2 pics of underwater ruins in Cambay India. The head looks egyption and shouldn't be there in india.

These ruins are now being found around the world. They pre-date the known cultures that exist now. The indian government claims they don't know who built this...." it's not ours " they said.

The Bimini Road in the bahamas is a very curious find too. It could have been built by pre-indian peoples. It appears to be a huge wharf and jetties, which are only built by seafarers with large ships, not dugout canoes.

Another recent find is off the western coast of cuba in very deep water. Sonar shows a city of advanced design. Paved streets, with huge walled structures.

The oceanographer Mr. Ballard who found the Titanic claims there indeed was a worldwide flood, and not a regional flood. This could explain the numerous underwater buildings being found in japan near okinawa. The japanese have no written history of what these buildings are. It's a total mystery to them and pre-dates their culture.

Four pics of the underwater ruins near okinawa japan. The japanese don't know who built this. It is not in their history.

In my opinion these artifacts need to be measured in Millions of years, Not Thousands.
These artifacts were from a Civilization that existed,
and destroyed itself , or met with extinction by Comet, long before,
or at the same time as the Dinosaurs.

There is speculation that the minoans have been in Michigan during the copper age, 3000 B.C. ish. Artifacts, carbon dating, and other such scientific mumbo jumbo back the theory. Do a google search on the subject.

Do not forget the many skeletons of giants, found the world over.........why are they never spoken of?
Conspiracy nothing........what is certain is that history as we know it, is lacking, misleading and wrong.......
Sort of like 9-11........what is the truth, I am not sure, but I am certain that the gov story is crap and lies......that is certain.

chinese stone anchors

Well, sorry to be a kill-joy, but ...... the "anchor" evidence rendered here on this thread, that the Chinese came over to the pacific west coast prior to the Europeans, is lacking. Those stone anchors have since been shown to be of modern origin. Ie.: the Chinese still used those type anchors even into the 1800s (that ... yes ... could resemble similar ones from centuries earlier). Sorry to burst anyone's bubble:


3,000 Year Old Chinese Anchors

This isn't to say that some made it over before Columbus mind-you, but just that ...... the "stone anchors" thing is not conclusive on the subject to show/prove anything.

Wow, you guys are amazing, a wealth of info to research and investigate. Thanks so much now I at the very least have some starting points to look into. I would love to find something Greek or Roman in the future and I now have lots of research to do. Going to buckle down on the internet and see what I can find from all this info! Much appriciated to everyone that has donated time and assistance here. You guys are the best! P.S. I had not considered the Viking stuff, LOL and I am Norse LOL...

Hey dreadnox, with all due respect for those who think that we can look for "ancient coins" (pre-columbus losses) here in the USA, the truth is: it will be random. I know a guy who found a Roman coin (200 AD or something weird) in Monterey, CA old-town demolition site. But he thinks it was a souvineer brought over in modern times.

If you're *really* wanting ancient coins, why not just fly over to Europe somewhere, and hunt farmer's fields? Some ag. fields there have had continual cultivation for 1000 or 2000 years. So you really don't even necessarily have to have a "known" site of a village or trading post, or fort, or .... whatever . Simply any cultivated field in countries that old, will have coins in them. Naturally, if you're at a cross-roads, or old village site, etc... the # of finds will be better, than random farmer fumble finger losses

The concept of people getting coins (and even ancient ones) as souvineers when travelling to foreign countries, is not a modern concept. Anyone who has ever hunted sites where soldiers returned from WWI and WWII will see this human nature: There will be European coins found in sites, that are obviously brought home by returning GI's. And the concept of ancient coins being bandied about, is not exclusive to our day-&-age of metal detectors. For example: In the 1920s "Egyptology" (mummies, pyramaids, etc...) was "all the rage". And tourists to the streets of Egypt and ancient countries, at that time, could simply buy ancient coins from street vendor merchants tables.

So an ancient coin appearing in the USA could have been brought here even in modern times. But that's a needle in a hay-stack. If you really want ancient coins, head to Europe

just catching up on some light reading here guys,,lol
i am going to throw my 2 cents in and wish i had the link to back it up , but here is the story and maybe some one else will remember seeing this show
it was a show where they said they had proof the japanese settled all along the west coast of the Americas from alaska to peru. they were able to do DNA tracking on the people as well as skeletons from different regions and even traced it back to a specific region of fishing villages in japan .
They said showed the coarse they followed using the wind and currents and worked there way around pretty much hugging the land masses .
Now that being said , they were not trying to say japanese are our ancestors , just that some areas had settlers from japan way before columbis came here.

in 1492 Columbus never touched he American mainland * -- he landed and hung out in the Caribbean area -- it was in 1512 that Ponce De Leon while "discovering" the "gulf stream" that runs along Florida's coastline found the mainland --ie "LA Florida" the flower land. --its odd that America is named for Amerigo Vespucci --Columbus';s Navigator

Dreadnox if you want your socks knocked off pick up the book "New Englands Ancient Mysteries by Robert Ellis Cahill.My first post was a little taste of it.Heres another,the westford knight.Westford Mass,A knights Templar is punched into a large rock slab with armorers tools.The engraved knight holds a rosary a shield and a broken sword(a broken sword means he died).the family crest on the shield is from the Gunn Family.In 1954 a bronze shield,thick with marine growth,was brought up in shallow water by a fisherman off Marshland Mass.

Tom_in CA. The evidence for pre colombian ancients visiting north america is overwhelming. The Iroquois indians have many welsh words in their language. And we know the welsh were visiting north america 1000 years before colombus. Look at the many welsh carvings in stone found in new england to the great lakes. It was ancient welsh ....not the modern welsh language. Look at the paintings of indians done by artists in the 1800's. Take off the feathers and paint and you see distinctly white features.

And the chinese junks that circled the globe were not flimsy vessels. They were huge. The chinese in their historical records claimed to have visited north america, and made detailed maps as well. The people who built the great wall of china are very capable of setting foot on north american soil 1500 years ago.

Don't worry about bursting anyones bubbles. My bubble was burst years ago when i discovered that darwins theory is false.

Picture : Vietnamese fishing boats made from woven reeds. Diesel engines for power.

mekong mike, not saying that "columbus was first". Only addressing certain individual proofs/evidences that some have offered up, that in certain cases, do not hold water.

Just a "heads up"... the documentary "Who Really Discovered America?" is on H2 (History Channel 2) at 10:00 pm eastern tonight. It covers alot of the things discussed in this thread.

 

[piegrande]

I once read on a Mexico forum that someone recorded the Zapoteca people, and in Japan, people understood around 25% of their words. Not sure if it is true, but I think it is possible.

 

[doc-d]

What seems certain is that what is commonly known and accepted as "history" is lacking and/or in error. There is so much out there that tells a different story.......and as mentioned above.......Darwin's evolution.....a pathetic theory that is without basis when subjected to true science..........look at the lies told in order to support it in the past that have subsequently been proven to be lies.
Back to the question that started this thread.............NO, I am not aware of any places to find old, as in pre-1500 coins in CONUS (continental US). Sure they show up seemingly randomly in different places, mostly near water routes...........

I hunted Hollywood, FL beach with Pat-Tekker-Cat recently. I found a coin from Peru! WOW, that coin floated a LONG way! TTC

Trivia.... The Atlantic ocean is 43 feet wider than when Columbus sailed across in 1492. TTC

This is a great thread. Silver Searcher your link to "The Ancient Americas" was great and goes to prove that the Americas were visited by and traded with many other early cultures. NO DOUBT. I did notice that many of the references are from recently published authors/ ie. post 1969 HS grad. We were not taught about any of this when I was in school. I mean that no reference was ever made that they had been here before Columbus. I very much doubt that the gooberment is going to rewrite the history books and tell the truth--- about anything.
