The American History taught 30 years ago is alot diffferent
than the American History taught today.

I'm pretty sure that I was the first person to find America. If memory serves me correctly, I found it, went back to Europe, and was enjoying a nice sit on my throne when Christopher Columbus, an Asian individual, a Viking, and a Native American came in and stole my findings and took all of the credit separately. To this day I have yet to get over this atrocity.

Read 1421 about 5 or 6 years ago. Didn't finish the whole book because it reads like a research book. Just thought it was interesting.

the maps tab on this site is pretty cool.
