I have seen it and was impressed. I like the idea of two way prehistoric Atlantic travel and can never see why the Atlantic has been regarded as a barrier. Today people cross it in row boats and canoes. The real evidence is being uncovered and there are going to be a lot of entrenched views that will have to be dumped. That is if the sites are not covered in concrete first.

There is an interesting article from our American friend, Aluta on the Portal. See http://www.megalithic.co.uk/categories.php?op=newindex&catid=14

Taped it but haven't watched it yet....

Nope, wished I had though. Synchronistcally speaking , I just yesterday ordered Thor Heyerdahl's 'Kon-Tiki Expedition' as a gift for someone.

"Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity."

I'm in MA/USA at the moment and I have to say that the Spirit Hill site, AKA America's Stonehenge has been fiddled around with so much, that appraising its vintage is a little difficult. New England is dotted with such sites and indeed walls of stones that may be snow breaks or maybe sacred lines of stones to trap the snow (dohhh) abound in large numbers. That said, there is a 4500 year old stone circle in Florida ... many of my Native American 'Indians' as our parents called them, suggest a two pronged migration ... both from Siberia but in different directions ... European/African megalith folk probably did make the Americas .. the KT's did (Knights Templar) and so did the Vikings ... long before IKEA ... The White Mountains are truly spiritual ... what ever that means ... clearly part of the American desire to link its history is partly fueled by the Salem/Wiccan path ... no problems there but getting a grip of ones true surroundings can be a little difficult at times! Go Red Sox! Yo! Get the f****n Brit out-a-here ...

PS .... Ishmael ... you got a tape of this??? Huh??? Huh???

For anyone who missed this prog there's a chance to see it again on Saturday, 26 November on UKTV History at 8pm.

Juan de la Cosa, this man knew how to sail a ship on a constant bearing, whoops, used that knew word again.
He owned the Sainte Marie, that Columbus sailed about in, Columbus used to get reet peeved with Juan, who said He knew how to sail in straight lines, and drew maps to show this . Then came old Mercator, and they all scoffed at silly Juan, nothing much changes ?

Yet another slant on the "Who discovered America" thing
