Pre-Columbian Trans-oceanic Contact
Pre-Columbian transoceanic contact theories, many of which are speculative, propose that visits to the Americas, interactions with the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, or both, were made by people from elsewhere prior to Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Caribbean in 1492. Studies between 2004 and 2009 suggest the possibility that the earliest human migrations to the Americas may have been made by boat from Beringia and travel down the Pacific coast, contemporary with and possibly predating land migrations over the Beringia land bridge, which during the glacial period joined what today are Siberia and Alaska. Apart from Norse contact and settlement, whether transoceanic travel occurred during the historic period, resulting in pre-Columbian contact between the settled American peoples and voyagers from other continents, is vigorously debated. Only a few cases of pre-Columbian contact are widely accepted by mainstream scientists and scholars. Yup'ik and Aleut peo ...

History Of The Basque People
The Basques () are an indigenous ethno-linguistic group mainly inhabiting the Basque Country (adjacent areas of Spain and France). Their history is therefore interconnected with Spanish and French history and also with the history of many other past and present countries, particularly in Europe and the Americas, where a large number of their descendants keep attached to their roots, clustering around Basque clubs which are centers for Basque people. Origins First historical references The Hand of Irulegi, a 2,200 years old (1st century BC) bronze hand silhouette was unearthed in June 2021 from a Navarrese Lakidain hillside and is the oldest Basconic text to date. Basconic scripts appears to reflect Celtiberian regional influence, with archaeo-linguists able to identify the Basque sound "''SORIONEKU''" (Modern Basque: ''Zorioneko;'' English: ''blessed, fortunate, lucky'') among other words. This evidence suggests that the Vasconic substrate predates the timeline previou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dick Edgar Ibarra Grasso

Ibarra Grasso based some of his assumptions on the suggestions made by Enrique de Gandía in the book "Primitivos navegantes vascos". He was considered by Paul Gallez, member of the Argentine School of Protocartography. He arrived in Bolivia in 1940. Ibarra Grasso's first destination was Potosí.

Cattigara Peninsula
Cattigara is the name of a major port city located on the Magnus Sinus described by various antiquity sources. Some modern scholars have linked Cattigara to the archaeological site of Óc Eo in present-day Vietnam. Ptolemy's description Cattigara was the name given by the 2nd-century Alexandrian geographer Claudius Ptolemy to the land on the easternmost shore of the Indian Sea at (due to a scribal error) 8½° south of the Equator. The name "Cattigara" was probably derived from the Sanskrit ''Kirti-nagara'' कीर्ति- नगर "Renowned City" or ''Kotti-nagara'' कोटि-नगर "Strong City". On some medieval maps, for example on the Martellus map of 1489 or the Waldseemüller map from 1507, published in the Ptolemy's Geography, Cattigara was located 8 and a half degrees below the equator and 178 degrees west of the Canary Islands. Columbus' search for Ciamba Guided by Ptolemy, the discoverers of the New World were initially trying to find their way to Catti ...
