The burning question:
Did they find any good SPAM recipes with that map?

"What about Prince Madoc and his people in 560 AD? What about the Ainus who around 10,000 BC?" I've read about Prince Madoc in America in 560AD, however we have a plaque here at the entrance to Mobile Bay that commerates his 1170AD landing.

"Someone showed that titanium occurs naturally, thus debunking the debunkers." I will add my 2 cents..
I read the same or similar article(s) pertaining to the ink and it's titanium content..
Studies of ancient inks from the same geographical area and of that time show traces of titanium occurring naturally as well..
IIRC, it was determined to be the same "type" of titanium as well.. i.e., consistent with the chemical composition of that area.. ( northern europe, scandinavia, russia.. )
As I recall, the paper regarding these findings was the last in a series of "fake-not-fake" counterclaims, and at that point, further studies were denied by the owners.. ( some Boston college? )

I have to agree. Certainly there is evidence that the
Olmec head statues are depictions of Africans whom the trade winds blew across the South Atlantic from West-Central Africa to modern day Brazil. There's no evidence they went back, but it is pretty good that they arrived and the natives carved these heads depicting them. But it doesn't mean they "discovered" America before Columbus.

The Vikings found Vinland in what is now Canada. This proves two things.
1. It was a lot warmer in 900CE.
2. Unexploited or untransmitted discoveries are worthless.

Way back in my teenage days I had a couple of very large cats. They protected the property from dogs and meter readers and enjoyed going swimming with me down at the lake. Both were over 30 pounds.

Oh my goodness! Did they have any wildcat in them?
My daughter has a very large cat - he goes between 20-25 lbs and it's all lean, mean cat - no fat. He appears to have some ocelot in him somewhere along the way.
My two petite cats barley tip the scales at 8 lbs and 7 lbs each - but they make up for it in *attitude* - LOL

They were both half domestic. The other half was what we called a Lynx. They had the tufted ears and cheeks, and were pretty much solid muscle and very territorial. I was the only human (or animal) they would accept.

I am familiar with the breed. I can see why they would protect you and your property!
My daughter's cat, for all of his size, is very docile. Just a big, lovable lug.
I am always amazed at the different personalities of animals. Just like humans. Only better in a lot of cases.

"this document whose authenticity is questioned worldwide" I believe it.

Much better in some cases. I have met few animals that practice deceit on a regular basis. My little dog does now and then, but not often.

Columbus was not the first to discover America, but he was the last. And he was the best.
