Abora III Sets Sail!

There is growing evidence that before Columbus or the Vikings made their maiden voyages to the New World, people were regularly crossing the Atlantic to trade goods. Scientists have discovered traces of nicotine and cocaine in the mummy of Ramses II. Neither drug became popular until after Columbus returned to the Old World. Moreover, remains of tobacco beetles, which could not have flown from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, were discovered in Egyptian graves. The discovery of the same cultivated plants on both sides of the Atlantic is further indication that Stone Age Man made these transatlantic business trips. How did they do it? Cave drawings from the Magdalene Old Stone Age cultures in France and Spain point to the advanced nautical knowledge of these pre-Ice Age seafarers. The ABORA III is a wanderer between cultures and times. Just as time breaks through all barriers, the ABORA III will burst open all ideas about time-before-time. Prehistoric Man’s long distance business trips, which science refutes, were actually the norm. Those high-seafarers crossed the Atlantic in both directions without GPS, nautical charts and engine support, eons before Columbus and the Vikings. In this segment, Good News speaks to Dominique Goerlitz, the expedition leader of the ABORA III. He discusses with us how the project has been divided into three project phases, which will be carried out on three continents: *The preparation with the harvest and bundle construction at Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, from April 2005 to June 2006. *The boatbuilding at an exposed point in New York City, from May to June 2007 *The trip across the North Atlantic, from July to October 2007 For more information, please visit http://abora3.com
