Ever since Columbus's first voyage to the Americas in 1492, there has been evidence of earlier explorers long before. Much of this evidence has been put aside or forgotten simply because it does not fit the prevailing theories of human history. Most professionals in the field of archaeology scoff at the idea of pre-columbian contact without even bothering to study the evidence. Others, such as Barry Fell, who have studied the evidence of early explorers and went public with their findings are ridiculed for believing in such "nonsense". This site is an accumulation of such evidence collected from books, newspapers, and the internet. While some of this information may be hard to believe, such as Egyptian ruins in the Grand Canyon, most of it is in fact quite plausible. Even if a small majority of this information is true, the history of North America would be far from what we believe it to be.
