Did The Phoenicians Discover America? (1913)

""Did The Phoenicians Discover America?"" is a historical book written by Thomas Crawford Johnston and published in 1913. The book explores the possibility that the Phoenicians, a seafaring civilization from the eastern Mediterranean, may have discovered America before Christopher Columbus. The book begins with an overview of the Phoenician civilization, their seafaring prowess, and their extensive trade network. Johnston then delves into the evidence that suggests the Phoenicians may have reached the Americas, including ancient maps, artifacts, and archaeological discoveries. The author also examines the theories and arguments of other scholars who have explored the possibility of ancient transatlantic contact. He discusses the works of various historians, archaeologists, and linguists who have studied the topic and presents their findings and opinions. Throughout the book, Johnston presents a balanced and objective analysis of the evidence and arguments, without taking a definitive stance on the question of whether or not the Phoenicians discovered America. Overall, ""Did The Phoenicians Discover America?"" is a fascinating exploration of a little-known aspect of ancient history and a thought-provoking look at the possibilities of pre-Columbian transatlantic contact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
