Who found America part II?




The image I: Leif Erikson's statue in Boston

The founder of America is a mystery. But we know that Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506) was not the first European in America.  Neanderthal people traveled to the North America by following the isthmus that connected North America to Asia. When we are talking about the pre-Columbian journeys to America, we must realize two things. 

1) The journey to America is not the same as the regular journeys. Maybe some pirates visited New World a long time before Columbus. And that could explain why those pre-Columbian explorations are not told to people. That means those pirates or outlaws might rest in that land. And that means they wanted to keep it secret. 

In some other versions, the noblemen hide gold or pieces of jewelry that they stole from the crown to the New World. Out from the eyes of the king. It could mean very big trouble if somebody is caught stealing the king's gold. So the beaches of America could be good places to hide the gold taken without permission. 

2) The new lands were explored and marked to the maps when they were allowed to mark. And permission came from the ruler of the nation. 

So there is the possibility that the explorers put the explorations in storage that they would not cause disappointment for their financial supporters. And maybe those explorers sold the instructions where to find new islands to their friends. So that means that this thing was a very lucrative business. 

 And the main thing is that the maps were not so good during the time of Columbus as they are today. There was a possibility that the ships sailed out from maps. And maybe the skippers were not told that thing to the crew. And if that thing happened in the Atlantic Ocean the ship must only take the course back to east. That maneuver took the ship back to the mapped area very easily. 


Images II and III: Djoser and Yucatan pyramids

Europeans were active in America 1000 years ago claims new studies. The fact is that I presume myself that the Carthaginian admiral Hanno the Navigator (5th century BC) was probably one of the first sailors who might find America. That man lived in the fifth century BC. But the pyramid of Djoser that built during the rule of the pharaoh Djoser (c. 2670–2650 BC).

And its similarity with the Mayan Pyramids in the Yucatan peninsula is giving a tip.  Europeans or Egyptians knew America about 3000-2000 BC. So we cannot say that Columbus found America. The thing is that there is evidence that Leif Erikson (c. 970 – c. 1020) the son of Erik the Red (c. 950 – c. 1003) lived in Newfoundland in c. year 1000. But the thing is that there was suspicion that Leif Erikson was not the first European in America.

The thing is that the Egyptians, Sumerians, and Phoenicians might travel to America over the Pacific ocean. During those trips, those explorers could benefit the Micronesian archipelago. Or they might travel through the land to Angor Watt and then over the Bering Strait to the new world. So we know that Columbus was not the first man, who saw the New World. 

And in fact, that man ever visited on dry land when he traveled through the Atlantic ocean. There is the theory that Columbus bought the instructions on how to find the new world. And maybe that man once visited the new world before he offered the great exploration for his funders.

Who found America?




"Leif Eriksson Statue by Anne Whitney, erected in 1887 at the west end of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston, Massachusetts, the United States" Wikipedia


In SciTech Daily was an article highlighting. "Ancient Documents Suggest Italian Sailors Knew of America 150 Years Before Christopher Columbus" So where those Italian sailors got those documents? 

So who found America?


How Leif Erikson knew that return to home was safe when he lived in Vinland?


Who found America? That is an interesting question. Maybe we should ask how we describe the founded of America?  The thing is that the Son of Eric the Red, Leif Erikson (c. 970-c. 1020) was the man whose statue is in Boston was the first European in America. 

He lived a year in Newfoundland. But there is the possibility that his father Eric the Red (c. 950-1003) visited Newfoundland before his son. Eric the Red made settlements in Greenland and there was no long journey to Newfoundland. But the reason why Eric the Red hired that place was that his son must escape his enemies. So maybe the advice about the place of Newfoundland came to Leif Erikson from Eric the Red. The thing that Leif Erikson returned to Iceland or Greenland a year after the escape. 

Makes people suspect that somebody told them that the controversy agreed. So there must be some connection between Leif Erikson's settlement and his home. Or how that man knew that return was safe? The fact is that we just believe that the Vinland is Newfoundland. The evidence of that thing has been introduced the Viking house that is found in that place. But was it made by Leif Erikson? Or somebody before him.

But there are suggestions that even the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians knew America. The Chinese and Siberians may be traveled to America over the Bering Strait. And the fact is that there might be other more or less deliberate visits to the American coast and Antillian archipelago.

The German pirate Klaus Störtebecker (1360-1401) was also claimed to visit America but there was no evidence about that visit. The thing that supports this theory is that the Störtebeckers treasury is lost forever. There is the tale that Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506) was the descendant of Klaus Störtebecker and he followed the tale or some documents that Störtebecker. For supporting that theory is introduced the blond hair of Columbus. 

Columbus was born 50 years after the death of Störtebecker and that thing means that he could be a descendant of that pirate. Maybe he heard stories of that man and then realize that nobody remember Störtebecker. What confessed the funders that there was more than just some trees and mud in the new land? Were some documents were the thing that made funders confess that the funding that exploration was necessary. Somebody people are saying that Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) gave that money. But that well-known funder of some explorations died when Columbus was about 10 years old. 

If we want to describe who founded America we are facing a very difficult thing. In the time of Vikings and great explorations was no GPS and only skippers knew how to navigate. Maps were limited. And if the ship slip out of the map the captain would not tell that thing to the crew. Also if some pirates wanted to hide their treasury at some cost they might not know where they were. If we want to think about the relationship between Störtebecker and Cristopher Columbus we cannot ever be sure.  

Or maybe we should use the DNA test for making sure about that kind of story. Of course, if Störtebecker visited New Land and made some documents. There is the possibility that the Italian traders bought them from Hansa. The fact is that anyway, Störtebecker was not found America. That thing was made long before he was ever born. But were those European explorers Vikings or somebody long before them? Did somebody escape from Europe to that mysterious land? If that person exists there is the possibility that also ancient Romans or Phoenicians knew that area.
