  4. Christopher Columbus, 1492? First* European** to discover*** North America**** * Credited, not real. ** Except probably for Leif Ericcson, the famous Viking explorer (1000), or perhaps Brendan, the Irish monk (400) ***But he thought we was in Asia ****actually, he landed on San Salvador island.

  6. Amerigo Vespucci, 1502? Followed up* on Columbus’** discoveries***. * Actually, he proved Columbus’ Asia theory wrong. ** By claiming them as his own. ***Only explored South America, not North America.

  8. Martin Waldseemüller, 1507? Made a map* suggesting that the newly discovered land** be called “America***.” * Based on guesses and reports. ** First found by Columbus, then Vespucci. ***After Amerigo Vespucci, not Columbus.

  10. Native “Americans,” ? Had lived* in this land** since right after the flood***. * Based on archeological evidence. ** The new world, or North America, or America. ***Genesis 11:8-9, NIV: “8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis%2011&version=NIV1984
