[quote=ELCABRON ,9097]Hi Rita, if you see it like that, than the first people in America (todays Indians) came from Asia. Buildings like Mesa Verde are really fascinating. But than the first people in Asia are thought to be from Africa, where - in the end - possebly all people come from....So the first rediscover by explorers was by Nordic tribes (Danish, Swedish...) also known as Vikings around the year of 1000. There are old legends about Leif Eriksson (not the one with the mobile;-) discovered a place he called Vinland. They sailed to Canada via Newfoundland and than down along the coast. But there was no proof if it really was North America - because their settlements did not last very long and they did not leave any carvings in stones like stupid tourists at the Great Wall (well, they could not find any walls, I guess;-)Anyway in 1978 there were finally settlements discovered in L?se aux Medows in Canada which finally proof those legends to be correct. 1000 years ago....[/quote]
