The Carthaginians

 There is some very interesting evidence that Prince Sinclair spent time in Nova Scotia and he and or elements of his Templar expedition traveled into the Massachusetts area of North America.  The legend of the Westford Knight, the Newport Tower, the white Indians of Narraganset and legends in Mexico that Cortez encountered in 1519.

  When Cortez arrived in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico in 1520, the Aztec were confused as to whether to associate him with the flying serpent god Quetzalcoatl, or with the blue eyed, blond haired, white man who preceded him one hundred years ago.

  In 1398 A.D. Prince Henry Sinclair left Scotland with five hundred Templar’s, the Treasure of Solomon Temple, and approximately 13-18 ships.

  This expedition was under the command of Admiral Antonio Zeno of Venice. They departed for the New World following the same route as the cousins of Prince Henry Sinclair. They Island hopped to Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland and finally to Nova Scotia.

Jose Roberto Teixeira while diving close to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil discovered three intact Roman Amphorae that were in an area of several shipwrecks.

The Brazilian Institute of Archeology was very interested in this find and sent photographs to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, which confirmed that they were Roman Amphorae from the second and first centuries.

An American underwater archeologist, while exploring the same wreck site that the Roman Amphorae were discovered also discovered a wooden structure. Under this wreck there was a more ancient wreck from the 16th Century which was discovered using side scan sonar. 

The Brazilians were upset with a Roman shipwreck off their coast. It didn’t fit with their history; in some circles there are still disputes as to which country actually discovered Brazil, Spain or Portugal.

There have been Roman ships found in the middle of the Atlantic in the area of the Azores.  There have been many ships blown off course in storms, and set foot on various parts of the North and South American coast.

The Phoenicians had two main colonies, Phoenicia and Carthage.  And they were often referred to as Carthaginians.  After the end of the Trojan War they started expanding their horizons with forays into the Atlantic. 

In 1972 off the coast of Honduras a Carthaginian ship wreck was discovered containing a cargo of amphorae.  There are those that believe the Toltec Indians were Carthaginians who after being defeated in the Punic wars by the Romans left the Mediterranean for West Africa. 

They then migrated to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The Aztecs later destroyed them and Carthaginians gold bars fell into the hands of the Aztecs, later being discovered in North America as part of Montezuma’s gold.

There is significant evidence that the Jews also were involved in Trans-Atlantic voyaging perhaps as early as 725 BC. Inscriptions in Hebrew near Las Luna’s, New Mexico tell of their voyage and the beginnings of their city.
