Did Newton discover gravity? No, not in the direct sense but he made the entire world understand a theory about how the universe works. Same with Columbus. What did Leif Erickson do in the America's, nothing. Until about 50 years ago most scholars doubted the fact that he actually reached North America. Chinese did nothing also a theory. But Columbus set the precedent and started us on the path to this great country, USA. He is an American Hero lie about it or not.
facts? hardly.1) east india trading company was chartered by the ENGLISH queen elizabeth 1 in 1600--over a hundred years after columbus. 2) the "fact" that china discovered america in 1421--FICTION!! 3)5000 year old mesopotamian coin?? the oldest coin in the world was minted in Lydia, some 2600 years ago, and were so primative that you can barely recognize the lion head on them--a map of the world would be impossible!!
get at least a couple of l ACTUAL facts, and you might be able to persuade...
The only difference between Hitler and Columbus is that Columbus was successful in causing the extinction of certain races and the enslaving of others. All for gold and in the name of religion. Yet Hitler who did not fully succeed went down in history as a mad man. Not too many bright bulbs out there.
You morons, Columbus is celebrated because he was the first person from developed civilization who found the new lands, and placed them properly on the world map. Of course, I wkow the vikings were here earlier, and maybe the chinese, but they didnt create maps that were shared with the civilized world. That the difference.
i dont know why everybody got to hate columbus. he achieve dsucsess and fame in his day. indians had slaves. they just werent smart enough and/or brave enough to take it to the level columbus did. dont be a sore loser
Funny how Brown University, with its endowment from wealthy slave trade merchants, takes the lead in this silly protest. Maybe we should abandon the 4th of July so as not to upset any British-Americans, and perhaps abandon Thanksgiving since that, too, is merely a tacit recognition of the White Man's conquest. Just get rid of the name "America" since that is merely a derivation of a White European man's name. My, my, how fashionable it has become to bash White European accomplishment!
Besides the fact that you left out the Norse, specifically Leif Erickson, and besides the fact that that Mesopotamian coin looks like a misunderstood interpretation, or even a fake & made up storyline, that doesn't exist, this video does make an interesting point about how Columbus has been romanticized and thoroughly misunderstood for centuries. Having his own holiday is like giving a holiday for Adolf Hitler, or Ron Paul, who actually has a lot in common with Hitler being a white supremacist!
who cares?!...get over it already! Africa was filled with BLACK and ARAB slave traders and still has slavery today. The Ivory Coast didnt even outlaw slavery untill 1964..LOL! The OLDEST remains found in America are CAUCASION...and the "native" americans are ASIANS who migrated here.....
columbus was original from Catalonia( northeastern Spain) forget genova, his family jusy emigrated there, his real name is Cristòfor Colom! no matter what Italians say!
@qeolion SInce you idiots don't understand simplicity I will give you an example. I am Italian and I work around people who are from Spanish heritage. Does this make me Spanish, NO.
Ok, I move to Spain, and I'm Italian. Does this make me Spanish, yes by nationality but my heritage is from Italy. My surname, my blood, my phenotype.
wait so columbus was a slave trader for the east india company? well fist i have to ask which one because there was an english east india company and a dutch east india company. secondly neither were around at the time of the columbus expeditions, and thirdly neither of the two companies were involved in the slave trade that i know of,also the sails are an artists rendering, simply because there is a red cross does not make them a templar otherwise we would assume the red cross are also templars
American Indians were here first....Saying he 'Discovered' America ..is like me saying I discovered my neighbors back yard and then claiming it....Columbus and his band of misfits and outcast were nothing but trouble from the start.
You morons. Columbus obviously wasnt the first person to find America...He was the first from a civilization with writing and maps to report to the rest of the world what he found. thats the point.
Most about "Columbus" is not known. CONFUSED history. "Columbus" was not even his real name he used a fake name Cristovam Colon (Colon=Member Cristovam=going for Christ). We don't even know his real name, where he was born not to mention we don't even know where he was buried. CONFUSED HISTORY.
This video here contributes with more lies & Confused history.
"Columbus", officially is the first European to discover America.
The sails aren't the Templars. Maybe the Portuguese Order of Christ.
I know this is a 1 year old comment, but, we do know where he was born, and we do know where he is buried, he was born in Genoa Italy, and he died in Valladolid, Castile in Spain.
It's fair to say that Columbus was the first European to discover America, and thus starts recorded history in the New World.

@TheQjd Sorry, he wasn't the first European in America - he was over 500 years late for that one.

people are stupid...
OK, the reason he is celebrated is because after him, a whole new era started!
thanks to him, Spain became one of the biggest global empires ever, followed by England and France and other European Nations....
and since that, a new chapter of history started, when Europe went to monopolize the world's culture and politics.

@qeolion How could you be 32 years old and a lived so long to be a fucking idiot?
Cristoforo Colombo was BORN meaning came out of his mother's womb on the soil of Italy. He was born in Genoa.
He wasn't born in Spain dumb ass. He just worked there you piece of shit.

How come Columbus or Chinese "discover" the Americas?
American Indians don't count? They discovered the Americas 15.000 years ago!
Besides Inuits reached the Americas 2000 years, and Norse 500 years before Columbus and those "theorical" chinese.
The only merit of Columbus was to "discover" the Americas to the blind europeans, and in that the chinese had nothing to do.

Holy crap thats pretty weird, maybe columbus revived the organization but renamed it the freemasons, masonics or whatever.
