Who was first? [discovering the Americas]

"For centuries, textbooks in American classrooms have announced Christopher Columbus as the discoverer of the Americas. Revisionist historians have recently been countering this claim, however, with various archeological and mythical findings. Russell Freedman uses evidence from Viking runes, Chinese myths, Mayan stonework, and other cultural mediums to exemplify how the story of the discovery of the Americas is evolving."@en
