The Vikings Discovered America Before Columbus:
The Americas were found in the tenth century by Viking traders guided by Leif Erikson before Christopher Columbus made the journey there. They founded Vinland, now it is known as Newfoundland, Canada, indicating the first European existence in North America. This early exploration showcases the Norse’s remarkable maritime skills and their willingness to explore new lands long before the more well-known European explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries.
