USA: Discovery Of 9th Century Quranic Manuscripts Predate Columbus Travels By Five Centuries - See more
For centuries it was believed that Christopher Columbus was the first man from the Old continent to cross the Atlantic to the New World, but new evidence from a research team from the University of Rhode Island suggests Muslim seafarers might just be the first people to have settled on the shores of America, a possibility that could rewrite history as we know it.

The only thing that's bollocks is that article.
I thought this had been accepted for some time that vikings got their first.
Of course, which is why it seems more likely that the Vikings left this stuff too.
Anyway, it's not really that interesting until we get the response from the Mormons.
Haven't you heard? Apparently if you can establish a member of your faith was the 'first' to do something then this proves it is the one true religion.
I'm working on proving that one Grog Mc Ugh (Cro Magnon, sun worshipper) was the first to fit 40 boiled eggs in his mouth, a feat which will require the rewriting of history and dismantling of all subsequent belief systems.
Wendy won't like that as Judaism pre-dates Islam by a few thousand years.

Sorry, I though your post was implying that we were still at the proof gathering stage rather than having accepted this happened.
It seems this is a bit of an agenda driven thread anyway rather than an interesting insight into history.
Erdogan, is that you?
There is also the face the Quran state the world is flat, so depending what direction the Arabs sailed they would have fell off end of the world before reaching America. Such is the wisdom in Islam.
I did wonder
