Uncharted covers a range of cultures who seemingly have been visiting the Americas since long before Columbus. Evidence is explored of potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America through to Celtic and Norse exploration of Northern America. Put simply, the history of the discovery of the North America is all wrong. How did the Knights Templar influence the discovery of the new world? What do the Sinclair family, Rosslyn chapel, and two venetian brothers have to do with the discovery of a new continent? How did the Vikings navigate their way? With source materials dating back through millennia, including very recent finds, this book will induce you to thought about a side of history still so readily dismissed by some. Uncharted tackles the evidence and stories of visiting distant lands that abound from many cultures, such the Egyptian, Greeks, Celts, Vikings, as well as various people from Asia; and one large Chinese group likely settled in the Americas in 100 BC, which current DNA evidence supports. Columbus should be remembered, but remembered for the conquering tyrant he was. These other groups did not come to conquer, but to trade, explore, and escape"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a America $x Pre-Columbian. $x Pre-Columbian. 700 1 $a Martin, James, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012015.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230520010044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98E5851AF6D311EDA96BD4FC47ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
