Columbus Day …

The Stone Age people in North America didn’t contribute squat to the rest of the world. They were truly prehistoric. (No written history was kept because they didn’t have a writing system. They scratched on cave walls with rocks and charcoal.)

Europeans were studying in colleges before they explored the world and settled in North America.

They studied:

Homer (The Iliad, and the Odyssey 750 BC)

Plato and Pythagoras (500 BC)

Aristotle (350 BC) philosophy

Diophantus of Alexandria (300 BC, wrote the first treatise on algebra)

The Bible

The Library of Alexandria Egypt was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion and existed during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (250 BC)

Have you ever seen videos of ‘undiscovered people’ throwing spears at helicopters? That’s what Indians would be doing if the Europeans hadn’t settled in North America.
