i assure that he didn't claim that the U.S. existed then, his claim is, crosses are everywhere and they have been used for a very long time.
one would think being a independent freelance journalist you would educate yourself before writing about it.
and laughing at someone when you yourself can't comprehend what was said or know how long something has been used is a sure sign that, you don't have a clue.
their called the cross and bible door and have been around some say as far back as the 1700's in new england. some say it was to show Christian Faith others say that's just how they are made.

We have been lied to about a lot of our past.
Many of these symbols have be used and re-used. Some are older than they say and I believe some are younger.
Take the shape of the swastika, it was also extensively used as a symbol of PEACE in Asia. Isn’t that weird.

Was just a thought.
Once again, please excuse me. I acted on instinct. It is unacceptable.
There was an Abbasid–Carolingian alliance during the 8th and 9th centuries, effected through a series of embassies, rapprochements and combined military operations between the Frankish Carolingian Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate.
The alliance is likely to have formed first between Pepin the Short and al-Mansur, and later to have continued under Charlemagne and Harun al-Rashid. These contacts followed the intense conflict between the Carolingians and the Emirate of Córdoba, marked by the Battle of Tours in 732, and were aimed at establishing a counter-alliance with the 'faraway' Abbasid Empire based in the Near East. Slightly later, another Carolingian-Abbasid alliance was attempted in a conflict against the Byzantine Empire.
Actually, if you want to get technical the shape would have been in the crucifix category not in the cross category from what I'm reading and seeing in antiquity.
