Wouldn't surprise me. The Polynesians located the Hawaiian Islands, tiny specks of land isolated in the middle of a vast ocean desert. And they located Easter Island, which is even more remote. You wanna tell me they couldn't find a gigantic continent further to the west?

Interesting ping.

Weren't the Chinese supposed to have visited, too, during the Fifteenth Century? Their ships, part of a great navy that was used to expand trade with India and Southeast Asia, were the most advanced in the world at that time.

I agree with the sentiment but has there been any DNA evidence of this (or people from any place other than North-east Asia) visiting the western hemisphere before Colombus?

Did ancient Polynesians visit California?

Sure. Those Polynesians are big believers in networking.
