You didn't offend me; I just could not figure out where you were coming from on this issue. I have watched the documentary several times, and in fact there is significant evidence, not only from the textiles but from other examples, such as the way they designed their wagons, that they came from Europe.
If you did not see the documentary, then I am curious as to why you are so insistent on your point of view. I believe that if you did see the documentary, you would not be arguing so vehemently. I wondered if something about this issue disturbed you, since you seem very adamant.
There is a growing, although minority, group of archaeologists who insist that there was lots of movement by ancient peoples out of Europe, not into it. The Bay of Jars, off of the coast of South America, is the site of a shipwreck and the bottom of the ocean is littered with still existing Roman jars from a very particular period.
The Egyptian mummies have cocaine in their systems, which almost certainly they got from South America, so this early travel may have been quite widespread. |
