Marco Polo Discovered America?
It's no joke. A recently discovered map, if it is proven to be authentic, will
show that marco Polo came to the New World approximately 300 years prior to
Columbus making his voyages.
(Inquistr) All school children have memorized the old rhyme "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" in order to help them remember the date and the name of the explorer who “found” America.
But new evidence, including a map, indicates that there may need to be a different date and a different name.
The incredible discovery of 14 documents kept in the trunk of an Italian immigrant who settled in San Jose, California, may change history. In particular, the map found among the documents could be an incredibly stunning find. Crudely drawn on sheepskin, the map depicts what appears to be the Bering Straight, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and the west coast of North America — specifically, Washington state.
The map also indicates that it was Marco Polo, not Christopher Columbus, who made the voyage, and that it happened in the 1200s.
