    Christopher didn't even really discover America. He found one of the islands in Caribbean. Also he believed to his death that he discovered route to East Asia. Hence the term Red Indians in America....

    In early Norse religion, helmets with horns were used in special ceremonies, but never worn into battle. Confused archaeologists started the misconception, so don't blame us artsy types for everything.

    Civilization predates taxes. This first known instance of taxation was by the ancient Egyptians, and even then the taxes weren't used to 'buy civilization', they were used to build religious monuments, wage imperialistic wars and pay for the expenses of a parasitical ruling class.

    In fact, if you think about it, civilization must predate taxes, because in order to pay taxes, people need to be producing more resources than they need so that the State will have something to take.
