It took a long time to discover the west because back then they did not invent the car or the airplane or train all they had was horses and boats (ships) And when you are riding by boat or horse it takes a longer time plus Christopher Columbus And the vikings had some struggles along the way when they discovered the west it was long after discovering other things like the indies people like that so on the way they could have been side tracked or something on there way to find the west
