How to use "Discovered" in context?
new continent
One day, a scientist was analyzing data on a map when he found something odd. Strangely shaped landmass that didn't quite fit on the other continents. He researched the region more and found that there was no evidence of anyone having ever visited the land. He decided to investigate and found that the landmass was made up of a different type of rock than any on the other continents. He named the landmass Lemuria and set out to find people who could help him explore it. After much effort, he finally found a group of fearless explorers who agreed to help him find out what was hidden on Lemuria.
