Supposing TWO chickens did it together with a line between them?

The native Americans were here before Columbus, so someone had to find it first.

Why did the chicken cross the sea? To confuse politically correct anthropologists.

Columbus wrote that he had read accounts of Leif Ericsonn’s trip.
To: Nikas777
Everyone (not really) found the Americas before Columbus. His was just a major milestone in history when the ‘discovery’ was used on a mass scale.

“Chickens could not have gotten to South America on their own”
The Vikings brought them
To: Nikas777
They have other evidence of Polynesian contact, various earlier European contact, Vikings, perhaps Japanese fishermen, Oceanic people related to the Australians, the occasional African and accounts of Chinese contact. It seems that people have been bumping into the Americas for some time. Columbus just gets the credit.

“Chicken Bones Suggest Polynesians Found Americas Before Columbus”
Or chickens found Polynesia before Captain Cook.

A chicken walks into a bar founded by Polynesians that just happen to be open on Columbus Day...
To: Nikas777
There is little doubt that Columbus was the first to find America.. however that’s not even the point. None of these other pre columbus cultures that evidence suggest found the continent successfully colonized it.
They all failed in their attempts to colonize or left. The European discovery of America by Columbus lead to the Americas we have today.
The Chinese or polynesians finding it prior had no lasting impact.
So, for historical purposes one can argue Columbus may not have been the first to discover the continents, but he’s the one that matters long term.
To: Nikas777
who cares? columbus was the first guy with guns to ‘discover’ america. and those are the people who write history.
