Oh that news source comes out with all kinds of rubbish. That said, I'm sure countries and peoples back then were a lot like us detectorists and relic hunters today - We don't give away our sites or tell anyone. Quiet is better, mostly

Pretty impressive that the natives of Rhode Island traveled to the Middle East and returned with these goods. Stout fellows!

Then this is just a testament to people's innate desire to gravitate towards conspiracy theories, odd stories, shakeups, etc..... Anything that challenges conventional "must be true". And is believed : Lest I be "left out". So any challenges are given 10x the credence. While anything conventional is a part of the "coverup". Yup, sure.

This psychology is why National Enquirer rags are easy sells in the supermarket line.

If you have a library card you likely can read them online for free. Just check to see if your library participates in the Zinio online magazine library. If they do, there are more than a hundred monthly magazines available absolutely free.

I don't believe there's much truth to the article cited. There's tons of theories and speculation about Old World explorers in the New World before Columbus. Appears to be valid evidence of the Vikings here before Columbus. The truth of the matter is that all kinds of boats were in existence that could have made a trans-atlantic (or maybe pacific) voyage before Columbus. Whether the crew could have survived it and arrived here with the boat is another matter.
