yeah the issue with "discovered" is cultural interpretation, not factual. If you assume that indigenous people don't count, or if non-aristocrats going there doesn't count as discovery, or if it was discovered by Asian peoples but not yet by Western peoples...

I dunno if a fact-checking website can get into it as it is figuratively and literally critical race theory (ooOOOOooOOOoh!) to have that discussion.
