Don’t we already have evidence that the Vikings got to America first?
Yes. People already existed here, the Vikings visited first (and most say the Irish too), Columbus didn’t “discover” shit. Only thing he did was rape, pillage, and enslave. And we have a holiday dedicated to him…
And as incredible as it may sound, all of that pales in comparison to the diseases they brought and spread.

Yes, Vikings were the first Europeans that we know of; and China was the first of the Old World.
3 hr video? Any TL;DW?
TL;DW - There are carvings, stories, genetic evidence, linguistic evidence, and historical accounts that collectively support the idea that contact by the Irish (and maybe other Europeans) occurred 1000 years before Columbus and this dude in Galway knew about it from trying and then might have been in cahoots with Columbus to go there, but Columbus took all the credit as an “accidental” discovery.
Does anyone know of any good books on the subject?

This would make a great deep dive subject for someone with a lot of time on their hands for research.
