Chinese discovered America before Columbus discovered?

Imagine if native americans discovered europe and set up colonies all over the UK.
 
There was a few episodes on Sliders related to a similar topic like this.
  • Episode #2 (Pilot 2) was where the United States was taken over by communism and became "Russia".
  • Episode #5 (Prince of Wails) was where it is the British States of America because the British won the Revoultionary War.
  • Episode #17 (In Dino Veritas) was where the dinosaurs never became exinct and are considered an endangered species today.
This is something that everyone should think about. Anything could happen. Maybe, we could have been better. Maybe, we could have been worse. No one knows.

If China had actually claimed this country, we might have had World War for a different reason... or no war at all. :dunno:

As they say...dream on! Never would happen! They had no interest in empires (expansionists types) and their culture was very resistant to change and that is what doomed them. When you are resistant to change, you don't want "contaminated" ideas from other places.

Thoughout history, it always was the dynamic (and adaptable) cultures that expanded and took over others. Just look to the past and you will see this as being true.

Maybe the Incas, Mayas, and the Aztecs had the potential but they were essentially inward looking people not explorers like others. It is interesting to note that historians are still trying to figure out the origins of their knowledge.
 
Nah Nah!

Native Americans (Indians) discovered Americas way before Chinese did (if they said so) then before Colombus did then before we did. End of discussion. Agreed??

That's what I thought so... but I didn't know that Chinese is first before Christopher Colombus.

I know that Indians are the first people of America before Christopher Colombus came and Spanish discovered south America (Mexcio)...

Not true. Mexico is in North America. South America is a whole different continent below Mexico (and Central America). Some of the countries are Peru, Equador, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and so on.

AS long you're happy living right place where you living... stick w/it
