Well, even though this is a bit over the top, there may be something to it. Cocaine residue has been confirmed in hair strands found on Egypitan mummies. So startling was this fact that the discoverer was at first ridiculed--until others replicated her discovery.

Since cocaine is derived from a new-world plant, finding it in Egyptian mummies from 3000 B.C. would be "interesting".

I would not be at all surprised if it were one day shown that commerce was widespread--all around the world-- in times that we are pleased to call "primitive".

Not to say I believe in Atlantis or anything.
