"Today's Columbus Day...That's the day Columbus discovered America." "How can anyone say he 'discovered' America....Native Americans had been living here for centuries." "Maybe they were hiding under rocks."
But can you actually discover somewhere where you’ve always lived? And who says Columbus discovered it first. If Columbus didn’t know the americas existed, he’d still discover them even if he was the millionth person to discover them.
