    The document discusses evidence that suggests peoples from Africa and other parts of the world may have traveled to and inhabited what is now known as North and South America long before Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492. It references the works of scholars like Ivan Van Sertima, Thor Heyerdahl and Gavin Menzie, who have analyzed archaeological, linguistic, metallurgical and other scientific evidence that pre-Columbian contact between various global civilizations like the Olmecs may have occurred. The document examines trans-Atlantic ocean currents and navigational capabilities that could have enabled transoceanic voyages centuries before the 15th century.
