Not surprisingly, the Polynesians are probably the greatest mariners ever to walk the earth. A lot of "unknown lands" have probably been discovered before the person credited with discovering it "discovered it". I wouldn't be surprised if someone before the Vikings had discovered the Americas first. In fact, I'd bet the Polynesians themselves have probably visited South America at some point.

Yeah definitely heard the one about America being discovered long before it was discovered. Maybe it really was connected to Russia too... |

Water levels were lower so people could just walk from Russia to Alaska. One of the many ways that Native Americans got to the United States from Siberia. The interesting thing about the Behring Strait is that when the water rose there was an island in the middle of the sea where the land bridge used to be that stranded a mammoth population that survived so late into history that Pharaohs were ruling in Egypt while the mammoths were living on that island. Unfortunately inbreeding caused the mammoths to go extinct, there wasn't a large gene pool on the island because it was so isolated. |
