      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.
