"I thought the LDS had already claimed those blonde 'Indians'." Don't know. I believe these folks were exiled miners that were employed by King Solomon.

It wouldn't surprise me to find a Roman shipwreck in the Americas because it isn't necessarily evidence of trade. It could be a single lost ship or even a ship that was carried, empty, across the ocean only to eventually sink. I've read that one of the reasons why Columbus thought he could sail across the Atlantic directly to China was that bodies of Asian-looking "Eskimos"/Innuit would wash up on the shores of Ireland and other parts of Europe from accidents far to the North and West. Things that float get shuffled around.
More interesting would be evidence that they were moored or finding more than one or two together.

I read that some time after the destruction of Carthage that it was reported that Plutarch spoke that he had read (from 'writings' in the ruins) that the Carthagenians(sp) had traded with nations across the Atlantic. Then we have the 'cocaine mummies' and of course, Solon's tales of Atlantis, as related to him by the Egyptian high priests, etc. I believe there was ancient contact between Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa. ...and that this contact was broken numerous times (and memory of this contact was forgotten) due to worldwide catastrophies, famine and/or plagues. This is/could be why we have 'exiled' populations of humans of different races all over the globe.

"There is such a group in northern Japan." Yup, those are the Ainu (Kennewick Mans relatives) and the Jomon were before them. I saw a program the other night on the Samurai and the most honored Samurai in history was over six feet tall, he is also the one who began the practice of Harakiri.
There is a thought out there that the original Samurai were the Ainu, taller, bigger, hairy and light skinned. Some even say the Japanese practice of 'white face' is an emulation of these ancient 'royal' Samurai.

Blam, as I recall, Fate magazine ran a story about Robert Marx diving on this Roman wreck in an edition back around about 1982.
I've read three of Marx' books. "Shipwrecks in the Americas" and "The Capture of the Treasure Fleet" were excellent I thought. The one he wrote in the 60s about the Spanish Armada was a real stinker however :}
He must be getting kind of long in the tooth now--ahemmm. I think he was one of the team that worked the Port Royal sunken seaport site years in the 60s.

Just short note to thank both of you for including me on the ping list. I take much enjoyment reading this sort of stuff. Kudos to you blam...for finding such stimulating articles....and special thanks to you farmfriend for maintaining the list.
I was in a Barnes and Noble bookstore yesterday perusing the science section of their magazine rack. .....I recognized one of the cover pieces as something you had posted on. I thought out loud..."BLAM!!!"
I was immediately surrounded by Mall Security...asking me what I thought I was doing.
I was so in awe...all I could do was point at the rack...(which by that time unfortunately was blocked by a well endowed redhead)
....and shouted..with a slight drool from the lower right side of my lip..."BLAM!!!...BLAM!!!...BLAM!!!"
This was very soon relagated to an abbreviated..... "BLA...BLA...BLA"...due to the multiple stranglehold that three of the more enthusiastic "I really could have passed the policeman's test, but I found Mall Security a more rewarding career ,two way radio packing and, well vested in giving directions to the restroom", personell had on my throat.
After a quick fifteen minute discussion...which took about an hour an a half....they all agreed that I was not a threat to the strucural integrity of the Mall...they went off in search of the redhead.
It was exiting the store that I noticed the Al Franken book prominently displayed in the front on the "Best Seller" Rack..that's when my problems really started..........................................................

And they, after all, were just pursuing the Carthaginians in order to stamp them out.
