    The Icelandic explorer Leif Ericson is considered the first European to land in North America around the year 1000, about 500 years before the explorer Christopher Columbus landed in South America and explored it.

    I'm sorry, that it not right. Columbus sailed to America and explored it about 500 years after Leif Ericson. Look it up and see for yourself.

    No, you are incorrect. Colombo was NOT a Spanish explorer.He was Italian.Look it up and see for yourself. And Greenland is not America.
    MichaelHuss

    Columbus was Italian, you are right, that was my mistake. but Leif Ericson was the first European to set foot on America, NOT Greenland. He WAS the first to discover north America. quoting one of various sites that say that: "Erikson was an Icelandic explorer and probably the first European visitor to North America, 500 years before Christopher Columbus."
    Stop arguing and start reading. See for yourself:

    Yes, referring to Colombo as a Spaniard was indeed your mistake. As for who came first, Ericson's expedition lacks historical authenticity of that of Colombo's. Why do you think that EVEN revisionists
    claim that ..."Erikson was an Icelandic explorer and PROBABLY the first European..."
    Key word:Probably. Doesn't sound too conclusive to ME.

    LOL! What a big man you are! mentioning my mistake once again sure makes your point weaker, because it shows that all you want is to argue and that you are violent. Yes, violent, and that weaken your argument even more. I almost feel sorry for you.
    The word PROBABLLY is there in case some other European have been to America before Erikson. tell me, why are you so un-logically and stubbornly keep on arguing something that is clearly wrong? did you look at the links in my previous message? it is written in so many sources. It is like arguing that the world is flat. Are you a descended of Columbus? are you just looking for ways to fill your time?

    I think that this message will be my last regrding this matter,because it is such a futile discussion.
    digger

    I couldn't agree with you more. It SHOULD be your last.

    Signed: Violent Digger LOL

    Why do you wish to fight someone you don't even know? Do you feel something was achieved through this waste of time of an argue? you need help.
