Thanks for posting.

I’ve never heard about these theories before.

In order to gain support for his theory, Professor Forbes should perhaps consider sailing from America to Europe in a raft or some other sort of primitive watercraft.

In fact, a similar expedition, carried out for similar reasons, has already been undertaken. I’m thinking of Norwegian explorer and writer Thor Heyerdahl and his successful 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition.

“successful 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition”

- I should have mentioned in my former post that Heyerdahl also made several other successful journeys with other rafts/ships.
