Freedom Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 http://www.sino-platonic.org/complete/spp133_precolumbian_voyages.pdfI am sure that many of you are familiar with a shorter version of this paper as published by FARMS, but this document is more detailed than the version I have. I stumbled upon this article by accident while reading other esoteric and perhaps academically controversial research on the website sino-platonic.org. Don't tell my wife I secretly check out this site, she just thinks I have a girl friend. also check out the paper on 'Timeline of the Development of the Horse" aug 2007 and "A Complex of Ritual and Ideology Shared by Mesoamerica and the Ancient Near East Dec 2009 by Sorenson. oh, and 'How the earth geology determined human history'Well, go see for yourselves.
CV75 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) oh, and 'How the earth geology determined human history'You might also enjoy "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond. It proposes how Eurasian civilizations survived and conquered others due to geography and not genome. That idea offers an interesting perspective on what the ultimate "Promised Land” is and what it does for its worthy inhabitants (D&C 77:1; 130:7)--"Location, location, location!"

mfbukowski Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Given thousands of years and millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic with all kinds of boats, it is ridiculous to say that such things are "impossible".If I as an old guy can ride a bike a hundred miles, a team of young folks with some good logs and a sail and proper provisions could probably just about go anywhere given enough such teams trying to do so.If the Polynesians could transverse the Pacific in canoes, it is totally unimaginable that such a thing was impossible in the Atlantic. It's just common sense.

Aliwe Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 If the Polynesians could transverse the Pacific in canoes, it is totally unimaginable that such a thing was impossible in the Atlantic. It's just common sense.They did actually cross the Atlantic around the year 1000, and settled for a time in the Canadian maritime provinces, but the colony ran into Eskimo trouble, and it was never able to justify the trouble and expense. So it was possible from a technical standpoint, but it didn't make much sense economically. Sort of like the moon landings.

So it was possible from a technical standpoint, but it didn't make much sense economically. Sort of like the moon landings.The time frame is actually much older dating from around 16,000 BCE with the introduction of the Solutrian peoples from Europe. This hypothesis is based on spear points found on the east coast matching a similar culture in Europe. It is also believed they traveled in a east west migration which could easily explain the Caucasoid Kennewick Man. This is not to negate an Asian, Polynesian, or Afro-Asian migration, rather it adds to it.
