Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - The diffusionist view.
Theories of pre-Columbian contact have been fairly popular in the Western world since the 16th century. Several reasons may account for the spread of these diffusionist theories, including political propaganda, apology of colonialism, and the backing of priority claims. Proponents of such contacts often stated or implied the ethnocentric premise that Native Americans — generally portrayed as savages — could not have developed the sophisticated techn ...

| | | | Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Culdee Monks It is known that Culdee Monks were persecuted by the vikings in the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. The Culdee originated in Ireland and Scotland; however, some of them were known to have sailed to Iceland and Greenland, thence to Labrador and Nova Scotia to flee the vikings. The most convincing facts that the Culdee arrived in the Maine and New Hampshire areas are approximately 275 beehive stone huts. These stone structures are similar to those found in Ireland and Scotland, which were built in the Early Middle Ages or earlier. The ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Carthaginians.
According to the 16th century Spanish historian Oviedo, who relies on Brother Theophilus of Cremona, who in turn cites Aristotle, the ancient Carthaginians had discovered an abundant land beyond the Pillars of Hercules, and guarded their secret so that no other nation could conquer that land. Oviedo goes on to argue that the Hesperides of ancient myth were not the Canary Islands, as was the contemporary interpretation, but actually the W ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Polynesians.
The realization that Polynesians had been able to spread as far as Easter Island by boat led to theories of trans-Pacific contacts with Oceania. The presence in Polynesia of the kumara (sweet potato), a plant native to the Americas, has been cited as possible evidence of contacts.
Over the last 20 years, the dates and anatomical features of human remains found in Mexico and South America have led some archaeologists to propose that those regions wer ...

Others have speculated that one of the lost tribes of Israel may have ended up in America.

The so-called Vinland sagas of Icelandic and Norse literature tell of travels by Leif Ericson and other Vikings, around the year 1000, to a land called Vinland to the west of Greenland. The speculation that Vinland may have been North America has been fairly popular since the 19th century, and was even accepted as fact in some countries. The shipbuilding and navigational skills of the Viking were well-known, ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Zheng He.
The achievements of Chinese navigation have been widely known in the West at least since the work of Joseph Needham and John King Fairbank in the 1950s. Gavin Menzies, in his book 1421: The Year China Discovered The World, popularized the further and highly ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Carthaginians.
According to the 16th century Spanish historian Oviedo, who relies on Brother Theophilus of Cremona, who in turn cites Aristotle, the ancient Carthaginians had discovered an abundant land beyond the Pillars of Hercules, and guarded their secret so that no other nation could conquer that land. Oviedo goes on to argue that the Hesperides of ancient myth were not the Canary Islands, as was the contemporary interpretation, but actually the W ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Polynesians.
The realization that Polynesians had been able to spread as far as Easter Island by boat led to theories of trans-Pacific contacts with Oceania. The presence in Polynesia of the kumara (sweet potato), a plant native to the Americas, has been cited as possible evidence of contacts.
Over the last 20 years, the dates and anatomical features of human remains found in Mexico and South America have led some archaeologists to propose that those regions wer ...

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Caecilius Metellus.
Pomponius Mela (Lib.III,Chap.5) writes, and is copied by Pliny the Elder, that Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer, proconsul in Gaul received 'several Indians' (Indi) as a present from a Germanic king. The Indians were driven by a storm to the coasts of Germania (in tempestatem ex Indicis aequo ...

The so-called Vinland sagas of Icelandic and Norse literature tell of travels by Leif Ericson and other Vikings, around the year 1000, to a land called Vinland to the west of Greenland. The speculation that Vinland may have been North America has been fairly popular since the 19th century, and was even accepted as fact on some countries. The shipbuilding and navigational skills of the Viking were well-known, and any ...
