While it is commonly believed that Christopher Columbus was the first to make a successful round-trip voyage to the Americas, in recent years new evidence has cast this idea into doubt. It suggests that there may have been Chinese and Viking "discoveries" of the New World that predate Columbus's arrival. This book considers these possibilities and describes the complex societies explorers would have found, built by the tens of millions of people native to North and South America. Full-color illustrations. Includes notes and a select bibliography.
