Is it possible Cocoa grew in N. Africa 14K years ago? It was cooler and wetter then.
It wasn’t that they liked the high so much as they liked the smell...
So....what’s this guy on?
So if he makes it how does it prove “that ancient man regularly crossed the Atlantic Ocean”?
Ping for later. (Got to turn on The Shield.)
Seems like very limited trade. Surely Egyptians would have shipped seed and not leaves if they were bright...
Does not entirely make sense. I have seen little real data on the “contamination” of mummies with these New World plant products, so I’m a little skeptical.
But if this guy wants to sail from Egypt to Peru, go for it!
But, don’t the mormons claim that their book of mormon was written by blond haired blue eyed extinct people of south america?
Back on subject...kinda...I remember reading once that the russians claimed when they first discovered alaska, there were tall pale red haired vicious people living in crude stone fortresses that attacked them with arrows and catapults. They refused to surrender, so the russians killed them all. Even women and children fought like demons and were killed. My first thought was that these were the last remnants of the disappeared greenland vikings. I wonder if these fair skinned people all the way down to south america were the same.
Well that's a college professor for you.
In 1970 Heyerdahl made essentially this exact voyage, sailing from the Mediterranean to Barbados in a reed boat, the Ra.
Odd the article would mention his Kon-Tiki voyage but not that of the Ra.
Except an article about an idiot repeating an already been there done that publicity stunt wouldn’t read too well, I guess.
I wonder if my pharoah hound’s ancestors went along for the ride? You know they are sight hounds.
Although he does not have a sailing licence, Mr Gorlitz will be steering the vessel himself.
"It's like kung fu," the explorer said. "The less you know, the better."
Well, sure! I'll sail across the Atlantic Ocean with him...
