Yes, the thought that Columbus was the first to discover America is false. Vikings landed in Newfoundland many decades before Columbus and kept a society there for about ten years. Many years ago people had to travel by foot to get from place to place unless they were wealthy and could afford horses. Due to this and the fact that the printing press was not yet invented meant news barely spread outside a community, and if it did then it was often not very far. That is why Columbus is credited with the discover of North America.
