Think of it..people have crossed the Atlantic in crude Kon-tiki like canoe -ish replicas, so whay did it take huge spanish galleons do make the discovery?
Do you think ancient romans made the trip? Considering they had
advanced technology, and they found Roman coins buried on the east coast.....don't you think that a disdinct possibility?
Also, some say that ancient Celtic tribes from Ireland made it
to America? Some say they did around 600AD, and that there was an Indian tribe they formed that the colonialists encountered, with red hair, which could only have come from the european landmass.................................................
so, was Columbus just the last in a long line of european discoverors(I didn't even mention the norsemen, which would be another whole book, though they ebat Columbus by almost 400
years(1100-ish)
