As far as I care, "discovered" is in relation to cartography, at which point most societies know of it and its location.

Anything else is just pathetic semantics that could go back through evolution and the chronology of Earth's continents and geography. No one wants that except a couple of Actually Guys.

Well then you can't go with Columbus. Basically no one in Asia or Africa knew what he did, let alone both of the Americas and Australia. So unless you define Europe as the only place with societies, Columbus doesn't even come close.

Sorry. Did I say I was "going with Columbus"?

most societies

I would change this to "a society" so Columbus discovered America for the European society while other societies already knew it or still didn't
