This mural dates to about 1475 BC. Subsequently, scientists identified remains of two more New World plants (tobacco and cocaine) in the mummy of Ramses II. Alphonse de Condole, a French botanist, noted that Egyptian field workers had found corn or maize kernels in an ancient sarcophagus. He said that this was "an attempt by Muslims to confuse Western historians."

The copyist was Mo Yi Tong. Gunnar Thompson was able to verify that this map is an accurate copy of the Ming original because coastal areas are similar to those that appear on European "spy maps" that were brought to Europe by Marco Polo (1295) and Niccolo da Conti (1425).

Romans called the Gulf of Mexico "the Caspian Sea." Florida was named after the Roman goddess of Spring--Florida. e) These Egyptian statues were found in El Salvador by archeologists in 1914 near Acajutla. In his book "Historia de la Nacion Mexicana" (1940), the Mexican historian Mariano Cuevas said that these artifacts were evidence of ancient Egyptian contact with Central America [IMG]e) These Egyptian statues were found in El Salvador by archeologists in 1914 near Acajutla.

Clearly, early European maps of the New World were largely derived from earlier Chinese maps [IMG]http://archive.coasttocoastam.com/timages/page/Gunnar021907o.jpg[/IMG] o) A map by the Venetian cartographer Albertin DeVirga sometime between 1410 and 1420 includes such New World regions as the West Coast of Peru and most of North America from Greenland to Brazil. Most mariners mistakenly believed that the New Land was situated north of Norway--because they used the magnetic compass to reach this overseas destination. It is mistakenly shown northwest of Norway on Devirga's map which identifies the land as a possession of the Norwegian King. The map was probably made by English Franciscan monks between 1330 and 1360. The English historian Richard Hakluyt mentioned the voyages of these spies in the 16th century. He said that they had visited lands that were once part of King Arthur's Colony [/QB][/QUOTE]
