OTHER ARTICLES Since the time of the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus the man credited for the discovery of the new world, the new comers to the world have observed and documented the things which they seen, heard and experienced. The new comers to this world saw the ruins of what appeared as intricately built ancient cities, observed strange yet familiar habits of the indigenous.
