Carthies in the new world?

....The most important reason being: it's not because you're a great ship-builder in the Mediterranean, ocean-worthy ships are being built by accident and by even more accident floated to the Americas. You'll need experience in ocean-ship-building techniques, in surviving at sea for a prolongued time, a decent plan to sail west (including mappers), and a good deal of luck to make it back alive.

kind regards,

this is very true. Look how unprepared the europeans were thousands of years later when they explored the Americas. It was discovered by accident too. Many voyages turned into disasters. I'm sure a lot of sinkings too, that were unrelated to piracy or war. It is my belief that if ANY Carthaginian stepped foot on the Americas, (and if he did I'm sure it was south america) he then had a new home, till his death.


this gives me an idea for a book.... Ancient version of the best book of all time "The Hatchet"
I wouldnt even tell the reader outright where he is, to make it seem much more interesting and wondrous. You'd have to figure it out, which you would eventually given that he'd inevitably encounter the animals, but descriptions would be strangely written to convey the man's unfamiliarity and his superstitious attitude to the new and unknown. I could call it... "No Way Back Again"

by the way if i see that on shelves without my name as the author... We'll have trouble hahaha
