Surprisingly, Columbus discovering America was taught in the US for many years as was that the original Americans were the Pilgrims.

Columbus of course never set foot on American soil. He never got any closer than the islands south of Florida.

The Vikings were not even the first to cross the Atlantic as well. THis was done by Egyptians prior to them of course.

It has taken many hundreds of years for the American Indians being given credit as the first Americans.

I was just wondering what other countries were teaching their kids about us. Kind of interesting to say the least.
