For centuries, Christopher Columbus has been credited with discovering America.
His name appears in history books, classrooms, and popular culture around the world.

But discovery does not always mean being first.

Long before Columbus crossed the Atlantic in 1492, America was already home to millions of people.
Thousands of years earlier, the first humans migrated from Asia across a frozen land bridge, building communities and cultures that lasted for centuries.

Almost five hundred years before Columbus, Viking sailors crossed the Atlantic.
Led by Leif Erikson, they reached the shores of North America and established real settlements in what is now modern-day Canada.

This video explores who truly came first, why the Vikings were forgotten, and how Columbus changed history — not by being first, but by opening a door that could never be closed.

History is not only about arrival.
It is about impact.
