There were thousands (not millions) of natives here, but the land itself was unknown to the outside world; that's the discovery part (to put it on the world map). And the fact is the Chinese landed here before Columbus; it's even written in Chinese historical documentaries.

You're smoking crack..estimates are all over the place but they range from 8 million to 112 million. Not sure why non-Natives think they know more about my history than me.

My estimate was off because I was thinking too far back (thousands of years ago, instead of 600 years), but my discovery part still stands true.

It was discovered to the outside world and the Chinese ship was the first outsiders to have reached the land, not Columbus or anyone else.

They've moved beyond discussing a map made in the 1600s, to the off-topic of which non-native culture, in the 1400s, traveled to the Americas first. (Ignoring, of course, the Vikings around 1000AD.)

The Chinese theory still appears to be quite controversial.
