So the gap between Russian and Alaska is only about 85 km and yet they didn't discover america? Are they actually fucking retarded or something? Meanwhile vikings were there 500 years before Columbus even. Nordchads when will we ever tire of winning?

why did mountain climbing only take off in the late 19th century?

Ancient Russians discovered the Americas ~20,000 years ago

>>17929453 (OP)

Ho ahead anon, take a wooden sailboat across that meager 85km. Show us how easy it is.

What do you think the viking ships were made of?

this is a bait thread right?

The Russians didn’t always have that land. They weren’t even close to reaching the Far East when Columbus, and much less the Vikings, discovered America.

When america was discovered, "russia" barely extended past the volga. I don't know what the natives of the bering area knew about america but it doesn't matter because they did nothing of note anyway, and obviously didn't inform any europeans.

I hate to do this, but technically Vitus Bering was ethnically Danish. A nordchad in the employ of the Tsar (ethnically German at that point).

step 1: build amphibious catamaran
step 2: bring some spare reindeer
step 3: harness reindeer to the hull and use catamaran as a giant sled
easy peasy

How? If you go to the Diomede islands you can literally see Alaska on a good day
