[Comova]

The vikings abandoned america. They only colonised NewFoundLand

thats still the new world...as i said its just an idea

[The Archregimancy]

... you're spared having me inadvertently without knowing it

I'd always heard these conferences were really just orgies.

Now corrected.

But sadly, this isn't wholly untrue.

I remember a conference in Corpus Christi back in the 1990s when the assembled archaeologists managed to drink the hotel bar dry - in a Texas oil town - on the very first night.

Next thing you know Erdogan is saying that Turkey reached the moon before the Soviets or the Americans, or that HE was, in fact, the Joker.

[Comova]

I think Erdogan is weird. He thinks that he is the emperor of Turkey.
Did you know he built a big palace with 2500 rooms in Ankara, and his people are poor.
He's a tyran!

Hahah, totally agreed!

While I agree with your sentiment I can't help my self to be cautious around your arguments..

[Belique]

Looks like someone is putting too much stock in the Age of Empires III campaign's historical accuracy.

On the subject, shall we build a Viking stave church in Newfoundland?

Haha. I agree. This is stupid. Edrogan needs to shut up.

[The Grey Wolf]

I'll bet we faked the dinosaur fossils and the Moon landing too.

The first land dwelling animals discovered the Americas hundreds of millions of years ago.

[Summerset Plains]

See look at this (possibly true).
It was a theory by an Arab scientist, very brilliant by the way. He made the "Law of America" using a few instruments
The Muslims might have sailed to it.
The Vikings settled the area called New Found Land. Before "Vin Land"
So the Vikings discovered it.
Apparently in 1421 the Chinese fleet of 800 ships reached america (Possible False)
And then in 1492 (Approx 70 years later). Christopher Columbus Discovered the Islands and then Traversed into the Americas.
...So right now the Vikings are more likely to have Colonized it

Calling him a "scientist" and "very brilliant" is a massive disservice to science and brilliance.

[DnalweN acilbupeR]

Damnit, Erdogan. Get back to your 100-room palace and snort your cocaine.

this. and fuck your harem.

2) Old Chris Colombo who actually discovered, and exploited what is now Cuba, and Haiti (He never once landed in what is now North America)!

Yes he did.

On his fourth voyage, Columbus landed on the continental landmass of North America on the 14th of August, 1502, at what's now Puerto Castilla, Honduras. He continued down the Caribbean coast of Central America - the "southernmost, isthmian portion of the North American continent" - as far as Panama.

Columbus also landed on the continental landmass of the Americas on his third voyage in 1498, albeit in South America, in what's now Venezuela.

According to
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/r ... 152948483/

The basque were fishing the st Georgesbank since about 1000. (Damm phone will not c & p). If they could get to the gulf of maine, how not Latin America?

[The Fascist American Empire]

Everybody knows that it was Tengriist Turks from Siberia who firstly crossed through the Bering Strait into the Americas and eventually became Indians.

Yeah, it actually was a semi-decent country, but at the end of the day, it's just like every Middle East country filled with fundamentalist whack-jobs.

That's bullshit. You're talking out of your ass without any knowledge.

Point. Proven. Thank you for the demonstration.

Don't forget the Israelis, the Phoenicians, the Polynesians, the Malians, Space Nazis and the mailman if you wanna add all the possibilities.

According to Mormon faith, the Native Americans are the Lost Tribe of Israel.

[Risottia]

Why does it matter who technically discovered it first?

...also because it was the Siberian tribes...

[Geilinor]

Erdogan, you're not a Viking.

[Papait]

That's like completely wrong

Australia is Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea and Timor.

New Zealand is part of Oceania, never part of australia

No, Timor is Wallacea, not Sahul.

It seems like NSG never heard of the first discoverer of the Evolution theory, Alfred Russel Wallace.

... We're talking about what Continent they are on, not in waht Fauna Region they are

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

... We're talking about what Continent they are on, not in waht Fauna Region they are

Point stands.

Timor is just as much Australia as New Zealand or Fiji.

Also black people are being punished for not fighting Lucifer *lol*.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Quite simply it was the NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS who discovered the Americas! All the others came much later!
The only archeological evidence for european rediscovery/conquests (in order);
1) The vikings under Leif Erikson circa 1000ad (near L'ans aux meadows, Canada)
2) Old Chris Colombo who actually discovered, and exploited what is now Cuba, and Haiti (He never once landed in what is now North America)!
3) All the other european nations driven by manifest destiny, and imperial colonialism.

Er, yes he did.

I think Colombo was from the US to begin with...

Oh, yes. He was a detective.

That, or a sapient French pigeon.
