Discovered would mean, found inhabited
Yap, one of the many islands in Micronesia was one of the first empires, with historical myths and tales of the creation of mankind in the land and island of Gagil, one of the central islands of Yap. The story includes that from Yap the rest of the world was inhabited thousands of years ago.
However in historical tomes between 300 and 1200 BC small groups of Polynesians (from Marquesas and Tahiti) discovered several islands of southeastern Micronesia. One group reached the Caroline islands and settled there, mixing with the local population. The first Europeans to again discover Micronesia was the Spanish fleet of Magellan, on the first circumnavigation of the world in 1521
