Teribus Early Atlantic crossings West-East (92* d) RE: Early Atlantic crossings West-East 03 Sep 17


Who's "warring" pfr?

Certainly not me, my contributions to this thread have been relevant to the subject under discussion and to points raised and directed at me.

The topic that intrigues me most is the one concerning the "Egyptian" Mummies, as that appears to present actual evidence. Now whether that was of voyages from West to East, or return journeys by seafarers who first travelled East to West we have no idea. The timing set by the dates given to the nine mummies puts the period in the time of the Phoenicians and we know that they ventured down the West coast of Africa and as far north as the British Isles and Norway.

I would tend to discount the West to East idea as there is no evidence of any strong maritime tradition in the Americas. That leaves East to West and IF that was the case why is there no mention of the lands they travelled to - or is this Atlantis? It also begs the question, "Why did these voyages stop?"
