I watched a show the other day that seems to indicate pretty strongly that the Japanese visited south America. Pottery that is identical to ancient pottery found in southern Japan and one small area of south America.
The strongest evidence are the very Asian features existing among natives today and a genetic disease found only among Japanese and a small isolated population in south America.
Polynesian skulls are found all around the pacific rim and they obviously made it to Hawaii and Easter Island.
I tend to think there was a lot more “traffic” in the ancient past but civilization didn’t come (and stay) till Columbus
It was much cooler I think in those days and the seas were much calmer than now. That would explain crossng an ocean in a catamaran
Go on Amazon and buy all of Barry Fell’s books.
Chris was just a johnny-come-lately.
I saw that show too...I would not call any of that “evidence” conclusive.
the japanese link was weak
the polys maybe but so far zero DNA links...ditto with japs
that poly chicken bone link on the Chile coast could be from birds
who knows
science today exists in this area to try to prove anyone non caucasian got here first after Mongolioids
but the blame for anything bad sits squarely with whites
White Christian Civilization gets all the blame and none of the glory today
100% opposite of when I was a kid and we could be proud
and I see the same shite here from so called conservatives day in and day out
it disgusts me
