I just want to do a quick footnote video to go along with the big Before Columbus part three. My last video on east Asian theories didn’t quite go into one important potential beater of Columbus in Japan.
This series explores the question, "Was Columbus really the first person to land in America?". It explores theories that range from the confirmed, to bizarre in this tour of alternate explorers who made it to America's Shores
