A question:

had the ancient natives of America discovered the rest of the world? had they known at least Africa, or had they never left their continent? I have read somewhere they may brought some Africans to their Continent.

BTW, though Columbus wasn't a Jew, one of his translators was. *historical tidbit of the day*

it doesnt matter what the turks say, what the chinese say, or what the portugese say!

as long as we are talking about america being discovered by the east (europe, asia, etc... excluding the native americans), it was the vikings that first discovered it!

i dont even know why we still give the credit to columbus.

Okay here is a rumor: Ancient Egyptians had contacts with Native Americans...

I actually had seen a tv program was quite intresting:

Firstly the pyramids but more convincingly it was discovered that egyptians used tabacco when making mummies... but it goes on and on in the end there were native Americans there and even before that there were actually these weird guys made of single cell were there in the first place.

I disagree (starts researching) , 

 --sounds silly...--  

 

excluding Native Americans Viking were there first.

 I wonder if they commit any genocide against Natives but on the other hand I think Natives probably kicked their butt if they even tried it!

Personally I discovered America in 1969.

Everything else is hearsay.

Hello!?!?!?! the native americans were there first. It was not really discovered, because there were people already living there!!!!

well it's much better to call today's Americans "the discoverers" rathern than "the invaders", don't u agree?

Andalusian Jews, Portuguese Jews same difference. I usually say Portugese when I'm talking about Christians, after the reconquista, and andalusian when I'm talking about muslims or jews in iberia. Besides andal is just vandal, with an accent.

Any stories of Morroccans or Malians have not been proven (even though I know no such stories). And andalusian Jews are not Muslim. Besides, those involved were Portuguese Jews. The Chinese admiral sailed in charted seas and any evidence that he sailed to America is so far, shaky.

I can say one thing with confidence. Lots of people have been to america. Columbus wasn't the first. Ericsson wasn't the first, the chinese weren't the first, the morroccans weren't the first. If someone told me that the great sengalise empire of 6000BC was trading with the americans, I wouldn't even blink an eyelid.

This is ridiculous; the sequence of events, conserning discoveries, are:

15000 years ago - Asiatic peoples move into the Americas through the Bering Strait (next to Alaska)

1000ad - the Vikings get to North America

and ofcourse 1492 with Columbous.

All of these have rather simple, and logical explanations.

I never heard of this story, but it is quite obviously nothing more than a nasty rumour.
The Germans are innocent.

They did? I find that rather ironic, because we have evidence of Nordic settlements in North America around 1000 AD. Whereas this 'news' would place the Muslim Turks at around 1500 AD. Funny, but, last I checked, he's wrong.

There's a difference between 'discovery' and 'useful discovery.' Finding out that orange and red are two different colors doesn't do much good in unto itself. When you start combining that knowledge with other things, like incorporating both orange and red into new designs or colors, you really get rolling.
