OTOH unless these contacts had a marked effect on the behaviour of the people involved, they arent much more than interesting historical footnotes.

I can't remember where I read it in the last couple of years (maybe I saw it on TV) but there is the ruins of a Chinese Temple where they just discovered (in the last 5 years) a Nativity Scene in what once was the attic. IOW, the Temple was constructed over what had been a Christian Church dating back to the 3rd or 4th Century. I've forgotten all of the details, but it was a pretty amazing story.

On another tangent, I remember a mummy from the 1800s that was on display in Seattle's "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe" down on the waterfront. They called him Stanley, and he had red hair too. He'd been found in the desert, slain by a gunshot. The dry conditions had mummified him perfectly, and he had been on display in Seattle, amongst other curiosities, for years. I always thought he might have been one of my great uncles who never returned from a gold mining to California in '49.
