 Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the 1980s, this theory had largely become a dogma; and claims of pre-Columbian contacts were often automatically dismissed, or even ridiculed, by most mainstream scholars.
Claims of contact have often been based on occurrences of similar motifs in art and decoration, or on depictions in one World of species or objects that are thought to be characteristic of the other World.
Other claims of contacts with Egypt were based on reports that some chemical tests run on Egyptian mummies had found traces of plant products native to the Americas, such as tobacco and coca.

Although there is evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, and it is questionable whether one person can "discover" a place which is inhabited by other people, Columbus is often credited as having discovered America.
Monuments to Columbus (including the Columbian Exposition in Chicago) were erected throughout the United States and Latin America, extolling him as a hero.
The issue of Columbus's 'nationality' became an issue after the rise of nationalism; the issue was scarcely raised until the time of the quadricentenary celebrations in 1892 (see World's Columbian Exposition), when Columbus's Genoese origins became a point of pride for some Italian Americans.

 Columbian Exchange - meaning of word
That year, Christopher Columbus' voyage of discovery launched an era of large-scale contact between the Old and the New World that resulted in this ecological revolution: hence the name "Columbian" Exchange.
Before the Columbian Exchange, there were no Orange (fruit)s in Florida, no bananas in Ecuador, no rubber trees in Africa, no cattle in Texas, no burros in Mexico, no chile peppers in Thailand, no cigarettes in France and no chocolate in Switzerland.
The Columbian Exchange has been one of the most significant events in the history of world ecology, agriculture, and culture.

This implies that there was pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact between America and India or that the centre of origin of maize might not be Mexico as is generally known.
The strength of these inferences rests on whether the maize like structures (MLS) at Somanathpur do represent maize cobs.
Based on this, it is inferred that maize was being cultivated in India even before Columbus (1498 A.D.) introduced it from America to Old World (Mangelsdorf 1974).

 Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The general belief was no trans-oceanic voyages to the Americas could have occurred before the age of European exploration, which culminated in Christopher Columbus's voyage of 1492.
Linguistics suggests that there were three waves of contact from Siberia, the most recent being that of the ancestors of the Inuit.
More recently, the efforts of linguist Kathryn A. Klar of UC Berkeley and archaeologist Terry L. Jones of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo have gained support for the trans-pacific theory using new evidence and research, to be published in the journal American Antiquity in July 2005.

 Christopher Columbus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Besides the fact that there were many instances of Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, and it is questionable whether one person can "discover" a place which is inhabited by other people, Columbus is often credited as having discovered America.
He was most likely Genoese, although some historians claim he could have been born in other places, from the Crown of Aragón to the Kingdoms of Galicia or Portugal, or in the Greek island of Chios among others.
Columbus left from Cádiz, Spain for his second voyage (1493-1496) on September 24, 1493, with 17 ships carrying supplies and about 1200 men to assist in the subjugation of the Taíno and the colonization of the region.
