hello Danescombe,

This post is simply the most exciting of its kind!! I am going to follow the journey...absolutely fantastic. How are you getting the feedback of the vessel's position?
I had come accross similar information in one of those (pricy) history illustrated books, of nicotine found in a pharaoh's teeth filling, leading the editors of the book to comment that there might have been trade links from the Americas to Eygpt.
And, my feeling is, this reed boat from prehistoric times might have been "replaced" by a larger boat with large sails/oars for successful journeys from Americas to Asia by the time of Ramases II(1314 BC-1224BC).
a standing ovation for this post!!!
Sincerely

Geve
