No, Christopher Columbus did not discover Africa or South America in 1997. Columbus was an Italian explorer who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Americas in 1492, long before 1997. Africa is a continent that has been known for millennia, and Columbus never set foot on it during his expeditions.
He was the first European explorer before Christopher Columbus to land in North America.

DUHHH! they started everything! because we (Navajo and other Indians) started out in America first before Christopher Columbus came. We learned how to grow things and started villages. But when Christopher Columbus came, he needed help so we taught him all that we knew then he took over and made us become slaves and used us. So basically we started out America.
