Did the vikings discover America?

In that the Vikings were met (and wiped out) by people, the 'Natives" who came from Asia, the Vikings were just the latest in a string of visitors starting in 12,000 BCE or so. There are also reports of Chinese voyages to the new world and Phoenician travelers. _______________________________ There are Irish legends of earlier travelers from Europe to America, but the earliest documented travel is of the Vikings. There is also some evidence that the Chinese may have visited what is now California many hundreds of years ago, but this is still disputed. Of course, the FIRST humans to reach America were the early nomads who came from Asia about 50K years ago.

When did the Europeans reach the Americas?

Usually 1492 is given as the year that Europeans- represented by Christopher Columbus- arrived in North America. This is because that was when Europe became fully aware of the existence of the continent, and had the technology and resources to exploit it. However, it is generally accepted that Europeans did visit North America prior to that time. Around the 1000-1100's, Vikings appear to have settled in parts of Canada. It is also possible that people were able to visit North America before then. There are claims out there that Phoenicians (people related to the ancient Jews who were originally from the Middle East but later also lived in North Africa and Spain), Chinese and Africans may have visited or settled in North America.
