"There is evidence of a global drug trade extending back at least as far as the pre-Mosaic dynasties of Egypt."

Some of the oldest mummies of Egypt contain traces of cocaine and nicotine, a drug of the America's.

First: those mummies that supposedly contained nicotine, etc., have been debunked as forgeries and contaminated samples.

Second, by "contact," I mean contact enough for the myths, stories, and legends of the "new" world to reach back to Plato in Periclean Greece.

i highly recommend people go to www.skepdic.com, or even just snopes and look some of the stuff you keep quoting up, instead of just accepting it without question. A little research goes a long way.
