Who discovered the New World of America?

Question 1: Who discovered the American continent? The Nordic Vikings were the first to visit the American continent. It is also said that the original Indians of North, Central and South America were probably nomadic tribes in northern Asia, and they migrated slowly and gradually over a long period of time. ....

Judging from the historical timeline, Zheng He's voyages and European voyages after the Renaissance are already too late. In the long history, not all great achievements may be the result of a certain civilization. Great empires and certain great men accomplished this. Don’t underestimate the strength of ordinary people. Even backward and primitive tribes may be the initiators of human civilization and miracles. The Phoenicians made a bet with the King of Egypt and surrounded the African continent. , the Vikings discovered the American continent in order to make more berries for wine making, the Mongols' long-distance expedition to Europe was just a quick trip, Attila swept through Rome, the Ottomans ended Byzantium, and the northern nomadic tribes of Asia hid huge power ! Therefore, anything is possible

Question 2: Who first discovered the New World of America? All the books say that it was Columbus who discovered the New World of America, but Professor Zhao Bingzhong, director of the Archives of Chang'an University, has a lot of Research on historical data has recently led to a shocking conclusion: the first person to discover the New World in America was not Columbus, but the Chinese Zheng He.

Science and Technology Daily reported that Professor Zhao found in historical materials that a large number of ancient coins, stone carvings, sun stones, etc. left by the ancient Chinese were found in Peru, Mexico, New Mexico, North America, and the coast of the United States. Relics and relics such as Moyan murals and American peanuts and grains that were carbonized 4,000 years ago were also found in China. Examples of these relics are: In 1865, a silver nude goddess statue was unearthed in the Xiyu Cave in northern Peru. The photo of this artifact was first published by an American historian in 1948, with the three Chinese characters for "Wudang Mountain" engraved on it.

Among the ancient steles, ancient coins and stone carvings unearthed, the stone basin excavated in Mexico is the most valuable. There is a clay figure in the stone basin, and the appearance and clothing are all Chinese. In addition, there are the "Tai Stele" unearthed in Peru, ancient coins from the Wang Mang period unearthed in Ecuador, and a stone stele engraved with the Chinese character "Sakimoor" unearthed in Bolivia.

The Astrid Sun Stone was unearthed in Mexico’s Plaza de la Constitución in 1790. The entire layout and artistic shape of the Sun Stone come from the Chinese bronze drum art.

The Kuafu Zhuishi Cliff Painting from 1460 BC was discovered in New Mexico, USA.

Found in North America were the "Picture of the Chief of the Xuanyuan Huangdi Tribe Praying for Good Years" and the "Picture of Chi You Returning to the Ruins and Watching Fusangs at Night".

In December 1973, a 3,000-year-old Chinese stone anchor was discovered off the coast of the United States.

In the early 1960s, six carbonized peanuts were discovered in 4,000-year-old ruins in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, my country, as well as many plant seeds, such as sesame and broad beans, indicating that as early as 4,000 years ago There have been contacts between China and the Americas since ancient times.

The above are all archaeological discoveries over the years, and Professor Zhao recently discovered "Two Emperors on Horseback: Zhu Di and Tamerlane" written by Gavin Menzies, a retired British Royal Navy officer. The two books "1421: China Discovered the World" record the discoveries of Columbus and the first Europeans to reach America.

In order to prove that the Chinese had arrived in the Americas long before the first Europeans arrived, Gavin Menzies consulted more than 6,000 books, pre-Columbian world maps, files from European national archives and It took 10 years to collect the notes of the first navigators to reach America, as well as other relevant information. The book records that Zheng He led his fleets on seven voyages from 1405 to 1433, which lasted 28 years and visited more than 30 countries in Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America, etc. Not only did he leave many historical records in these regions and countries ruins, and many immigration bases were established.

During all his voyages, Zheng He drew detailed maps and charts of the places he visited. Navigators and explorers such as Columbus, Magellan, Cabro, Diaz, and Vasco da Gama all used maps drawn by the Chinese when they sailed to the Americas.

The maps are extremely accurate, with an accuracy of around 23 miles. Menzies wrote in the book: "Drawing a world map requires hundreds of ships to sail millions of square kilometers, so only the Chinese have such a fleet and capabilities." After Menzies' research, Columbus had already There are many Chinese immigration settlements scattered throughout the Americas. In the two villages of Eten and Moncefu in Peru, almost all of them are Chinese, and they all speak Chinese. The Chinese developed at least 6 immigration settlements in the Americas, some with more than 10,000 immigrants. Columbus also discovered that there were a large number of Chinese words in the language of the local residents. When Magellan arrived at the Spice Island, he found that the Chinese were trading pottery for spices and pepper with the people there.

Professor Zhao Bingzhong said that there is a lot of evidence proving that the Chinese had already arrived in the Americas before Columbus arrived. It should be said that this discovery is the pride of the Chinese nation. Our middle school textbooks and archives over the years have all mentioned Columbus's discoveries. The New World, it seems that this history will be rewritten

Question 3: Who was the first American navigator to discover the New World? On August 3, 1492, Columbus was sent by the Queen of Spain and brought it to the Indian monarch.

With the credentials of the Chinese Emperor, he led three sailing ships of more than 100 tons and set sail out of the Atlantic Ocean from the Port of Barros, Spain, heading straight west. After seventy days and nights of arduous sailing, land was finally discovered in the early morning of October 12, 1492 (belonging to the Bahamas Islands in the Caribbean Sea of ??Central America, and he named it San Salvador). San Salvador means the savior. This savior saved the people just now. The rise of Europe may have brought disaster to other continents while changing history.

Later, he landed on many coasts of America. Until his death in 1506, he believed he had arrived in India. Later, an Italian scholar named Amerigo, after more investigation, realized that the places Columbus arrived were not India, but a continent that was originally unknown to most Europeans. However, in terms of naming, this continent was named after the person who confirmed that it was a continent unknown to Europeans: America. Columbus was not the first person to discover the American continent. The "New World" is a "New World" in a narrow sense to Columbus and Westerners. It is not a New World to the Native American Indians. They had already arrived in the American continent 40,000 years ago. It was around the time when they crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to the Americas, or passed through the ice-covered strait land bridge. Whether Columbus or other Westerners landed on the American continent, they were not "first discovered". There were not only tens of millions of residents here before they came. The Native Americans themselves migrated from Asia in ancient times. It is also very possible that the ancestors of China and Oceania sailed to the Americas, but none of these can change the importance of Columbus's discovery of the New World. Columbus's discovery had a huge impact on the world that people at the time could not have expected, and it also became an important turning point in the development of human history.

Question 4: Who was the first American navigator to discover the New World? On August 3, 1492, Columbus was sent by the Queen of Spain and brought it to the Indian monarch

and the Chinese emperor. With his credentials, he led three sailing ships of about 100 tons, sailed out of the Atlantic Ocean from Port Barros, Spain, and sailed straight west. After seventy days and nights of arduous sailing, land was finally discovered in the early morning of October 12, 1492 (belonging to the Bahamas Islands in the Caribbean Sea of ??Central America, and he named it San Salvador).

Question 5: Who was the person who discovered the New World of America? Leif Eriksson (Old Icelandic: Leifr Eiríksson; Norwegian: Leiv Eiriksson), a famous Nordic Viking, probably in 1000 AD The first European explorer to discover North America.

Question 6: Who discovered the New World? In the early morning of August 3, 1492, the port of Palos at the southwest tip of Spain broke the silence of the past, and many people came here. Among them were women, children, elderly people, government officials from the city of Palos, and priests from the monastery. They came to see off a small fleet that was about to sail away. There are three sailboats docked at the pier. The largest ship was the flagship, called the "Santa Maria", which was a three-masted sailing ship with a hull length of 25 meters (some say 39 meters) and a load capacity of 120 barrels (the tonnage of the ship at that time was not the displacement and load capacity in the modern sense). weight, but refers to the number of wine barrels of a fixed size carried by the ship). The other two ships are the "Pingta" (Spanish for "Overlord", so some books call it the "Overlord") and the "Nini" (also known as the "Girl"). The ship was loaded with enough food for 90 voyagers for a year: cured mutton, cured beef, dry rusks, dry cheese, dried peas, rice, wheat flour, fresh water and "fireboxes" for cooking at sea, pots, etc. At dawn, Columbus, who was awarded the title of admiral by the King of Spain, lifelong governor of the newly discovered land, and hereditary governor, wearing a silk tights, a purple cloak over his shoulders, and a sword hanging from his waist, said goodbye to his wife and son. We boarded the flagship with firm steps. The rest of the people also said goodbye to their families and got on the boat and took their places. Following Columbus's order to "pull anchor and set sail", the three sailing ships slowly left the port and sailed to the sea amidst people's shouts, encouragement and exhortations, and began their great voyage. At this moment, Columbus, standing on the flagship, was filled with excitement and excitement. His career, their dreams, inspired him. In the first few days, the fleet had smooth sailing in rough seas. But on August 6, the steering rudder of the "Pingta" jumped out of place, and later it was discovered that water was leaking into the ship. The fleet had to stop at the Canara Islands for repairs and to replenish food and fresh water. After a month of repairs and further preparations in the Canara Islands, the fleet left the last sea area of ????the Old World on September 6 and sailed towards the vast and unknown ocean. The fleet moved farther and farther. Many of the crew wept as the last shadow of land disappeared from sight. Standing on the "Santa Maria" at this moment, Columbus looked at the boundless and unknown ocean, and his mood may be complicated. However, the golden gold of the mythical and prosperous East-India, China, and Japan inspired and attracted him. Sailing westward, it started to be smooth sailing and the scenery on the ocean was beautiful and moving. In the early morning, a red sun was gently held up by the waves in the east. The dawn dyed the clouds in the sky into rose color. The endless blue sea was like a shining blue brocade. This picturesque scenery accompanied the sailors as they sailed westward. On September 16, they saw strands of emerald-green seaweed. At first glance, they looked as if they had just been plucked from the land and thrown into the water. There were more and more seaweeds, and everyone was delighted to think that the fleet was approaching the island. As everyone knows, their ship is not approaching land, but begins to enter a strange sea area in the Atlantic Ocean-the Sargasso Sea.

The area of ??the Sargasso Sea is approximately 9 to 10 million square kilometers. There are large amounts of free-floating, asexually reproducing primitive algae. Its depth is 1,500 meters at its shallowest point and more than 7,000 meters at its deepest point. The fleet did not sail out of the Sargasso sea area that had troubled them for 20 days until October 6. During this period, sometimes the ship was almost motionless and stagnant because of the calm sea; sometimes the waves were rough, which surprised everyone; sometimes the "land illusion" of mirage appeared on the sea, which made everyone enjoy it in vain. Every time they encountered a group of seabirds or a "phantom of land" on the sea during the voyage, they thought they were close to land, but they were disappointed every time. As time passed day by day and week by week, Columbus and his crew saw no trace of land except blue sky, white clouds, blue waves and strong winds and waves. The crew felt their future was bleak and became increasingly uneasy. On October 7, although a large flock of birds was seen again, there was still no sign of land. According to Columbus's estimation, he should have reached Japan (and his calculation of the distance from Europe to Japan via the Atlantic Ocean was wrong), but Japan was nowhere to be seen. traces. It has been a month since they sailed on the sea, and people are eager to see the land. However, the sea of ??fog is vast and it is difficult to find it. People are lonely, confused, and irritable, and their patience seems to have reached its limit. On the 10th, there was a commotion among the crew of the flagship "Santa Maria". People gathered on the deck and shouted to return to Spain. Columbus wrote in the "Logbook" of that day: "People complained about this long voyage and said that they could no longer endure the difficulties of this voyage. I did everything possible to encourage and comfort them...gt; gt;

Question 7: Who was the first to discover the American continent? Who discovered the American continent first? Ma Qinlin Recently, reporters learned from relevant departments that the latest pottery fragments unearthed from the Americas were engraved with the I Ching text. , stone anchors, and paddles show that as early as 7,000 years ago, during the Banpo clan period, Chinese residents began to immigrate to the Americas. So, who discovered the New World first? Archaeologist Professor Feng Xiuwen told reporters that there were people before Columbus. There were more than a dozen expeditions to the Americas. 4,640 years ago, Shi He He sailed across the Pacific and arrived in the Americas. 3,400 years ago, the army of King Zhou of Shang stayed in the conquered Renfang (today's Shandong Province). When the Shang Dynasty fell, , a large number of Yin people fled to the Americas (about 200,000 people). 2400 years ago, Indian missionaries arrived in the Americas. The eminent monk Faxian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the monk Huishen of the Southern Qi Dynasty both visited the Americas. The Irish and The Norwegians, Icelanders, Welsh, Malians, Danes, Portuguese, etc. also arrived in the Americas before Columbus. So, why did these discoveries not cause as much of a global sensation as Columbus's discoveries? ■Columbus's discoveries changed the history of the Americas? Destiny In 1982, at the United Nations General Assembly, initiated by Spain and the United States, 36 countries, including Italy and some countries in Latin America, jointly requested the United Nations to hold a grand commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America on October 1, 1992. As soon as this proposal was introduced, it was strongly opposed by Ireland and Iceland. How to understand their "reasonable" opposition? Why didn't China respond? Moreover, China discovered it earlier than Ireland and Iceland. Professor Feng Xiuwen explained that they do not admit that Columbus first discovered the American continent because their stance and starting point are different from ours. They want to compete for fame and improve their historical status, while we must not only maintain a rigorous scientific attitude , and we must maintain an excellent scientific style. Professor Feng Xiuwen told reporters: The theory that Columbus discovered the American continent has long existed, and there are many disputes. In a narrow sense, it is true that Columbus was not the first to discover the American continent, but in a broad sense. To put it in perspective, we must correctly understand the meaning of Columbus's first discovery of the American continent. We believe that his discovery of the Americas opened a new era in human history. His discovery caused changes in human history. It has social and historical significance and it changed the history of the Americas. Destiny, so it can be called a great historical discovery.

■How Columbus became the "discoverer" Some countries have already had contacts and trade activities with the American Indians. In other words, Columbus was just "a big melon at the end of a melon vine." How could he forget his ancestors? Besides, other countries did not enslave and massacre Indians. According to this, Columbus was just a massacre and a robber. How could he be given such a high evaluation and title? Professor Jin Jichu explained that although some countries have had trade relations with the Americas for a long time, they did not publicize it and did not play a certain historical role. This can only be regarded as a historical event, an accidental discovery, which did not attract enough attention. attention is meaningless. On the contrary, Columbus's historical significance is very significant. From the perspective of globalization, he integrated the Eastern and Western Hemispheres into one big family; from the perspective of economics, he discovered vast markets and origins of raw materials; from the perspective of earth geography, through his and subsequent voyages , proved that the earth is round. Only by combining these three aspects can we evaluate Columbus more accurately. It is not too much to say that Columbus was a massacre and a robber, because his qualities were like that, but his merits still outweighed his faults. It is certainly an honor to strive to be number one, but capital is not something that can be won casually. ■Was Columbus "Hitler"? October 8 this year is a national holiday designated by the US Congress - "Columbus Day". The school and many government agencies had a day off that day. On the 6th, Italian residents living in Denver, Colorado, held a massacre to commemorate Columbus Day, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among local American Indian descendants. One sign they put up read: "You celebrate our suffering," while someone else said: "Can you imagine Jews accepting a 'Hitler' Day? Or African Americans accepting this holiday? The myth of Columbus has long been That's it." Why do Indians hate Columbus so much? After all, they have been reproducing for countless generations. Why is the hatred getting deeper and deeper? How to understand this social phenomenon? Professor Feng Xiuwen explained that Columbus indeed enslaved and massacred many Indians. This behavior of Indian descendants is subjectively understandable because it is human nature. For example, in China, who has invaded and oppressed us? ......gt;gt;

Question 8: Who was the first person in the world to discover the New World? Columbus, some say Zheng He of China, researchers provided a map from the Ming Dynasty, which clearly shows the American continent. But it is not recognized by the world. Nowadays, everyone in the world who can tell lies thinks it was Columbus who discovered it. The Chinese all hope it’s Zheng He, haha

But people already lived in the New World before it was discovered. After Columbus discovered it, a large number of colonists went there and captured Americans as their Slaves (uh... I'm off topic)

Question 9: Who was the first European to discover the American continent? In what year? From 1492 to 1502, the Italian Columbus, with the support of the King of Spain, made four voyages to sea, opening up a route across the Atlantic to the Americas. He first landed on the American continent on the southern shore of the Gulf of Paria and became a famous navigator in history.
