What other explorer's came to America before 1492?
Leif Erickson, a Norse Explorer came to America some 500 years before 1492. He founded colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland. Portuguese Maps drawn 50 years before 1492 show the coast of Brazil. Apparently English fishermen were fishing off the coast of North America before 1492. John Cabot checked out their reports. Thor Heyerdahl thought some hieroglyphics indicated that an Egyptian reed boat visited the Americas. He made one and showed that such was possible. Indications exist that Chinese explorers found North America.
