Quote:I have read somewhere about the foundings of Roman coins on Brazilian coast. So, some researchers suggested that several separate European ships probably reached America before Vikings. Or, may be, this were archaeological falsification?As far as I know, the only object from a controled excavation is a small, 3d century head, made of terracotta, securely found in a twelfth-century tomb. Perhaps a merchant was blown off course?
