Well, it's not like the human species exactly evolved there; they had to move in from somewhere. So, yeah, they discovered it. A damn long time ago, but they did. >They are only called Indians because Columbus (or someone else) >was expecting to find India. *groan* Yeeees, we _know_ that. (And I think it was indeed Columbus. IIRC he was working off outdated mathematics that most geometry geeks of the day _knew_ were wrong.) YG: As far as the whole Leif Erikson thing, weren't there Irishmen a century or two before even him? I've heard stories of Phoenician settlements in modern-day Brazil, but the evidence seems to me to be a tad weak; same deal with the similar stories of Minoan settlements in what's now Massachusetts.
The Indians as they are called are actually INDIANS from India, so that makes it very clear beyond doubt that America actually belonged and was habitated by Indians ;) The vikings might also have discovered it but there is no documentation on that... ?:) "CeeJay" <new...@ceejay.cjb.nOt> wrote in message news:3be06cc2$0$25357$edf...@dspool01.news.tele.dk... > > ,------------------------------------. > > |Here's the first question (for 100$)| > > |Who had discovered America? | > > `------------------------------------' > > ........................ |||||| > > (DAMN!

Note that this, while being true, does not mean non-aboriginal Australians are particularly enlightened people, nor does it mean aboriginal Australians have achieved any unusually high level of self-determination or social security.

America comes from Americo, that was the name of an expeditionist where somebody who designed maps was in love with, and next to his maps he kept scribing Americo and after a time they thought the land that was near the text was called so, so the name America was founded becuase of a gay-relation he also didnt know that it was not Americo but Amerigo, -- ,'.', !o ol /_.-._\ M E E T M E / \"'"/ \ / | | | \ , /| | | |\ / | | | | | \ __ / | | | | \ (_ | _ _| _| o _ | | | | | | | __) |<(/_(_|(_| | (/_ | | |___| | | | | | ' | | | | |__| |__| | |.-|__| | |__|-.| | | | | | | |_|_| |__|__|Skd

They lived in what now is called America, that name came after the discovery, in honor to an explorer called Americo Vespucius(I don't know the name in English).......... And the Indian term was already dispersed. What I really don't like it's to see people calling America the USA, the use is extremely dispersed even thoug there a lot of other Americans actually not being from the USA. sps .|. (*.*) -

*Snip large off-topic discussion* If my memory of 8th grade social studies serves me, THIS is how it goes: -The "Indians" come from Asia over the land bridge and settle across Canada(As for calling them "Indians" instead of Native Americans, it's a matter of habit and the fact that one of them has about half as many syllables as the other.) -The vikings came and left. -Columbus sailed to the tropics or something -Amerigo Vespucci(I kept having trouble with not accidentally calling him Amerigo Bonasera(Which doesn't mean anything to somebody who hasn't read the Godfather)), a mapmaker if I remember correctly, named America after either himself or some slang that was popular in the area and the time or something. -Man walks on moon -Pepsi releases "Pepsi Clear"
