Who Really Discovered America?
It's really interesting. They explore various legends and theories about possible visitors to the Americas and the USA before Columbus.
While not a lot was settled with some of the legends, there's now pretty conclusive proof that the Polynesians came to the Americas, landing near Santa Barbara, CA, USA and somewhere in S. America sometime between 1000-1300 AD...
In the Santa Barbara case, pottery and canoes are almost identical to Polynesian canoes of that era, and the native word for this "canoe" is almost identical to the Polynesian word.
Circumstantial evidence is that the Polynesians reached virtually every island in the Pacific during this time, so it's seems pretty far-fetched that they would have missed two entire continents.
Intersting stuff...I think it's a safe bet that the Americas have been "discovered" many times throughout history before Columbus in 1492. As the show points out, water has never been a barrier for human travel and has acted more like a highway than an obstacle throughout our past.
