We all know that Columbus discovered America in 1492. However, Columbus may not
have been the first person to visit America. Ancient Egyptians might have sailed to
America on large ships made with Lebanese wood. Why do we think this? Well, there are
pyramids in America which look like the pyramids in Saqqara. Also, some historians have
found small pieces of tobacco in Egyptian tombs. Tobacco was not brought to Egypt from
America until about 1600, so some historians think ancient Egyptians must have got the
tobacco from America thousands of years ago. But other historians think that workers
who helped to find the tombs may have left the tobacco there.
