Quit kicking off you lot! It's boring and it goes on too much on this site.

I choose to believe that America was discoverd be St Brendan the Navigator (died circa 583AD) as described in a 9th Century manuscript. Thus, America was discovered by the Irish.

It puts a different slant on things.

This is'nt entirely accurate, A skull was discovered on the banks of the Mississippi River. It turned out to be 10,000 years old and EUROPEAN!!


More likely it fell off of a boat. River banks can be very dynamic.

Do you have any sources for the european land bridge. That would have to be a very long bridge, compared to the one by alaska. Got to http://maps.google.com/, select satallite, and zoom out.


I foud some info on this one. You'll have to forgive my earlier post because the info was a bit rusty in my head.

The skull was found along with most of the skeleton on the banks of the Columbia river in eastern Washington State. Tests of deposits on the bone matched deposits in the river, so they guy died where they found him. A spear point of ancient design was embeded in his hip. There are various theories how he got there but one thing is certian. He's caucasian.

Native Americans are who discovered America.
