New evidence of Viking life in America?

[Insertnamehere]

[MENTION=23097]Insertnamehere[/MENTION], it was Amerigo Vespucci. the continent is named after him because of that.

Yes, the later is very much known. Thank you, though, I can never remember the Italian name for Américo Vespucio.

Searching around, because I couldn't remember, indeed, he was the first to propose it was a new continent.

It's funny, because if the same stardards were applied to William Herschel, he would have to recognize any son of a gun who observed Uranus before him as the "discoverer" when the bastards didn't even know they were observing a planet! Ridiculous!

Why do people even consider Colombo for anything other than the merit of the first trip (and for a while now, it is known that's not even the case!) is beyond me.
