The "Three Brothers" set sail from Carvajal, looking back at their lighthouse at Brigantia on the Dead Coast from time to time, and then always North to Scota.

That was 700 BC and they did it in leather covered boats - right out into the Atlantic Ocean without hugging the coast.

They did it just like they regularly did such things.

And so, how far is it really from Spain to Ireland as a crow flies?

re your # 1.....A great hero of nature that you spotlight.

But , I am afraid, the world is effeminite and in a state of selfishness.

Most of us merely coast on and enjoy like paracites the magnificent achievments of this person and similar humans...in all noble endeavors.....

Sad.

Thank you for this post. It fills in a few blanks for me.

One suspects that those who deride his "unscientific" accomplishment should suffer derision themselves for their lack of vision and insight as to what he proved.

It is doubtful that "postulators" in time to come will as easily discount the possibility/probability correlation which up until his voyages the so-called "scientific" pundits were able to summarily dismiss.

"Greek legend holds that an Egyptian king named Danaos sailed a war fleet to the Peloponnese, conquered Greece and ordered the natives to call themselves "Danaans" in his honor. "

These were Israelites from the tribe of DAN who were living in Egypt.

He was an adventurer and a celebrated for his accomplishments. What passes for celebrities in this new millenium is sickening.

Great story about a great man. As a young man I dreamed and read Kon Tiki and Aku Aku. Still to this day the mystery of Easter Island haunts me.

Mr. Poe, go and live your dreams. Aloha

On a discovery show about the ancient port of Caesarea it mentioned that seasonal winds blew north from Africa every year.

An Egyptian boat with a sail could easily sail north on those winds.
