Thor Heyerdahl, a Norwegian ethnographer and adventurer, proved with the Ra II, a ship that he and several others modeled after drawings and models from Ancient Egypt, that it could have been possible for the Ancient Egyptians to cross the Atlantic from Morocco to Barbados by sailing with the Canary Current.
Although most of his findings and experiments, including this one, weren't accepted in the scientific community does anyone believe this could have been a possibility? Also, even though other members of the forum already discussed the possibility of Romans discovering the New World, does this help prove that they also could have made the journey across?
Any feedback is welcomed.
