The voyage of Saint Brendan sometime around 525 BC is looked at as a legend with a possible basis in fact. Some believe the “isle of the blessed” may be the Americas.

“St Brendan’s Cross” aka the Celtic Cross.

In the basements of Winchester VA’s college are tablets written in Ogham which no one is allowed to see.

They *long* pre-date Columbus.

Harrisburg PA is also in possession of Ogham stones turned up by farmers plowing their fields.

Good luck getting to see them, either.

“America’s Stonehenge” in NH is aligned to Celtic astronomical observances and contains not only ogham but Phoenician writing, as well.

[You might also want to research Prince Madoc of Wales]

There will be those who discount the pre-Colombian exploration of North America but they’re usually people who are also into the myth of the “noble, peaceful Indians” cruelly slaughtered by white men.

Then there’s Kennewick man.

Many years ago I watched the “forensic art expert” recreate his face and he definitely pronounced him as without doubt, European.

Under much political/social/cultural pressure, he now denies having ever said that.
[BS...I saw and heard it when back it was not yet “politically incorrect” to utter such blasphemies]

Newer “experts” are now pronouncing him all manner of races, -except- European which I find puzzling since nobody has been allowed to complete a DNA/haplotype type test on him.

Norse and Celtic artifacts have been dug up from under extremely deep undisturbed layers of soil all over the US.

Did Columbus tote them along and randomly drop them?

Doubtful.

Across the stream from my house is a badly degraded a “cup and ring” stone, commonly found in the UK and other European locations.

Somebody dragged that here, too?
[currently, chipmunks stick acorns in the time-worn “cups” to make opening them easier]

I have a greenstone ceremonial full groove ax that is identical to those found in stone age Europe.
It was found not far from the stone on the ridge beside my house.

“Experts” simply include it in that nebulous “paleo-Indian artifact” category.

Right.

To be blunt, I believe very little that “experts” preach on the ancient history of North America.

The Mayans and Aztecs were awaiting the “return of the red haired gods” which made conquering them very easy.
The Tuatha deDaanan supposedly arrived in ancient Ireland on May day from the east to begin their reign there.

The Mayans/Aztecs may have been awaiting ~their~ return and got “red haired” Spaniards, instead.

[yeah, I’m a history heretic...so burn me]...LOL

I’m sure a flame war will ensue now but that’s my opinion.
I do not accept the current “history” of the Americas nor will I ever so flaming me is rather pointless....:)
