Pre-Columbian Sailors Changed World History

By Carl L. Johannessen

Pre-Columbian Sailors Influenced the World is about the spread and diffeusion of plants, animals, doseases, and culture across the world's oceans long before Christopher Columbus ever sailed from Europe. This book details, in an easy-to-understand fashion, the abundnace of evidence available proving that humans from tropical cultures around the world sailed across both the Padifid and Atlantic Oceans long before the Eurpoean Christain Age of Expansion, These earlier sailors brought plants, animals, and some diseases as well as shared cultural traits with other societies they met across the oceans. The evidence shows that mariners sailed from the Americas to China, India, many of the Pacific Islands, Africa, and the Middle East as well as to the Americas from Asia, Africa, India, some of the Pacific Islands, and Northern Europe. This book is a must-read if one wants to understand the true spread of civilization and culutral sharing around the tropical and subtropical worlds by non-European, non-White cultures. In this day of rising fear of foreigners it is imperative that we acknowledge and celebrate the contributions to world culture made by the people of the tropics.

Diffusion to New World

Professor Johannessen shared his visit and research in this book on diffusion from old world and vice versa in pre-Columbia contacts of America. He lists many leads in echo on others such Gavin Menzie’s books. He summarized other scholars such as Stephen Jett, Paul Shao, John Ruskamp in his strong argument. However, this book did not elaborated Ruskamp on ancient Chinese Oracle bone writings in America Southwest without mentioning his book << Asiatic Echoes>> now in 3rd edition. With him, years ago, we found the writing in Native American rock arts in Southern California. Of significance is his conclusion of Chapter 22 on the past five hundred years of European Center racism for their high ground looking down and enslaving other color peoples. It is a timely update to get rid of this racism and uphold the principle of “All human are created equal”!
