BEIJING, January 11 (RIA Novosti) - A Mongolian professor of history has said America was discovered by the Mongolians and not Christopher Columbus, as is popularly believed, the Xinhua news agency reported late on Thursday.
Professor Sumiya Jambaldorj from the Genghis Khan University in the Mongolian capital, UIan Bator, performed a study proving the similarity between American place names and words in the Mongolian language.
"About 8,000 to 25,000 years ago, Mongols with stone tools crossed the Aleutian Islands and arrived in America," Jambaldorj was reported as saying.
The academic said that over 20 place names in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands could be Mongolian.
"Many names of places and rivers in the U.S. state of Alaska are believed to be Mongolian," he said.
The news agency said there were similar words in a Native American language and Mongolian, e.g. "hagaan," which means "ancestor" in Mongolian.
Jambaldorj said there was much in common between the ancestors of the Mongolians and the Native Americans, adding that some types of stone tools found in the Aleutian Islands had also been discovered in the Gobi desert area of Mongolia.
It is called a "Mongolian" spot but it could be named after all sorts of Asians.
Egyptians twice?
Yes, and I forgot to mention the Welsh (the coracle), a possible reference to west to east travel in (I think) Cicero, another one in pre-contact Iceland, oh, and the Egyptians.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to see the degree of relatedness between Mongols and “pure” Mayans relative to other groups via mitochondrial DNA.
I wanna see proof! -pictures, newspapers, dates!
Just for a humorous aside, I was present at the replicant landing of the hide boat, "St. Brendan" when it landed on its journey from Greenland to Fogo Island, Newfoundland in the late 70s ( 1979 or 1980, I forget.)
THe boat was about 30 feet long with hides stretched over a wood frame. The three men abopard were scarlet from exposure, and they had full wet suits on.
I have no idea how they managed to do it , just by square sail. She was towed in the last few miles, caught in the doldrum of no landward breeze that day, with a serious storm in the offing.

"In fourteen hundred twenty-one
China sailed there before anyone."
Damn you Mongowians! Always tying to dethtroy my chitty wall!
HAHAHA! Cheers.
I was there when they landed in St. Bendans, Fogo Island, Newfoundland in the summer of 1977. Being of Celtic decent, I did not want to miss it, and made the trip to Fogo from where I was then living in Newfoundland.
Tim and 2 others sailed fromo Ireland to Greenland in the summer of 1976. Then they did the second leg in the summer of 1977. They were very fortunate not to have all died, it was very risky business. All of the crew had to learn how to patch with leather before they left on the journey, a skill that they definitely needed.
Heres the Brendan, under full sail, light leather before a following wind:
And when they saw the first buffalo, they got the idea for Mongolian beef. But with no cattle, it became Mongolian Buffalo, but being there were no goldfish box containers, the idea quickly fell apart.
It was the end of the Mongolian occupation of North America.

Dan and David Hays, what a story!

This professor needs to get out more. We all know 'ole Chris wasn't the first one here. Heck, he never even hit 'America'.
But as to 'Mongolians' being first??? Wouldn't bet the rent on that.
