How do you explain Asian plants and animals in Central America when the Europeans arrived?
Or the maps that showed Australia and the West Indies prior to European discovery of those areas?
Or the archaeological evidence in Australia of ships made from wood only found in Asia that date to the 1400s?
Australia is one thing; the West Indies is something else entirely. There are a lot of possibilities including, but not limited to, the Portuguese and the Polynesians— not to mention "persons unknown."
It's been at least eight years since I read the damn thing. Basically, what I remember is concluding, "I don't buy it."
