Roman Sword discovered off Oak Island

35 million years ago (and that's only the earliest fossils we have found so far,) Africa was significantly closer to South America.

Besides, while it's true that humans could prepare for the journey ahead of time like you say, they wouldn't do so without having a destination in mind.

Humans could have drifted here by accident like we believe monkeys did, but it's far less likely they would survive the trip, or even survive as easily as monkeys would in the wilds of South America.

Maybe monkeys were an ambulatory meat locker for exploration similar to how Spanish Conquistadors traveled with pigs. Let's see, which pre human ancestors would be 36 million years old that we can ascribe the invention of animal husbandry to?

:innocent:

oddly I pictured a group of monkeys adrift on a raft singing Nathaniel Rateliff's "S.O.B." during the crossing...

Well here is some more news on this developing story :)

Arggg... Mr Pulizer has one excuse after another doesn't he? Chemical test shows it more then likely is a modern cast replica, but Pulizer found one mine where the Romans might have pulled ore that matches (almost) the sword, so that is the only explanation?

May times I like to play Devil's Advocate, but really, this guy isn't having some fun online, he's trying to be serious. He expects people to buy his BS reasoning.

That he's severed himself from the Oak Island TV show is very much for the better for that show.

He has lost credibility with the History channel from his behavior.

Did not think that was possible anymore.

He's all over the place. Any similarity to anything from any time in the Ancient Mediterranean and Europe is being used as evidence for Roman contact. That's not how things work. If you find Proto-Sinaitic script (and they didn't), you can't connect that to Rome. Doesn't work. There's a huge gulf in time between the usage of that script and Roman culture (and the Roman script itself was a distant descendant of Proto-Sinaitic, definitely not a contemporary).

As I always say: It is not important that you find something, what is important is the context you found it in, and to illustrate that I always link to this Time Team episode:
