was the one who declared America when he came here..

asshole · 01-14-2003, 01:40 PM

Yes, it was the Native Americans..

And Christopher Columbus declared it!
He was going to the country "India" to get some spices, but his men were dying so thy landed on the first Island and declared it!

so are you guys saying the first discoverer of your country remains unknown? and your country was only REdiscovered by some nutshell?
