The Viking-age Norse established settlements on the southwestern coast of Greenland about A.D. 1000, and these continued to be occupied until the early 15th century. Although less than 400 km separated the Norse Greenlandic colonies from the coasts of Arctic Canada, and explorations to the west of Greenland are described in Icelandic sagas, surprisingly little is known of ventures to North America. The archaeological site at L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland confirms saga accounts that the Norse established a short-lived station in Atlantic Canada at some time around A.D. 1000 (Ingstad, 1985; Linderoth Wallace, 20032006). In Arctic Canada and northwestern Greenland a number of Norse artifacts have been found in the remains of early Inuit settlements dating to the 13th or 14th centuries, suggesting occasional contact with the Greenlandic Norse or the salvage of a Norse shipwreck by Inuit who had recently arrived in the area from their Alaskan homeland (Schledermann, 1980; McCullough, 1989). Until recently the Norse presence in the eastern North American Arctic and Subarctic was assumed to have been limited to brief and infrequent explorations (Jones, 1986; Linderoth Wallace,2003).

Dutch Josh. This very interesting to me. I have always believed that there have been International travelers for at least the last 8,000 years and probably much longer than that.Johnray1

Johnray1, also Phoenicia and China might have been in North America after the Indian tribes and before Columbus sailed to the Caribian. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia)

Dutch Josh,that is true. They have also found trace amounts of tobacco and cocaine in Egyptian mummies  1,000s of years old. Both of these plants were only found in the NEW World.

There is another case that has recieved very little attention for some reason.Probably because it would have changed the Columbus theory.  But sometime back in the 1920s, an Archeology team that was gathering information on one of the Southwestern India Tribes. This tribe buried its dead buy placing them in caves and it very dry in the southwest,so there was very little decay. One of the skeletons that they found was placed in a box and taken back to that University. It set in the basement of that University,untouched, until the 1980s and some one decided to look at it. The first thing that they noticed was the skull and facial bones did appear to be the same as the other skulls from that area. Many people looked at the skull and they decided that it was the skull of a European. They Carbon dated the skull and it dated 8,000 years old.Nothing else was ever said about that.Johnray1

Have a look at Kennewick man. 9000 years old and found in America. It's a long article but the last page and a half are the most interesting. 

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.
