America Before Columbus - The Secret Continent | Full History Documentary - Part 1

The Akkadian Empire: • Ancient Apocalypse: Th...
It is the year 1491. America is a vast land with vast resources, but it is not a pristine wilderness. The continent is inhabited by a hundred million people. They live in complex urban societies that know little of each other.
This is the story of the Columbian Exchange, the greatest cultural exchange in history. We explore life in America and Europe in 1491, and why America was “discovered” and not the other way around.

A Viking settlement has been found in Newfoundland, Canada that pre-dates Columbus. I thought this might have a little information about that.

I am sure pretty much every person watching this video knows that. This documentary is showcasing the before and after Europeans changed the continent. Vikings found North America centuries earlier but they didn't introduce livestock, plant life or establish large colonies for long periods. So yes you are right but it's a moot point.

Sorry the United States
I like the documentary
Europe was not that overpopulated, especially given the plagues of the 14th and 15th centuries. Europe also had the capacity of long distance trade even in basic items like grains, fish or timber so those were imported to western europe from eastern europe and scandinavia through the Hansa. The peripheral regions retained their forests and were surely not overpopulated. The periphery had very destructive wars fought on the fault lines between Europe and the Ottomans and Tatars with mass raiding, slaving and battles larger then those of the 100 years war. The issue of money and trade were more immediate factors in pushing maritime exploration as europe didn't have gold mines and very few silver mines. Also, from the 3 routes to the far east only one remained open. The disintegration of the Golden horde and the incessant warfare in Poland, Russia and Ukraine closed the north silk route and transformed vast regions into no-mans land. The South route was blocked by the Ottomans (and the warfare going on in Persia) and the only open route was the Indian ocean to Suez and Alexandria, monopolized by Venice.

The first thing “America before Columbus“ shows us is Columbus, and the first thing I did was tune out.
There was no Queen of Spain or anything like the Spanish Crown in 1491 - Isabella was Queen of Castile and married to Ferdinand, King of Aragon. Only her grandson, Charles I. (or Charles V. as Holy Roman Emperor) was considered King of Spain from 1516 onwards. Nevertheless I enjoyed the Documentary, thanks for sharing.

Columbus never visited the area now occupied by the United States and it seems he didn't even believe that it existed. Other Europeans visited the Americas before him and of course it had been 'discovered' many thousands of years before. Columbus's voyages are notable because they marked the beginning of the wholesale colonization and exploitation of the New World.

Living under Aztec rule was absolute hell, human sacrifices and cannibalism was carried out on an industrial scale. The subjugated tribes allied with Cortez against this cruel Aztec rule. There is an unreasonable rosy coloured indigenous propaganda against an incredibly negative anti hispanic propaganda. In just 50 years the Spanish had already built hundreds of cities, hospitals and universities, yet all that is told to the world by the anglo Saxon narrative is death, destruction and theft. Most of the gold extracted remained in America to build infrastructures. It's terribly unfair that the Spanish, who were by far the most humane of all in comparison to the English, Dutch and French should be the target of ABSOLUTE SLANDER AND DEFAMATION.

Informative documentry about America. When America was not advanced region then India & Baghdad were developed and Prosperiteous Countries in the world.
Great educational material
Among quite a few omissions in this docudrama one stands out head and shoulders above the rest: the European hunger for spices. Some spices were as valuable as gold per weight. And the spices were in Asia, especially in India, but also in the islands farther east, but the Muslims controlled the access. The Portuguese chose the route around Africa, whereas Columbus chose the western route. When he reached the Caribbean islands he was convinced he reached the shores of India, and believed in it to his dying day. Hence the Indians.

Leif Ericsson sailed from Iceland, via Greenland to America long time before Columbus
0:20: I wouldn't call 12th October "summer of 1492"... 49:20: No, of course it was not Columbus that discovered America, the vikings were there long before him. His voyage was the important one though. He may have gotten inspiration from church records that made note of the churches built on Greenland
From d Philippines😇👼🏻🌷🎻🎄😍🧚🏻♂️🎄🎄🎄love to research
There was many buildings already here in north America.. John Levi has lots of info on you tube
PLEAASE READ THIS : 1- Columbus may have been born in Genoa, Venice, or even Portugal as suspected. But one thing is certain No one knew about Navigation like the Portuguese long before the Spanish, Infante Don Henrique, son of the King of Portugal João I, founded the first Naval School in the City of Sagres - Portugal in 1417, where Nautical Charts were made for the first time. with the Compass Rose (indicating the cardinal points), with the design of the sea coasts and the use of the Astrolabe, as well as the creation of the Portuguese Caravel inspired greatly by the Arab Triangular Sail 2- In this way, Columbus knew nothing about navigation on the high seas, just as all Italians (if he were Italian) would only know at most about navigation in the Mediterranean, and even at that time those who brought the Spices to Venice were the Arabs on land and eventually by vessels 3- For this reason Columbus must have remained in Portuguese lands to develop his knowledge, and for this reason he first addressed the King of Portugal before even turning to the Crown of Spain. 4- It is also suspected that Columbus may have been a spy in the Service of the Portuguese Crown as the King of Portugal wanted Spain far away from the Maritime Route to India. despite the Treaty of Tordesillas that handed over the seas of the East to Portugal, the King of Spain paid Columbus to find this sea route and not to go for navigation completely opposite to what everything indicated. 5- If you check Portuguese Maritime Charts long before Columbus (between the years 1440 and 1480) they already indicated red and blue markings at the ends of the Antilles and the Canadian Coast, where there is evidence (writings in rock and buildings in stone) that had arrived, but there was a big Problem - The famous Treaty of Tordesillas that divided the World in Half and even with the corrections that the Portuguese made to the Treaty (signed by the POPE) they only gave the possibility of going to the lands of Brazil (later discovered - of course the Portuguese knew about this land from storms in the Atlantic on the route to India), but it was no longer possible to indicate the Antilles as the Coast of Canada more in EAST already inside quadrant of Spain as a Portuguese land , because that would imply violation of the Treaty of Tordesillas = this would mean War between Portugal and Spain. In Conclusion: Before Columbus it could have been the Vikings, but there will have to be documentary proof and we Portuguese will accept this truth, but until proof to the contrary it was the Portuguese who secretly discovered America, but could not formalize this Discovery for the obvious reason of being able to go to war with Spain and this could mean losing the Reign of Portuguese Discoveries to the Spanish, including the entire Africa Coast and of course the Route to India and the East via the Sea. End of quote.
