According to the Santa Maria's ship records, Columbus was lying prostrate on his bunk (suffering with ghonerrea) at the time of sighting land in 1492. A ships' prostitute called Phil McKraken whose role was to service the needs of frustrated sailors, was named as the first discoverer of the New World. He sighted a headland whilst in the act of servicing an officer and the news was communicated to Columbus the next day.

I heard it was actually a lover of Phil's. This gentleman lived on the South Coast of England, and after his discovery of America, the queen of Britain at that time named an English county after him.

His name was Ben Dover and worked along side Mr McKraken whilst serving under Christopher Columbus.

The story continues to explain how Ben Dover was then commissioned his own part of the land of America. This place he named San Francisco and the legend of Ben Dover and Phil McKraken continues to rule there most Saturday nights.

As an area American, our oral historic past says that we emigrated in the course of the Pacific ocean in what should be, via the Christian calendar, June 10, 10,990 B.C. after an extremely good tidal wave and next flood. Neither Columbus nor the Vikings "stumbled on" our land. Our ancestors traded with the Egyptians and the Romans. there is actual data of that: numerous historic Egyptian mummies have South American cocaine of their structures. historic Roman funds are nonetheless cutting-edge in American streams each now and then. Our thoughts even say that we traded with a collection of dwarves who lived on an island and acted like little ones. each man or woman reported it had to be fantasy till many years in the past, at the same time as scientists got here upon the bones of a collection of dwarven survivors of a race of pre-adult adult males that lived till about 10,000 years in the past. The idiots who say we did not have the technologies to go back and forth the sea have not in any respect considered a real drugs wheel and found out a thanks to apply it. they offer the effect of being at slightly of crap that vacationers purchase and picture it really is the authentic element. Dumb@$$es. In a real one, the string and weight on the bottom is a plumb. The Iolite stones around the sting change colour in accordance to the route they're pointed in. The sticks that are connected to the again should be used to confirm elevations; it truly is why the stones are connected at even areas, so as that turning the wheel shows elevation. the load on the bottom is magnetic, like a primitive compass. it really is amazingly similar in some techniques to a Celtic flow. regrettably on your ancestors, the Celts for some reason not in any respect look to have found out what it grow to be used for, or they could have found out that there grow to be a miles better effective climate on the different part of the sea. P.S. Our legends say that there have been already people the following before us. They compelled us to leave the West Coast and settle inland.

Your lovely prostitute Phil was not the first to discover the new world either. Viking history is where you need to turn. You may also enjoy reading Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States."

I don't know where you got that info about the prostitute from, but it is unlikely that women were on the ships, anyway, he is thought of as being the first one because of the documentation he made. He wrote in journals the things he saw and nautical distances, etc.

Columbus was in command of the fleet, that's why. America had been discovered before by Vikings (Greenland and part of Canada), and of course by Indians long before that

The sanctimonious European mind set of the time. "To the victor go the spoils.." as well as the right to write history however you see fit.
I don't think "Phil McKracken" was a real person.I think it was the phrase "fill my crack in" that got all convulted. They were probably referring to putting putty into dried out, spilt areas of wood. Yeah, that's the ticket.
