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

Just beacause the Vikings stayed there doesn't mean that they didn't discover it. And by saying that then someone could say that Zheng He didn't discover it beacause they never stayed there either.

And also, most of the Indians that first came to America were organized... Incas, Aztecs, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Wampanoag, etc. They also stayed there, so they did discover America as they were the first people there and settled.

Show me proof Zheng He discovered Americas.

They may have had maps, but they didn't know the land was there. When Columbus reached the Caribbean, he thought he was in Asia. People thought that the world was flat and that Columbus would fall off the face of the earth.

Again, Zheng He didn't discover the Antarctica (which you are saying beacause you claim he discovered North and South Poles). ANTARCTICA WASN'T DISCOVERED UNTIL 1821 OR 1773 (depends on what you believe) it was discoved by Captain Cook. CAPTAIN COOK ALSO DISCOVERED AUSTRALIA.

GIVE ME PROOF ZHENG HE DISCOVERED ALL THIS. Zheng He didn't discover all this...

Once again you're wrong...

The correct answer is soccer.

It may not be the world's oldest sport but you said it's also the most popular, so actually, the question itself is wrong. The oldest sport (Bowling/Wrestling) is not the most popular beacause it's played in every country... Soccer is too, and it's even more popular than that.

So once again, the correct answer IS NOT bowling, the CORRECT ANSWER IS Futebol/Football/Soccer

all i can say is read 1421 there is your proof i can go through it but i dont have it right now. he discovered the america and made colonies in america which merged into the indian tribes when supplies were not coming.

columbus knew the land was there and he knew the world wasnt flat because ships wouldnt disapper they would just get smaller yes he tought he was in asia because his map skills suck

you cant discover a land you live in thats why it doesnt count when its in discovering this history stand point

captain cook found australia yes

once again im wrong HAHAHA before you make your claims why dont you do some real damn research like i make this crap up
bowling is the oldest sport and reason you dont see it as the most popular sport is cause you see national teams on tv everyone plays bowling everyday in every country so just because no national teams doesnt mean it aint popular you may consider it as a underground popularity

DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH
