The vikings reached north america in 5454 hoka
The vikings raided then settled
Five hundred years before Columbus they landed and settled in Greenland and Newfound land. So, they were in North America well before 1492.
The Vikings were the first Europeans to land in the New World, centuries before Columbus. However, the recognized discovery of the New World is in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, an Italian who sailed in name of Spain.
Most Vikings travels are finding new islands everywhere they go, some vikings travel to find new land. Leif Erikson actually was the first European to step on America, 500 years before Columbus.
He was the first European explorer before Christopher Columbus to land in North America.
no. It was actually technically the vikings that came first.
there was not enough land for all vikings so they decided to move to different countries and Columbus didn't find out America a viking did
new found land
In 1492
Clearly, a lot of people believed that Christopher Columbus discover North America but actually way back before Columbus, a viking named Leif Ericsson/Erik the Red, got lost somewhere around the coast of Greenland and soon sailed to shore at the coast of Newfoundland.BUT!!! The Chinese before anyone discovered it. Zheng He sailed to north america 70 years before columbus and before the vikings.
