Answer 2

The Land Bridge

Over 40,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, the ocean level dropped because all the water was locked in glaciers. As a result, the Bering Sea between Asia and North America dried up and became a 1,000-mile-wide tundra land "bridge" between the two continents (more than twice the size of Texas). About 12,000 years ago, when the climate warmed up, the glaciers began melting, and the early people could make their way further south between the mountains of ice.

The Paleo-Indians

The Paleo-Indians ("paleo" is from a Greek word meaning "old") crossed the land bridge and, over time, spread out over the entire American continent…all the way down to southern Chile. At first, they hunted wild animals for food and clothing, including the woolly mammoth. The Paleo-Indians used tools and weapons made of bone and stone.

Answer 3

Gold, land and the fountain of youth, also they had found some trading partners in Aisa and didn't want to fight the Portuguese all the time so they learned they could go across the American continent at the narrow area down by Panama, haul freight back and forth and have boats on both sides and avoid the Portuguese who were more powerful at the time.

Answer 4

I heard they wanted a party bag of Chee-tos and a six of Amber Lager.

Gold. The Fountain of Youth. Fame. Discovery. Conquest. Power. Or maybe they were just bored and needed a change of pace or scenery. Really there's no one answer. Some wanted to go. Others were no doubt ordered to go and weren't all that thrilled.

Their mission was to seek out new worlds and new civiilizations. To boldy go.... oh no, that was Star Trek....
