[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]But don't you think there might have been direct or indirect trade, given the evidence of New World plants making their way to AE, and Egyptian maceheads finding their way to China?[/QUOTE] Very possible considering that it's very possible the Phonecian people might have made it to the new world. However,I have yet to see definite proof any American crop was found in AE tombs. If so-called regular trips back and forth to the new world was possible then pollen traces of crops from American origin would be found in AE. Besides the ''Cocaine mummy'' not much has been found to prove this directly. [QUOTE]An aside: I watched a television show (long time ago) which presented (as part of the evidence of New World contact), that Ancient Egyptians might have used the coca plant for medicinal or "recreational" purposes. In passing, I think the show also mentioned marijuana. [/QUOTE] Be very careful with what you watch on television. My suggestion would be to turn off the television to reserch the subject throughly. Hemp has been found in AE but marijuana has not. [QUOTE]Did the Ancient Egyptians use recreational drugs? Is there evidence of this in the literature, or are researchers just going on forensics? [/QUOTE] The lotus flower was used as a stimulant which also explains why the ''cocaine mummy'' can show traces of Lotus since it gives off a similar narcotic effect. [/QB][/QUOTE]
