In a tweet Monday afternoon, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren claimed that her “ancestors discovered America.” Did her ancestors really discover America? Let’s do some quick research on this question because she is implying that America was discovered by Europeans.
From American history books, children are taught that Amerigo Vespucci located the land on an expedition in the early 15th century. Then, in 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail with the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria to further explore the land. Both of these expeditions were funded by the country of Portugal. Every year in October, Americans celebrate Columbus Day in retrospect to this discovery.

However, explorers did not technically discover America because people were living there thousands of years before these two journeys. People were already there. If Columbus and Vespucci would have discovered America, then people would not have been there at the time of their explorations. How could this even be possible?
In the LacusCurtius by Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, he makes a statement in regards to the beginning of civilization. “When in the beginning the universe came into being, men first came into being, men first came into existence in Egypt…” This 1st century European historian wrote that all ancestry comes from Africa. That means that any discovery made had to be made by someone from African descent.
The first world empire was based in Ethiopia. Since February is Black History Month, I have been reading a book called “Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire” by Drusilla Dunjee Houston. Their empire was spread throughout the entire globe. This old empire stretched from India to Spain.
I gave you two proofs that all world civilizations were discovered by those of African descent and not by those of European descent. To answer the question, the ancestors that Tomi Lahren claims did not discover America.

This is some brilliant research I am familiar with of and had even been vigorously in defence of when just last year even the Africa, Cradle of mankind, (Sterkfontein, Mrs. Ples, theory) was apparently conclusively “debunked”. It seems, that when we delve into the depths of history and origin, she makes fools of us all. Thank you for sharing.
Familiar with, strike out: of.
Very interesting, so many people did exploration of the world before anyone ever knew. I would not at all be surprised if you were right.
However, there may have been some Scandinavian explorers who also discovered America well before Columbus, who knows.
I know for a fact that the land of Africa was a very rich and prosperous country before 1600. They were bright people and very brave and strong.
Leif Erickson “discovered” it before that and there is more evidence to suggest other cultures found it as well, but the first folks to colonize most likely crossed over from the Bering Strait around the last ice age…
I just watched the Lost Vikings on Nat Geo and learned a lot of this.
it seems like the Americas were the last to be colonized, which is weird since there were some way more out of the way places that got colonized first
I have a lot of questions about the entire ordeal.
with DNA analysis a lot of those questions can be answered with a high degree of confidence
