There is also speculation that the Portuguese also reached North America before Columbus' expedition that discovered America.

Either the Portuguese, or more likely Admiral He ~ and possibly even the Turks, or their prey, the Byzantium Empire.

Then there were the Japanese Zen Buddhists who discovered Arizona in the 1300s.

What I like about this story is that authenticates a very serious REDISCOVERY, and one involving hundreds of years between the first and second events.

Blam might be interested ~ I have a SECOND picture of a second Bird Stone in Brown County, Indiana. The other Bird Stones were found in Mongolia in the 1930s and have been dated to thousands of years ago.

My Portuguese friends says they were cod fishing off newfoundland for centuries earlier.
