It was't just Rome's brother, it literally was Rome, or at least the Roman Empire. Just because the West half was disintegrated doesn't mean it was game over for the Empire.
Well let's see. First let me say that although I wouldn't describe myself as religious nor conservative - I live in an area where many people are - so I'm weary of both sides of historical interpretation. There are a few issues with this. One is that it suggests the Crusades just began out of nowhere, as if Christians just did them for fun. It ignores Muslim conquests into Europe as if they didn't exist/weren't provoking a response. In general, it completely leaves out any sort of cause of the Crusades. It leaves out the Seljuk Turks' attacks into the Byzantine Empire, which is what directly led to the Byzantine Emperor calling on the Pope for help. It adds little text bubbles above the crusaders "Let's attack Muslims!" or whatever it says... A student watching is going to get the impression that they were just for fun, an exciting religious conquest. Now it also describes Christianity as an add-on to education during the time of Charlemagne when it was actually the centerpiece. I'm not a religious person, I have no stake in this. It's just interesting how it doesn't show (and even suggests to the contrary) how much of a dominant role churches played in education. Also, it acts as if the plague "undermined" the church...that's completely subjective and debatable. It could be argued that the church was strengthened after the plague. I could keep going, but those are the just the main things that popped out to me as I watched.
prehistoricRAP Thank you sir or ma'am for not falling into this trap! I'm happy I met someone with rational thinking and the capacity to see beyond flashy graphics.
oh so peaceful catholics helping other christians eh? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade here educate yourself about "crusades" pretty please www.usna.edu/Users/history/abels/hh315/crusades_timeline.htm the crusades had more reasons to start than "just defending againts angry muslims"
I realize that some simplification is needed, but just to point out when Leonardo da Vinci was born, the Italian Renaissance was well under way, since the prior century, in fact. A precise date is not really possible, but I think there is a general consensus that it began in the 14th century, whereas he was not born until 1452. Petrarch is generally considered to be an early Renaissance figure and his work was most notable in the 1330's-1350's.
Constantinople was a very important city to Europe, and after the city was taken by the Othmans (The Turks), it was one of the main reasons that ended the Middle Ages.
+Luffy in turkish school they teach us that is the end of the middle age. so agree with you beacuse after falling constantin some of scientist escape to the europe
@@comrademew6803 actually, it was supposed to be Leif Erikson who made it to America first in around the year 1000, but granted he only lingered around the north of Canada
Whoever was the first Homosapien to discover the Americas was the first Homosapien to discover the Americas technically speaking which was probably thousands of years ago
Columbus was the one who did in fact discover the Americas in the sense that 1: He had no concrete knowledge of them before he arrived and thus finding himself in a new area unknown to him is called a discovery. 2: It was only after Columbus found his way to the Americas that others began to follow suit. Leif Ericson did not cause large numbers of people to begin moving to the Americas, so his "discovery" is far less significant historically in that there was little impact on the world. Therefore, Columbus being the first man to sail to the Americas and bring back information that led others to sail there as well means he did in fact discover the Americas for Europe to begin settleing there.
The crusades were not so much a holy war as much as a religious pilgrimage in which cities would have to be retaken. They were also a response to Turkish raids of Jerusalem and the moorish occupation of Iberia.
YES! Finally simplified, popular history that does not portray the Middle Ages as a time of superstition and ignorance. It was a complex, dynamic, deeply fascinating era.
Mark Anthony Bulaon WTF? Do you know anything about medieval history?? Torture was less gruesome than Roman torture (crucifixion, gladiatorial combat, etc.); the Black Death was only to the mid-to end of the 14th century (which is only a small fraction of the medieval period) and disease is not unique to the middle ages, see the Plague of Athens or outbreaks of Cholera in other periods; and finally, religious war tore up Europe... in the late 1500's after the Protestant Reformation. Europe was not notable war-torn during the Middle Ages. Finally, I'd advise you to improve your grammar before you try to be a smartass. Otherwise, you look like an idiot.
+Mark Anthony Bulaon Woooooow. Your best rebuttal is a childish "fuck you" -- obviously you can't even support a simple argument. I'd like to see you do better.

(www.britannica.com/biography/al-Khwarizmi) I could give you so many more names of medieval scientists and philosophers. Those are just two examples off the top of my head. Basically, YES, there was LOTS of science in the Middle Ages, and the Bible was NOT the only source of knowledge by a LONG SHOT.
Mark Anthony Bulaon Give me one example of a scientist in the Middle Ages (500-1500) burned or persecuted because of practicing science. Then I will believe you. Hint: Hypatia, Giordano Bruno and Galileo are from either before or after that time period. They are either ANCIENT or RENAISSANCE, not MEDIEVAL
13th century: "Finally we see some progress." Okay, this is not the Middle Ages, this is mainstream history. During the Middle Ages, NOTHING was more decisive than agriculture, not the crossbow, not the compass, not the windmill, not even the influence of the Church. There were a HUGE amount of innovations regarding agriculture during that period, and without those innovations, we wouldn't be where we are now. Yet, we don't hear of it, because you stick with that biased Renaissance view of the medieval Era. "Science: a Discovery in Comics", you say? No, I'm sorry but this is not science. This is fairytales. Learn some history and demographics before you pretend to pass knowledge on our children.
Now I'm confused on what history should be the turth. Where do we find proves of fact of what really did happen in the past? Do you even sure if what you believe to be the truth of history of the world is the real truth? How can one proves it?
Wow. You totally ignored Justinian, his corpus juris civilis and pretty much everything about the byzantines, even their fall, which marks the end of the middle ages.
Crossbows were not a new Invention in the crusades the the first account of crossbows were actually in China in the 6th Century BC and the first European Crossbows were found in the 5th Century BC.

I sort it's important to point out that the foundations for the university system was first laid down in Europe in the twelfth century. There have always been "schools of learning" and Al-Azhar in Cairo and Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez, Morroco claim to be the continually oldest because they are now universities. But there were many schools of learning in India and in ancient Greece too prior to this. I think it's important to point out that the recognizable system that we know as a university (with the recognizable university academic rankings etc) has been applied backwards to these schools. Does this affect this info graphic? Only that the Islamic world did not have a "university" we'd recognize them today. They had schools of learning of which some have adopted the university system since.
@@Mitsuki_Yukito The system of "university" cannot exist before the first university was created in the 11th century. You can say a word is a translation and it doesn't indicate when that translation got that meaning. It's a translation and the meanings of words change all the time. If someone said "jami'a" meant "university" in the 10th century that would have been impossible because the concept of a university hadn't been invented, so they couldn't apply the concept. As an example, someone today could decide that "jami'a" also now means "airplane" (I know it doesn't, its just an example). You wouldn't then argue that because the word "jami'a" has been in use for centuries it means the airplane was invented years before it was actually invented.
@@ecolieee628 It is lame/BIAS. Crusades were a way to rid the Muslims out of Europe/Africa/Eastern Europe and take back what was originally Byzantium and Christendom. The Muslim menace was even in Ibera (Italy) which was eventually taken back by Christians. Christians were raided by, vikings, attacked by ottomen Empire and attacked by the Muslim menace. Everyone was "bad" back in the day lol. No mention of the Magna Carta even...
Well, not really tbh. Just because Jerusalem, Antioch and other cities in the levant where held by Muslims before the First Crusade doesn't mean much changed. Christians in Europe where still perfectly free to go on pilgrimages to these holy sites and could freely worship God there. The First Crusade only started because Seljuk Turks conquered some land in Anatolia, leading to the Roman Emperor calling on Pope Urban for aid. The conquest of the Holy Land as an excuse for the Crusades by then was pretty out of date as well as dumb, though it is justified to retaliate war from the Seljuks with a military expedition.
@@awtqrtrkjsrs For true believers it wouldn't really matter if those lands were conquered yesterday or centuries ago. They were clearly important. But yeah, my comment was more referring to the Seljuks taking apart the Byzantine Empire. So it's not like the "Christians are attacking" but rather defending themselves.
This video is cute, but very biased against the Western world and the Catholic Church. It highlights the accomplishments of the East, which ought to be acknowledged more, but isn't fair to the West.
So you know how there’s EPCOT Park where there’s a bunch of various countries simulated as tiny villages? I’d love to have that but for different eras. Like a time travel park.
What's with all of you thinking the same thing, even after I've indicated otherwise? Is this how you develop your unearned confidence and false sense of security? Let me be clear: I enjoyed how they compiled important pieces of history into a video. It was well done, and I appreciate how they made it short and sweet because I was taking a history course, in which most of these facts were referenced; it allowed me to stay interested in a class, which was not of my major. Simple? I think so.
Forgot the Byzantine empire :-) . I wonder why people forget it, The arabs and eastern romans- byzantines were into glorious era in the Middle Ages while in west it was a dark era..
People sweep the Eastern Romans under the rug most probably because the catholics in Western Europe where not fans of Orthodox Christianity (the religion of the Eastern Romans) and in the Renaissance, people in Italy who glorified the memory of their ancestors in Ancient Rome didn't like the fact that Rome still actually existed, but maintained by ethnic Greeks, so they gave them the title "Byzantines". This rhetoric is actually really annoying and makes people generally completely forget that the Roman Empire existed through to the very end of the Middle Ages. It's really annoying and it's good to see others pointing them out.
+Eric Howard | She does focus on the West, and maybe the title should be "The Western and Middle Eastern Middle Ages." But overall, she does a surprisingly good job.
and just for the record, this video was really short, obviously it wasn't going to get down everything. People want their religion or race to always be superior even in the past. history is history people. Yes the middle east was far ahead of us in science, and yes Europe was stupid.... get over it.
In addition to all the other comments, you ignore all the scientific advancements made during the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages, aside from maybe the first century or two, were not as "Dark" as the Enlightenment scribes made them out to be. Plenty of new things were invented during that time, even before the point in time you point out a few things were made in this video.
This is pretty good but I take issue with the "Columbus discovers America". He thought he was in Asia and he never even got to North America, only the Caribbean islands.
While I agree with comments here that it is difficult to cover a period of history in such a short time and certainly important things happened during those years in the Americas, as well as in the Middle and Far East, as a Medieval scholar, I feel this video reinforces the myth that the period was a "dark age" where technology and classical learning and technology suffered, especially compared to the previous Roman period and subsequent Rennaisance period as well the related concept that the church was largely a force for suppressing learning.
Well that depends what you mean by the Renaissance. The Renaissance is a very vague era of history, meaning that my statement here can be interpreted as right, wrong, or only partially right, but the general view on the start of the Renaissance is when refugees fleeing from the Ottoman-conquered Constantinople arrived in Italy, bringing with them art and knowledge from Ancient Rome and Greece that had been preserved by the Romans in Constantinople.
Strangely it's not mentioned Swabian king Frederick II, called "Stupor Mundi" (wonder of the world); a charismatic figure of his time (13th century); man of great culture (he spoke six languages including fluent arabic), fond in art, literature, architecture, techniques of falconry, anatomy and more; furthermore excellent diplomatic and politician! Check on yt: "Frederick II liked a strange, mysteriuos geometry"
Of course, but I think the vid is so one sided the creators don't even consider this as "east", most probably for them it's a "galaxy far, far away" :D
because byzantine was backwards and not really done any progress also hated by west. not comparable to advances that muslim world made en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade but you are right it should have included
So uh, this video seems a little harsh on Europe? Why does the artist feel the need to say "we beat you to it" after a European invents something? 1:02 & 2:25
***** Because america wasn't even discovered untill the very end of the middle ages perhaps? And it only really started to become more popular during if not after the renaissance..
Medieval Europe doesn't include Byzantium. It's supposed to be about what happens in Europe after Rome falls. Though it is weird it did not include the rise of the Ottoman empire, you people need to calm down.
I would have loved to see some extra tid-bits (ex : Mongol Invasion , First Use Of GunPowder in Europe , fall of Constantinople , and a few more events) but this is quite good !
TID-BITS? You mean important events that should definitely have been included. Without the Mongol invasions, much technology and knowledge from East Asia would not have arrived to Europe until probably centuries later (since the Mongols where the ones to restore the silk road), and there would likely be no Russian Nation. Without gunpowder in Europe, there would have likely been practically no European global empires and widespread colonialism by the English, Spanish, French and others. Without the fall of Constantinople, Rome would have endured and the ancient classical Greek and Roman art and information would not have reached Western Europe to kickstart the Renaissance, which led to the Enlightenment, which led in turn to the Industrial Revolution etc... In conclusion, you can't wrap 1000 years of important history into 3 1/2 minutes, because it just isn't possible, especially when the creator of the video is approaching it from a Euro-centric, biased and unhistorical perspective. So there.
They will find a way to blame Europeans for that (why Islam didn't have a scientific revolution). I find it interesting how the non-west spends so much time claiming they are equal to or better than Europe yet at the same time they show how much better we are by blaming us for all their downfalls.
because they were already enlightened and gone backwards after that point. islamic world became darker and chistian world became more enlightened thanks to eastern transcripts and Renaissance
When was the Medieval Europe? (from-to) What are some of the key features of the Medieval time period? Who were some significant individuals in Medieval Europe? Write a list. What was feudalism? Write a list of the terms that make up the social system. Why did the Medieval era end?
Top youtube hits on middle ages history and everyone completely ignores the military, economic, legal and spiritual advancements of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine). Also throw in philosophy and architecture. Justinian and Leo VI the wise. The First universities were opened in Italy and France.
2:01- Well, except Genoese seem to use them alot, even against English knights. But maybe exempt after Pope got his power neutered or that Genoese happened to be very rich nobles.
Well the Pope only has so much power (and Pope Innocent was especially not very respected, which is fully justified based on his acts) and the crossbow, as well as bows and slings where only banned by the pope when used against christians.
Yay! You might get executed for a minor crime, or tortured or imprisoned in a terrible prison. You might even get caught in a war if you're lucky! Then you'll become either a refugee, a prisoner, a conscripted soldier, slave or perhaps even a dead body! But wait, there's more! Have some diseases, whether it be infections from minor flesh wounds or simply a virus from simply eating a piece of food! I know this is a bit cynical, but the point is that historical periods are romanticized as amazing times when it would be so cool to be there, but then society was pretty segregated between classes, death and suffering was around every corner and life would generally be ... well ... not so great. To me, 10 minute trips in a time machine would be a better idea.

The Muslim menace was even in Ibera (Italy) which was eventually taken back by Christians. Christians were raided by, vikings, attacked by ottomen Empire and attacked by the Muslim menace. Everyone was "bad" back in the day lol.
No mention of the Magna Carta even...
@@hellinterface6721 The crusades were first taking back, later they attacked muslims original lands.
So, the crusades were unprovoked apparently... okay...
Well, not really tbh. Just because Jerusalem, Antioch and other cities in the levant where held by Muslims before the First Crusade doesn't mean much changed. Christians in Europe where still perfectly free to go on pilgrimages to these holy sites and could freely worship God there. The First Crusade only started because Seljuk Turks conquered some land in Anatolia, leading to the Roman Emperor calling on Pope Urban for aid. The conquest of the Holy Land as an excuse for the Crusades by then was pretty out of date as well as dumb, though it is justified to retaliate war from the Seljuks with a military expedition.
@@awtqrtrkjsrs For true believers it wouldn't really matter if those lands were conquered yesterday or centuries ago. They were clearly important.
But yeah, my comment was more referring to the Seljuks taking apart the Byzantine Empire. So it's not like the "Christians are attacking" but rather defending themselves.
@@Siegbert85 Yeah, I agree on that. A counterattack is not an act of aggression and is therefore not truly an attack.
This video is cute, but very biased against the Western world and the Catholic Church. It highlights the accomplishments of the East, which ought to be acknowledged more, but isn't fair to the West.
its..... history.
nina eide The west made many discoveries during the Middle Ages that this video didn't highlight.
The fact that I’m here because of school is so random
So you know how there’s EPCOT Park where there’s a bunch of various countries simulated as tiny villages? I’d love to have that but for different eras. Like a time travel park.
:O I am in awe. This is so amazing. So well done!!! My goodness. Thank you!
Good thing that's not the case :)
What's with all of you thinking the same thing, even after I've indicated otherwise? Is this how you develop your unearned confidence and false sense of security?
Let me be clear: I enjoyed how they compiled important pieces of history into a video. It was well done, and I appreciate how they made it short and sweet because I was taking a history course, in which most of these facts were referenced; it allowed me to stay interested in a class, which was not of my major.
Simple? I think so.
Rich Perez Some people are just too rude...
Great video
Forgot the Byzantine empire :-) . I wonder why people forget it, The arabs and eastern romans- byzantines were into glorious era in the Middle Ages while in west it was a dark era..
People sweep the Eastern Romans under the rug most probably because the catholics in Western Europe where not fans of Orthodox Christianity (the religion of the Eastern Romans) and in the Renaissance, people in Italy who glorified the memory of their ancestors in Ancient Rome didn't like the fact that Rome still actually existed, but maintained by ethnic Greeks, so they gave them the title "Byzantines". This rhetoric is actually really annoying and makes people generally completely forget that the Roman Empire existed through to the very end of the Middle Ages. It's really annoying and it's good to see others pointing them out.
Yep clearly biased.
Did anyone have to do question for this in school?
yeah
So much bias.. cool drawings though.
+Eric Howard dude i know its so true shes so biased
+Eric Howard | She does focus on the West, and maybe the title should be "The Western and Middle Eastern Middle Ages." But overall, she does a surprisingly good job.
That's really history's fault
Ikr
HE DIDN'T MENTION THAT MUSLIM ARE THE ONE THAT ATTACKING CHRISTIAN AND THE CRUSADER WAS A DEFENDING WAR!
I know right it is like this person has a grudge against the west or something.
Hoi, Margreet! Leuke video!
were is the 3 field system? And the Hanse (trading alliance)?
@BenkethePirate the video is 3 and half minutes long...not everything can fit in there
@@Marmaidena Well then the creator of the video shouldn't claim that it is literally 1000 years squeezed into 3 1/2 minutes.
this video was well done!
and just for the record, this video was really short, obviously it wasn't going to get down everything. People want their religion or race to always be superior even in the past. history is history people. Yes the middle east was far ahead of us in science, and yes Europe was stupid.... get over it.
In addition to all the other comments, you ignore all the scientific advancements made during the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages, aside from maybe the first century or two, were not as "Dark" as the Enlightenment scribes made them out to be. Plenty of new things were invented during that time, even before the point in time you point out a few things were made in this video.
Your absolutely right
This is very cool video I will sub u!
This is pretty good but I take issue with the "Columbus discovers America". He thought he was in Asia and he never even got to North America, only the Caribbean islands.
While I agree with comments here that it is difficult to cover a period of history in such a short time and certainly important things happened during those years in the Americas, as well as in the Middle and Far East, as a Medieval scholar, I feel this video reinforces the myth that the period was a "dark age" where technology and classical learning and technology suffered, especially compared to the previous Roman period and subsequent Rennaisance period as well the related concept that the church was largely a force for suppressing learning.
Mark: The renaissance begun a century earlier
Well that depends what you mean by the Renaissance. The Renaissance is a very vague era of history, meaning that my statement here can be interpreted as right, wrong, or only partially right, but the general view on the start of the Renaissance is when refugees fleeing from the Ottoman-conquered Constantinople arrived in Italy, bringing with them art and knowledge from Ancient Rome and Greece that had been preserved by the Romans in Constantinople.
The video is good but the crossbow was invented nearly 1,000 years earlier than what you put
Europeans started doing things with the discoveries from the East and Middle East who got mired in their own shelves.
Where are the Byzantines?!!...
This is a nice video
2:47- Mr. Peasant, I don't feel so good.
*SNAPS!
Strangely it's not mentioned Swabian king Frederick II, called "Stupor Mundi" (wonder of the world); a charismatic figure of his time (13th century); man of great culture (he spoke six languages including fluent arabic), fond in art, literature, architecture, techniques of falconry, anatomy and more; furthermore excellent diplomatic and politician! Check on yt: "Frederick II liked a strange, mysteriuos geometry"
awesome ... short and great fast video....
Greek fire was invented in ancient time.
So, "meanwhile in the East" means the Muslim world? Seriously? Not a word about the Byzantine civilization?
Clueless...
Themistocles Papassilekas Lets not forget China and Japan.
Of course, but I think the vid is so one sided the creators don't even consider this as "east", most probably for them it's a "galaxy far, far away" :D
because byzantine was backwards and not really done any progress also hated by west. not comparable to advances that muslim world made
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade
but you are right it should have included
+Richard Winters lol, good one
Gryzor care to debunk?
So uh, this video seems a little harsh on Europe? Why does the artist feel the need to say "we beat you to it" after a European invents something?
1:02 & 2:25
So biased...
It's kind of hard to share or intake history in such a brief manner with out showing, or being perceived of elements of being biased.
In what way?
tiakpark christian biasd, there was nothing about asia or america
*****
Because america wasn't even discovered untill the very end of the middle ages perhaps? And it only really started to become more popular during if not after the renaissance..
Tesla what about the Aztecs and Incas?
Columbus didn't "discover" America. The Native Americans were already here.
all columbus saw was slave labour and subhumans
He discovered it for the Europeans.
Medieval Europe doesn't include Byzantium. It's supposed to be about what happens in Europe after Rome falls. Though it is weird it did not include the rise of the Ottoman empire, you people need to calm down.
I Love how he putted the crusade flag Into denmark even the real crusader's flag is White And Red Cross
I would have loved to see some extra tid-bits (ex : Mongol Invasion , First Use Of GunPowder in Europe , fall of Constantinople , and a few more events) but this is quite good !
TID-BITS? You mean important events that should definitely have been included. Without the Mongol invasions, much technology and knowledge from East Asia would not have arrived to Europe until probably centuries later (since the Mongols where the ones to restore the silk road), and there would likely be no Russian Nation. Without gunpowder in Europe, there would have likely been practically no European global empires and widespread colonialism by the English, Spanish, French and others. Without the fall of Constantinople, Rome would have endured and the ancient classical Greek and Roman art and information would not have reached Western Europe to kickstart the Renaissance, which led to the Enlightenment, which led in turn to the Industrial Revolution etc... In conclusion, you can't wrap 1000 years of important history into 3 1/2 minutes, because it just isn't possible, especially when the creator of the video is approaching it from a Euro-centric, biased and unhistorical perspective. So there.
I just wish you could have the comic appear without that hand blocking it
You forgot the Islamic Renaissance and Enlightenment ! Oh, yeah. THey did not have one.
They will find a way to blame Europeans for that (why Islam didn't have a scientific revolution). I find it interesting how the non-west spends so much time claiming they are equal to or better than Europe yet at the same time they show how much better we are by blaming us for all their downfalls.
because they were already enlightened and gone backwards after that point. islamic world became darker and chistian world became more enlightened thanks to eastern transcripts and Renaissance
Thank you this is so helpful for my midterm
Te falta el virus, la corona ya la tenes
also I personally think you should have talked about Justinian conquests but that's just me
Or you know, about the general fact that the LITERAL ROMAN EMPIRE was still around. Just, you know, very important stuff to include.

Wow, that was entertaining and educational. Thank you for your work.
Good work, thx for the comment
Top youtube hits on middle ages history and everyone completely ignores the military, economic, legal and spiritual advancements of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine). Also throw in philosophy and architecture. Justinian and Leo VI the wise. The First universities were opened in Italy and France.
This really helped me for my homework, and made it in an interesting way. Thank you.

I like this. dont let it get to you that so many people are easily butthurt
Looks like Islam was just a nice peaceful society of scientists.
2:01- Well, except Genoese seem to use them alot, even against English knights. But maybe exempt after Pope got his power neutered or that Genoese happened to be very rich nobles.
Well the Pope only has so much power (and Pope Innocent was especially not very respected, which is fully justified based on his acts) and the crossbow, as well as bows and slings where only banned by the pope when used against christians.
yall are fighting over which religion is better but i just want to pass my test!
I wish i can live every period in the past to experience how the culture and life was in person..I can only hope..
Yay! You might get executed for a minor crime, or tortured or imprisoned in a terrible prison. You might even get caught in a war if you're lucky! Then you'll become either a refugee, a prisoner, a conscripted soldier, slave or perhaps even a dead body! But wait, there's more! Have some diseases, whether it be infections from minor flesh wounds or simply a virus from simply eating a piece of food!
I know this is a bit cynical, but the point is that historical periods are romanticized as amazing times when it would be so cool to be there, but then society was pretty segregated between classes, death and suffering was around every corner and life would generally be ... well ... not so great. To me, 10 minute trips in a time machine would be a better idea.
Fabulous and the incidental music too. Is there a young kid's version, say six thru ten?
For some reason this was shown in my music class...
What is the music playing in the background?

Ok ancient humans discovered it and Columbus rediscovered it and wrote in history books.
@@GizmoFTW no he didn't. He is miscredited with that info. As of now, the true first Europeans we know of that went to the Americas were the Norse. The same people that named Greenland and Iceland
