A literate person knows the "AD" is placed in front of the date.

In other words, you believe me to be illiterate. Bye.

The preponderance of evidence, taken as a whole, makes it more likely than not that ancient Romans visited the southeast coast of Texas during the 4th century A.D. Evidence consists of the wreck of a Roman cargo ship, unearthed at Galveston, the remnants of an ancient bridge at Pelican Island, Texas, Roman coins found near the site, and similarities between the Karankawan Indian language and Latin offer positive evidence-see HERA magazine, No. 888, (May, 2007).

I was just checking some older topics and found your post. Is there an English language version of Hera, or a website? Thanks.

The recent super tsunami that hit Japan is an answer to how a lot of stuff got to America in the good old days ~ it got carried away with the debris and landed on a shoreline where astute individuals saw marvelous opportunities for useful tradegoods.

So, if Roman coins made it to Japan, the great Japanese tsunamis of 684 869 887 1293 1361 1498 or 1605 may have delivered them to a number of different places.

Oh, and as we've seen with the latest event, there's enough stuff carried along it is conceivable the debris fields could have supported a number of travelers as well ~ thereby explaining Japanese in Arizona, El Salvador, Chile, etc.

Exactly.

My Dad sold DeSotos for a living. I remember that one of the fancier hood ornaments had a little DeSoto face on it that was lit up (an option).

It could very well be.

Hell, everybody loves Texas and she's gettin' purtier ever' day.

It's believed that the ancient Egyptians used tobacco, the rich ancient ones. Tobacco is indiginous to the Americas.

Traces of South American coca have been found in the tissues of ancient Egyptian mummies, too.

Well, if the Sabines got there, why not the Romans? Look at the map—there is a Sabine River in Texas. The first generation of Romans got their wives by kidnapping some Sabine girls. Livy tells the story—but he leaves out that the Romans had to come all the way to Texas to get them.
