Thanks. I'd like to know as much about early diseases as I can learn. What was that which was found in the early Egyptian mummies that was only grown in the Americas? Was it nicotine? (A senior moment here). Have you read any Barry Fell? The primary problem I see with him is that not many other researchers have his background and cannot confirm or deny his theories based on his knowledge. Interesting reading, though. I tend to agree with you about continuous contact with the Americas.

Maybe. But cocaine residue has definitely been found in the stomachs of Egyptian mummies. Cocoa being strictly a product of the Americas.
