Roman guy sold them to turkish guy for a nickel. He sold them to Indian guy for a dime. He sold them to China guy for a buck. China guy sold them to Japan guy for $100.

What is the big deal. Probably took them ten years to get there.

Ya think these archeologists never heard or read of the Silk Road?

Alexander the Great made it all the way to Afghanistan & India much earlier. So while there may have been no direct contact with China or Japan, the trade goods certainly made it through.
