So did Vikings discover America first ?

They sailed there and were met with locals. It's doubtful they ever sailed back from there.
Wyatt Cox
I don't have the photos but there were legends of a sky tribe made of large great warriors with blonde hair and blue eyes. I think they were in the Andes too which makes sense seeing where they came from.
Caleb Morales
I'm pretty sure the Native Americans discovered it first.
Levi Cooper
>So did Vikings discover America first ?
Yes but they got rekt by Indians
>Post Pre-Colombus theories.
I think it's likely that Polynesians made it to South America
Anthony Gray
They left after being disgusted with american tipping culture
Isaiah Flores
>Yes but they were a colony who's benefit was less than the expenditure to keep it running
FTFY
Without more colonists coming from the Norse lands the locals would begin to assimilate into the local population, just as did Roanoke.
It was used as lumber to supply another failing overseas Norse colony, Greenland, so it never had investment in Vinland anyway.

Ah touche.

>I think it's likely that Polynesians made it to South America
Considering that they made it all over the pacific ocean to just a few dozen miles away from the South American continent. I too think it's highly possible they made it.
Evan Hernandez
yes

Interestingly, it was his father, Erik the Red, who discovered Greenland
Austin White
From Madagascar, to New Zealand, to Taiwan, to Easter Island.
Austronesians are crazy man.
Benjamin Gray
>Austronesians are crazy man.
Or plain stupid.
Jack Perry
The Irish and Welsh discovered it before Columbus and the Irish before the vikings
Lucas Rogers
yes
>Show up
>Try to raid for gold
>No gold
>Natives keep harassing
>Fuck this lets go home
That was about it.

America was discovered by Asiatic migrants passing hrough the Bering landmass.

It takes very skilled navigation to find some of those tiny islands in the middle of a vast pacific.On the thread topic, there's a legend that refers to an Inca ruler going to Easter Island if I'm not mistaken.

Polynesians discovered America first. And migrated from South America to the United States. Not to be racist, but Polynesians look the same as native Americans and have similar cultures. Meanwhile the Inuit crossed the land bridge from Asia. Pic related is 100% Asian Inuit qt.
Christopher Collins
But that wouldn't make them native Americans, no?
Luis Brooks
If you're going there, the only native humans are Ethiopians, who after thousands of years of steamy interracial sex, are not the same people anymore.

There are studies that natives in South America, in particular the Amazon carry Australian genes in them, though not all of them do. There's likely been multiple migrations from the bering straight, and across the pacific ocean by island hopping the kelp infested ancient oceans. There were also migrations within the Americas going north to south and south to north.

I know a lot about this subject, gonna lay out everything humanity knows.
polynesians splashed some genetic material into central/south america sometime between 1300 and 1500 AD. not a lot of it, but yeah they showed up.
there is nothing to suggest that austroloids traveled to the americas over seas, and everything to suggest they did it by foot around the same time australoids began inhabiting australia and PNG, given their genetic distribution. Think what happened with the neanderthals, they were there way before the main native american wave in small numbers and were absorbed/out-competed. this is super fucking cool, america has probably been inhabited for at least 50k years.
a tribe around the great lakes has european genetic material from around a thousand years ago. nothing else is known, but it's easy to guess that it was probably a group of brave/lost northern europeans.
there is chinese pig iron distributed among PNW native american artifacts. this is imo the most interesting information on this subject. there is no chinese genetic material known in any natives, though, which is part of why it's cool. I like to imagine a ghost ship washed ashore, but it's also possible it was a brief stop by some brave/lost chinese navigators with some trade or fights or something.
that's just about it.
Caleb Diaz
But that's wrong
Leo Miller
America is CHINESE!
Cooper Anderson
nice, did you just heavily research it yourself or is it part of uni?
