Who was the first European to come to America?

1492, Columbus discovered the new continent of America, opened up new routes in the world, formed the concept of world geography, set off the climax of western colonization, and became the starting point of globalization, which was of epoch-making historical significance and became a story in history! However, for hundreds of years, many historians have questioned whether Columbus was the first person to reach America. Faced with many historical materials and archaeological remains, the academic community basically concluded that Columbus was not the first person to arrive in America. Historians have the following basic statements:

First of all, the Spaniard Alonso Sanchez de Villeva arrived first. According to the viewpoint put forward by the famous Venezuelan historian Elmata Maria, as early as 148 1 year, the Spaniard de huelva arrived in America. Later, on his way back, he stayed in Columbus's home for a while and fell ill and died in Columbus's home. On his deathbed, he told Columbus his "great discovery", that is, detailed information about the new American continent. Columbus began to seek self-help everywhere and finally arrived in Spain. According to this view, de huelva arrived in America ten years earlier than Columbus.

Secondly, the Nordic people arrived in America around 1000, which is proved by evidence. According to legend, a man named Rafe Ellison arrived in America with his companions on 1986, and left a voyage story "A Journey to Wen Lan". Now, the ancient history of Iceland has preserved all kinds of legends that Scandinavians arrived in America in the 1 1 2nd century. 1960, the Norwegian explorer Gerstad discovered a site on the northern coast of Newfoundland.
