Why yes - I think they discovered Idaho somewhere around that time I
believe. Also Japan and Peru.
Well I am glad we know who really discovered America. The vikings,
not Columbus. Well, if you ask the Indians they would say they did.
But I won't split hairs. And aren't they offended if you call them
"indians"? And isn't the word "they" offensive when referring to an
ethnic group? Forget it I am going boating. : )
Viking/Norse, but they didn't last long, the settlement died off.
Newfoundland I think. Should have picked a nicer place down south like
Plymouth.

Isn't it fairly well proven that the first settlers in the Americas
wandered over from Asia when there was a land bridge connecting it to
what is now Alaska?


Nope.

Vikings discovered the land bridge.

Those guys really got around.



Ahh, the Asian Vikings. The ones who ended up in Minnesota and also
invented football. Thanks.
