Why couldn't the Indians have come to the Greeks?

Because common assumption is that they couldn't or wouldn't, although, granted, the Greeks were known for seafaring, while Amerindians generally weren't. However, there does seem to be a tendency for some to consider the West as being the only peoples who were adventurous or who explored (if not outright that they were solely responsible for almost all technology).

Because Greeks were prodigiously literate people...nothing written ever found to point to any contact.

I remember reading somewhere that American Indian genes have been found in Greeks.

I agree, "Why didn't the Indians come to the Greeks?" I must question also, if the Bering Strait bridged from Asia to North America, wouldn't it also stretch from North America to Asia too?
