Colombia and could even have been Phoenician, possibly imported from somewhere in the
Middle East. There are at least six other very similar artifacts that have been discovered from
other locations in South America such as Venezuela, Peru and Costa Rica.
Fig.103There is also a huge body of evidence in the form of ancient texts even apart from the many
Indian epics, all suggesting that flight was a reality long before our modern world and it is highly
