Funny question!!! I'd say the Phoenicians were the ones who discovered us in the sense Columbus discovered America. The sailed the Mediterranean, arrived in the South of Spain 3000 years ago and founded the town of Cadiz, which still exists. Actually, it is the oldest Western town!!

Starting from 10th century until Spanish reconquest in the second half of 15th century, Muslim city of Cordoba in Spain was the center of science and culture. If not Muslim knowledge and science Columbus would have never been able to cross the ocean.. Not many people talk about it today..\nRead more - I recommend "Infidels : A History of the Conflict Between Christendom and Islam" -- by Andrew Wheatcroft).\nOther scientific centers, with significant discoveries in the field of navigation, were by the time in Bagdad and of course in China.

A necessary prerequisite to the construction of the periodic table was the discovery of the individual elements. Although elements such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead and mercury have been known since antiquity, the first scientific discovery of an element occurred in 1649 when Hennig Brand discovered phosphorous. During the next 200 years, a vast body of knowledge concerning the properties of elements and their compounds was acquired by chemists (view a 1790 article on the elements). By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered. As the number of known elements grew, scientists began to recognize patterns in properties and began to develop classification schemes.

Spain and Portugal. England didn't really get into exploration and colonization until the 1600's - they spent the 1500's stabilizing the country.\n\nSpain mainly looked to the New World, Portugal mapped and colonized in Brazil, Africa, on to India during the 1500's.

Well, it was not known in Europe until after the discovery of America. There explorers encountered tobacco and the odd sight of people with smoke coming out of their mouths and noses.

Ferdinand Magellan was dubbed the "discoverer" of the Philippines after he landed on the island of Homonhon, near Samar, on March 17, 1521. He claimed the islands in the name of King Philip II of Spain and named them Felipinas, the Philippines. He was later killed in Mactan Island of Cebu in a clash with native warriors led by a chieftain named Lapu-lapu.

Christopher Columbus (October 30, 1451? – 20 May 1506) was an explorer and trader, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492 under the flag of Castile. History places a great significance on his landing in America in 1492, with the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, is celebrated in many parts of America. Although there is evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic Ocean European contact, Columbus is commonly credited as "the" European discoverer of the Americas because of the profound impact his contact wrought on history. His voyage marked the beginning of the European exploration and colonization of the Americas.\n\nIt is generally assumed he was 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. The real name of the explorer is also unknown; see the section on Columbus' national origin for a discussion of his origin and names.

The only logical explanation is that people other than the Europeans had already discovered the lands and fed the information upon which the de Virga world map was based.\n\nThere is a book, titled 1421, authored by Gavin Menzies. He argues for the proposition that the Chinese had been exploring the world -- and had discovered North America -- long before the Europeans did. His website is: www.1421.tv.

John Cabot's Voyage of Discovery \nJohn Cabot discovered the island of Newfoundland on June 24, 1497. Many people believe he landed at Cape Bonavista. Records from that time show that Cabot may also have landed on the shores of Labrador. \nI got this information from this website;\nhttp://www.stemnet.nf.ca/CITE/excabot.htm\n\nHow It Affected History\n\nEnglish explored on a much smaller scale.  In 1497 and 1498 Venetian John Cabot sponsored by Henry VII of England, explored North America looking for the Northwest Passage.  This was the basis of English claims to America.\n\nBecause they were unable to find gold or spices the English used the colonies for other purposes:\na) Religious prosecution\nb) Political prosecution\nc) Adventure\nd) Trade\n\nGradually the English government took a more active role in colonization seeing the opportunity to control the colonies and colonial trade.  \n\nThe Virginia Company settled Jamestown in 1607 and soon started exporting tobacco. \n\nReligious refugees (Pilgrims) settled Massachusetts in 1620.\n\nYou will find more information about John Cabot here.\nhttp://www.k12.nf.ca/discovery/grassroots/Matthew/johncabot.html\nand\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/tx/sandersonAP/NotesExp.html\nGood Luck

It was discovered by Antonio Ingognito, in 1983. He had a good idea it would be where it was because his Lonely Planet book said so. Other people had discovered it before but they weren't explorers.
