Thanks for all the links, blam! BTW, on a related topic there's a book I'd recommend for anyone interested in this subject who hasn't already read it:

http://www.newdiscovery.org/gunnar1.htm

Nu Sun

In Nu Sun Gunnar Thompson documents Chinese voyages to the Americas in ships like this ancestor to the sea-going junk. Chinese emperors, three centuries before Christ, had regularly sent out expeditions to the “land below the eastern horizon”. They were sent to discover the mountain paradise where the drug that could prevent death with illusion of immortality could be found. The drug was known to be a hallucinogenic mushroom, known only in the eastern barrier to the great ocean. The Shih Chi, oldest of the known and un-destroyed dynastic histories records these voyages, but doesn’t say if they were successful. In the Americas, descendants of the Mayans, the Mazatecs of the state of Oaxaca, still use he psylosibic mushroom, also known as The Divine Mushroom of Immortality. One of the last of the legendary curanderos (shaman-priests), Maria Sabina, died only recently at the age of ninety-two.

Thompson's also done some other interesting work in this area:

Gunnar Thompson

Ancient Maps & Discoveries

Gunnar Thompson was born in the Emerald City in 1946. A multi-talented individual, he is a master stained-glass craftsman, graphic artist, novelist, writer and inventor. He has earned a Masters Degree in Anthropology and a Ph.D. in Counseling. He is recognized as one of the leaders in the study of early voyagers across the oceans.

His first book on ancient Asian voyagers was Nu Sun (1989, out of print). He followed with the encyclopedic American Discovery (1992 & 1994, out of print) which is the principal text in the field. A definitive text on the 14th century English Franciscan survey of the New World, The Friar’s Map, was published in 1996.

In his latest book, Lions in the New Land: The Epic Adventures of Friar Nicholas in The Enchanted Isles is the true story of a mysterious English friar whose passage through time altered the course of world history. In the 14th century, the friar traveled from England, to Norway, Iceland, and the Northern Regions in the service of King Edward III. The friar’s assignment was to survey isles of the North Atlantic in an effort to find the lost, overseas colony of King Arthur. This project, entailing discovery of the Western Hemisphere, was first proposed by England’s premier scientist—Roger Bacon in 1266.

Thompson has written and lectured extensively on subjects related to multicultural studies and early voyagers. He has been featured on British and Norwegian television specials regarding his discovery of the lost friar’s map of the New World by Nicholas of Lynn ca. 1360 AD.

I tried some of those mushrooms years ago when I was younger...

At the collapse of the Shang Dynasty in China, it is recorded there that 250,000 Chinese, 'took to the sea.'

Thanks!--I've bookmarked it. I've only begun getting into Arthurian studies, but I'm quite interested in it. If there were ancient Britons in America, I'd assume they may have gotten the naval technology from Carthage or Rome. You got any good links on Carthaginian/Roman contact with ancient America? I've seen some scattered stuff on it--Barry Fell's work, and references to discoveries of Roman shipwrecks and coins--but haven't gotten in-depth into it yet, and figure you might have some more info :)

Not Much:

Ancient Romans in Texas?

Berry Fell, in one of his books, mentions that the Venitii, in Gaul, had a fur tradde that died after the Roman conquest. He speculated that they were doing their trapping in the New World, because as Ceasar mentioned, they had ships designed for the Atlantic.
