@Aivery thanks! That's been bugging me for years
Maybe the French discovered America. It certainly was not Colombo.

Lief the Lucky was in Canada centuries before Chris the Butcher arrived in Hispaniola.
North and South America were discovered 10 of thousands of years ago maybe even by pre-Sapiens a 100,000 years ago. European didn't discover anything that people living here didn't already know.
