I read that some time after the destruction of Carthage that it was reported that Plutarch spoke that he had read (from 'writings' in the ruins) that the Carthagenians(sp) had traded with nations across the Atlantic. Then we have the 'cocaine mummies' and of course, Solon's tales of Atlantis, as related to him by the Egyptian high priests, etc. I believe there was ancient contact between Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa. ...and that this contact was broken numerous times (and memory of this contact was forgotten) due to worldwide catastrophies, famine and/or plagues. This is/could be why we have 'exiled' populations of humans of different races all over the globe.Yes, I believe the same. Look at this about the Guanchas and this. I think the Guanchas were related to the Chachapoyas.
gnarledmaw, you may find these links interesting.
Great links. I'll comment later after complete reading. LostTribe, are these some more of the proto-Celtics?
