I am constantly surprised at how many early civilizations existed on islands. It is clear that man has been sailing the seas for a very, very long time.

Crete was an ancient civilization 5000 years ago. I was recently reading about the Islands of St. Kilda, (Hirta) which is literally in the middle of nowhere and almost inaccessible except on the calmest Summer days, yet has been inhabited for at least two thousand years. How did people get there so long ago with animals no less when even today it is difficult to get there?

I suspect that there was not always as much water between land masses as there is now ;)

And this little piece of real estate we were given was kept from invasion until a group of men with like mindedness determined to develop a politic with the clear understanding that there is a God, and a Savior Son, and that this nation could only work and grow if we were spiritually minded and maintained our spiritual mind.

They were headed somewhere else and shipwrecked.....$.02

The American barrier Islands from Virginia south to Florida frequently have populations of both people and wild horses who got there from wrecks.
