I posted an image of the "astrolab of Anikythira" in the thread "world oldest map" in roman history thread. I belive ancients might navigated better than we think. Most ancient cargo ships were more sea-worthy than the trireme acording to the people who have examined their wrecks.
Map of Piri Reis and other maps, some of them only mentioned in other works, give a different world hydatography than today. A cerain Llyall Watson in his book "supernature" mentioned american dialects and polynicean dialects that their words seem to have ancient Greek roots
Plausibility is big but I will agree with Viventia´s point that an amphora unearthed in these locations woul be the most concrete positive thing we have to make the plausibility a certainty.
kind regards
Stefanos
