Christopher Columbus is regarded as the person who brought the Americas into the forefront of Western attention. It is not that he first discovered the Americas, it is that he was the first one to stay, besides the Native Americans.
Ptolemy's world map dates from the 2nd century A.D., Columbus made his voyages in the 15th century A.D.
