America was allegedly first discovered by an Irish monk, St Brendan, who was born around 484AD. Following the discovery of examples of Ogham, an ancient Celtic Script, on stone carvings in Wyoming, West Virginia, it would make his voyage to the Land of Promise quite a few hundred years prior to the landing of Sir Christopher Columbus in 1492.

About Us
