A viking sailor who discovered north American 500 years after Christopher colimbus?
500 years after Christopher Columbus is incorrect. Leif Ericsson was thought to have discovered North America by way of Greenland -> Iceland -> Labrador -> Newfoundland around the year 1000 B.C. (Before Common Time [Also known as Before Christ]) His expedition and those after him were the first to colonize North America. Although they did not stay due to the deterioration of peaceful commerce with the natives.
