The Irish monk sobered up from a two month drunk-on when he ran aground in Nova Scotia.

Of course, the space aliens were there before all of them.

The issue is not “who was first” but “what came of it”, and as for the “Arabs” (or was it the Berbers) of “Andalusia” we KNOW - that nothing came of it, where as the European conquests of the Americas followed EUROPEAN explorations of the western hemisphere, which followed the explorations of Columbus. Columbus matters - the “Arabs” (Berbers??) don’t, as history was neither made nor altered in the west by them.

“I have read that cocaine and tobacco, known only in the Americas, was detected in the mummy of Ramses II aka Ramses the great.

This would imply that there was some sort of contact between Egypt and the Americas from around 2000 BC - at least.

People did get around by boat in extreme antiquity.”

I wish that was true for sure but there is question. While I absolutely believe they were seafaring way back then, the Cocaine Mummy has purportedly been debunked. They claim that there is a similar edible plant in the old world that also tests positive as Cocaine. Apparently it is supposed to be like the the Poppy seed muffin situation where simple Poppy seeds test positive as opiates.

That is the story anyway...

But then there is this... Cuneiform in ancient South America.

Fanciful, but being coked up would explain how they built all those pyramids. ;-)

Hope they do not claim to be so called “Palestinians.”

They will yell with Calif students
“from the A to the P,
we want your land for free.”

Then they will steal all the Pizza Hut tablecloths and wear them on their heads and scream a lot.

We will have to rename southern California into Gaza, and of course they all were going to more there anyway.

Good luck diggin’ the tunnels through the mountains!

China has now claimed the USA and have given us 2 weeks to get out.

We have squatters' rights and changed all the locks. It will take years to get us to leave.

Dude: Stop posting from the BS site greek reporter.

The premise of the garbage article they posted is about a ‘theory’ rooted merely in archival records of plants & seeds.

This after the post yesterday about the Hindenburg, a repost of their own piece from over 2 years ago without any citation whatsoever. In fact, they redirect links on the web to the original URL to the new article as though it is current content.

It’s a hack clickbait site, and you’re driving them more clicks.

“.... the Cocaine Mummy has purportedly been debunked.”

One has to be cautious about the debunkers. There was also tobacco found in the mummy, again only source from Americas.

"Columbus actually “discovered” and explored the Caribbean islands if Hispaniola (Dominican Republic/Haiti) and Cuba."

Which all are part of the geopolitical region known as "North America."

"...The premise of the garbage article they posted is about a ‘theory’ rooted merely in archival records of plants & seeds...."

Too many of the serial posters here are in too big a hurry to run up their post count (and get their pat on the head) to be bothered to pause long enough to vet or even superficially assess what they're posting.
