Ummm as far as I know, Zheng He explored the Ocenia give me proof that he discovered America. Beacause I'm quite certain that in 1421-22 (his 6th voyage) he explored East Africa and Arabian Peninsula.


Beacause actually, although Christopher Columbus is the generally the most accepted answer however if it was not him it would be the Vikings as it is said that they have found Viking coins.

However even further back, Americas were discovered by the indians that lived there beacause they were not always there, they started in Asia as nomads. They followed the animals over to the Americas and slowly over time the small groups of nomads spread out in the Americas and settled down.


So you can say Columbus discovered Americas, Vespucci discovered Americas, the vikings discovered the Americas, the nomadic people of Asia/Europe discovered Americas.


sorry by history stand point the vikings didnt discovered america why? even thou they discovered iceland and greenland which the called vinland and found newfoundland however they didnt stay because of attacks by native americans forced them to leave shortly after arviving so they didnt discovered it by that point.
the nomads who moved there are native americans and discovering only counts for organized civs

this is what china did in 1421 to 1423 explore africa, discovered the south and north poles, discovered australia, discovered the americas, meet the incas, meet the astacs(i think its spelled that way), went to the carippeans(cant spell it), circled the globe and maped the globe and few other things. the places the landed in north america: oregon, modern san fan., san diego, alaska, florida west and east coast, new york, massachusetts, maine, theres a few more but theres a few.

for columbus and vespucci sorry they had maps they knew the land was there. the only reason columbus thought he found india was because his map skills sucked when figuring out his position he was always about 2000 miles off

Alexander Cartwright, I forget where.

By the way, Me_And_Lucy was right on #2, it was Joe Nathan.
And I WAS wearing red undies, now they're blue (like you care...)

How many Champion's League titles have clubs from Spain, England and Italy won? (Separate answer for each country.) This includes FC Barca's recent victory over Man U, including a beautiful goal by my man Samuel Eto'o.

What was the first category ever selected on the syndicated version of Jeopardy (1984-today), and what was the $ amount?

HINT: Search Jeopardy's 4000th episode on youtube, and you'll see the answer eventually.
