Did you know that some researchers suggest the Americas were visited by many other cultures long before Columbus ever set sail? This suggests that ancient man had advanced knowledge of shipbuilding and navigation. Advanced shipbuilding early in history makes sense because Noah and his sons knew how to build ships, and they likely passed this knowledge along. After God divided the languages at the tower of Babel, people spread out—including to the Americas.
Since man was created to fill the earth, it should be no surprise to those who believe the Bible that ancient man explored and traveled around the world.
