Leif Ericson is widely regarded as the first European to visit North America and he died almost 200 years before Marco Polo was born. (1020 and 1254 respectively)

Christopher Columbus didn't discover america, but he damn well made sure that everyone else thought he did, through genocide and conquest.

I think it's pretty well accepted that the first non-native americans to discover the continent were Viking traders.

There were people who were already living here when he came over, so, no, he did not discover America.

If this that stuff turns out to be authentic, then he might've been the first *European* to discover the west coast of North America. Which is cool.

However, the Vikings were in Canada a couple hundred years prior.
