The New Truth: China Discovered America
 

According to Discovery HD here today. Columbus never made it to mainland North America. Divers discovered giant ships anchors from China that scientists dated back over 4,000 years.

That's almost the beginning of time according to Palin.

Nobody discovered America, people where already there.

Well they own it now, whether they discovered it or not! :disgust

Columbus spent two months exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama, all part of mainland North America, on his fourth voyage in 1502.

The native Alaskans kinda look like Chinese, so who knows

You suck AMP!

:1orglaugh

That's Central America.

You silly uneducated fuckwit! Everyone knows that dinosaurs never existed. God put fossils here to test our faith.

ya, and they came from asia. So fucking long ago that nobody even remembers what happened.

oooooh snap.

Some guy named Menzies is claiming this..... It's been debunked. Here's the list of sites debunking his theory http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=me...ient=firefox-a

I thought the Vikings discovered America

Al Gore invented America.

And soon china will own us too

Thread of the day :1orglaugh

Soon? :eek7

Central America is part of the North American continent.

But Central America is not "mainland" North America.

Are you really nitpicking over this? It's what they said in the piece, and it's not even that important considering they were talking about dating the anchors at 4k+ years old. :1orglaugh

Yeah, but who discovered Europe?


:1orglaugh

The Amish

this news isn't new lol

Vikings discovered America... had a few beers and then went home or something


Jack

Bullshit!

They discovered Pennsylvania. :1orglaugh

Finally some fucking truth in this thread.

nobody discovered America, it was already there!

DNA taken from Native Indians shows clearly ancestry going back to Asia and the Pacific Islands. There has been flint tools and weapons discovered that clearly show the work of Europeans.

Columbus did not discover the Americas. People were already there.

I spend too much time watching the History Channel. LOL

all wrong- fletchxxx's family was here first.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh...

Never made sense to me that Columbus discovered America when there were already people here.. and he thought he was in India..

When Columbus came in America he discovered what? Nothing! There were people there with their own culture and goods but a way behind in technological invents than European conquerors. In American continent were cultures thousands years before Columbus arrived. It was a big discovery for European greedy leaders and nothing else...and all the rest is history!!!

I thought everyone knew that Spain had their ship anchors "made in China":helpme

... and found natives :2 cents: fuck, it was an ice age discovery when it was possible to walk from now russia to now usa ... get it, human race is way older than 6k :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i thought the prevailing consensus was that humans made their way from the east across the bering strait and into what is now north america.

these people became the "indigenous" tribes and continued to move south into the americas.

so all of the cultures, american indians, mayans, aztecs, incans etc were descendants
of what we now call asia.

i think? heh...
