Columbus Did NOT Discover America

What's so civilized about it? Western civilization has been and always will be the model definition of civilized

Well, there's 'not so new' evidence that it was impossible for the Vikings to make it over to this side of the hemisphere due to the following main obstacle:

1) the type of ships they sailed were not rigged with sails that could address/handle the kind of water currents you'll find so far up the Atlantic (look up any 'Sailing Beginners' book to understand the situation). The currents are extremely weak that far north and they would need a motorized way to come further south towards the Canadian lands. It really begs the question; how were the logistics addressed back then when in fact, the ships were rigged with '1' paralized sail and a big crew to row, a crew that needs water and food. Remember, there were no marinas or depot points all over the coasts back then.

Anyway, according to evidence compiled in a book written in Portuguese (the English and other language versions should be out by the beginning of the summer), titled "Cristovão Colombo era (100%) Português" (Cristovao Colon was (100%) Portuguese), packed solid with facts regarding this subject matter and other different theories, suggests that, at the very least, by late 15th and throughout the 16th Centuries, the Portuguese were already here, way before Columbus (who's actually Salvador Fernandes Zarco, son of the man who discovered the islands of Madeira) and that a group of brothers, the Corte Real family, whose father discovered the Azores, had been here. Since sometime went by and the first boy did not return home, a brother came looking for him, having the same faith somewhere and so on. Additionally, DNA evidence might indicate that the crew/sailors actually mingled with the natives (who wouldn't when there are so many uncovered breasts and vagina running around) and took on new lives as local 'American Indians', even as tribal chiefs, as evidenced by the latin language origin of many words used in their vocabulary but might have also had a wish to go back home to Portugal but either lost their ships or not enough of them survived to make a long trip back home. There's a rock named the Dighton Rock (www.DightonRock.com) in Dighton, the state of Massachusetts in USA, that has carvings on it that makes this theory a possibility. And that the areas North of it, such as Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and so on, were also, at least from time to time, occupied by the Portuguese before the Corte Real family came accross. This evidence comes from some of the animals that were already here and are not native to this land; in fact, they come from the southwestern area of Europe.

Succeeding at making it accross to this side of the ocean was made possible only due to the Portuguese technological advancements of the time, that being the collection of square sails per ship, which is the only way to 'tackle' the winds coming from the Gulf Stream in the western Atlantic Ocean. Remember, the wind and current flows towards Europe and the only way to make it over to the western side of the Atlantic Ocean is to go South, shift the sails again and thus, come up the American Coast.

Also remember that this was during the time of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal and all of the Jewish Faith were given an ultimattum to either convert, leave or face the consequences. Also, keep in mind the competition that was going on between Spain and Portugal and the new lands being discorvered; lands full of riches and things never seen before. It is suggested that maps, contracts, etc., things we normally refer to as evidence, were falsely prepared in other to keep the other from discovering the other's lands and recent acquisitions, transactions, at least for as long as they could. Need I mention the nature of Market competition, something that's remained in place to this day? Espionage was huge at the time, probably more than during Hitler's era. Well, I can't really sit here and go through it all; I guess one must read the entire book to understand.

The Portuguese Director, Manoel de Oliveira, is currently wrapping up a film adaptation of this book and the premiere is scheduled for June 07 in USA. The movie is "Christopher Columbus - the Enigma". Although Master deOliveira claims it's not a scientific, historical or patriotic film, not even biographical but rather a romantic fiction, the book is a result of decades of research, including DNA tests, all evidence that will be hard to refute.
