Was America A Phoenician Colony?
Also, read Barry Fell's book, America BC.

Thanks--interesting link, esp. the part about the coins which I hadn't heard before. I think I remember Heyerdahl also talking about some of the plants common to the Old and New World which may have been indicative of trade. On Fell, I read Fell's book a while back and remember that his Egyptian/Carthaginian/Iberian epigraph, mentioned on the link you give, was one of the things that got me started thinking about this--that and the cultural parallels I mentioned in my other post. Unfortunately I don't own a copy of the book so I've forgotten some of the details he gives--I seem to remember him also talking about Celtic runes, which was one of the reasons I was considering the possibility of a Phoenician-Scythian-Celt connection.
