I don't like to see that phrase- "_ _ _ _ _discovered America" in a title. One person "discovered" America effectively and that was the Italian sailing for Ferdinand and Isabella. It seems that lots of other folks had been back and forth across the Atlantic for millennia but they did not initiate any large scale colonization or trade. Columbus brought the Americas to the attention of all of maritime Europe and brought Western Civilization to the Americas. Thus, so far as it is relevant to civilization, Columbus discovered America and even he probably traveled with prior information given that he had access to maps that showed something out there.

Columbus made it here, and he made it back ~ FOUR TIMES.

He told others about it! Fur shur the ancient Peruvian dope dealers who took all that coke to Egypt didn't really tell anybody where they came from ~ or the Egyptians would have found it!
