Muslim sailors reached America before Colombus - Turkish President Erdogan

LOL. It is funny to say, some one discovered america, or some one discovered India or Some one discovered Europe. These things are just too funny to digest.

Please also tell us, who discovered moon? Or who discovered Venus? Nonsense!

Ancient Indians knew everything but did not believe in using materialistic things to attain it. When I say Indians, I mean people of Subcontinent.

There is mention of gems and oil in 5000 years old Vedas, but they preserved it because they knew that it will in long term harm the civilization.

Its our own mistakes , We turned islam into some blood thirsty religion , cz everyone just wanted power so they twisted and forgot what it was telling

Not only that but many many other things have done by the Muslims. Even today there are hundreds of thousands Muslim books that are being taught in Western universities. If you are not powerful enough, someone will always get her own way, Turkiye gets stronger by each passing day and now we give our own whistle.

What are "Muslim books" - books written by Muslims or books written about Muslims or books written about Islam?

Well America had humans population prior to Europeans arrival in America

Spanish reached there did not mean they discovered new land , rather they discovered a path for their own countries back in Europe

Indigenous folks lived in American continent for Centuries

Most likely South America and North America had continuous flow of Human Travelers across time , one can only image the "GREAT" adventure it must have been in the days when there were no roads or defined path to travel on

Does it matter who discovered it first? The visa process will remain the same!

Really

What Pres. Erdogan said is not farfetched by any means from historical evidence. The Chinese Muslim Naval Admiral Zheng He is believed to have traveled to the Americas, 71 years before Columbus reached any part of the Americas. Several Historians have suggested this based on historic maps and manuscripts.

While I have my doubts on Muslim sailors getting there when Columbus arrived. It may very well have been that other sailors inadvertently ended up in America before columbus....and perhaps were sacrificed to the gods.. or did not survive the Jungle.

Quite simply, quite a few made it there.. just that no one returned like columbus to tell the tale.

They did exactly that;

The Viking Trail – Newfoundland and Labrador – Step back in time to when Vikings discovered our shores

Vinland Archeology

Viking sailors, coming from Iceland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark ended up in Newfoundland and Labrador, now parts of Canada.

Leif Eriksson was the first European in North America;

Leif Erikson

"Leif Erikson was the first European to set foot in the New World"

Muslim having reached America before Colombus is very Likely.

Obviously they got there on their flying carpets to.

Lol
