Ocean navigation
Mar 17, 2006, 22:21
"Now, with the discussion widening to include Easter Island and the Pacific, we really are in Thor Heyerdahl territory. "

All of that you are saying is quite far out. I will have to get into that TH link eventually.

Ancient navigation was a reality but how ancient I can't tell. If it really was that ancient (between 20,000-10,000 or even earlier if we really want to make the earlier Americans the 'second') then all that is needed now is the beginning of archaeological corroboration for his theories.

It is certainly a very strong possibility. Climate events may also have sparked human movements across the oceans.

I must admit I knew about the thread that Hob mentions but never really got into it. Far too much for my general lack of time. I will bookmark it though. Perhaps we are going in circles with things already said there.
