in fact the ancient egyptians were excellent sailors.
The RA Expeditions (1969-70)
Thor Heyerdahl continued his research on ancienct navigation and turned his attention to the ancient reed-boats made of papyrus. These boats were deemed insufficient to cross the Atlantic as the reeds were believed to become water-logged after less than two weeks on open water. Heyerdahl believed that contemporary science underestimated the the ancient vessels and undertook to prove this by experiment. In 1969, he bought 12 tons of papyrus and worked with experts to construct an ancient-style vessel. The result was a 15 m boat which was launched at the old Phoenician port of Safi, Morocco.

Not amnesia. It is true that water wiped us out though, I mean even the Legend of Atlantis makes that clear. A world catastrophy has a way of wiping out records. The race returns to savagery, destroying all traces of what came before until we climb up the ladder again.

there were a few great civilizations at the time of atlantis, the rama empire was in india at this time, there was a great war which was recorded in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana (they sound like something straight out of star wars lol).the osirian empire was in the mediterranean basin (im not sure how much further it stretched) thennn the great deluge happened and only the uncultered and uncivilized were left. i believe this totally. the question im interested in is when is it going to happen again? we seem to be due a big cataclysm but when, lots of signs are pointing to 2012 and i personally welcome it this world has gone seriously downhill over the last 50 years greed runs it now! maybe we need a change

There are little bits of evidence found from time to time . An off the wall author managed to find a few and present them. Its a good starting point because they are tangible evidence, no matter wether you agree with his theories or not [Von Danekin[sp?] "Chariot of the Gods" etc.

Where is the proof for von Däniken's claims? Some of it was fraudulent. For example, he produced photographs of pottery that he claimed had been found in an archaeological dig. The pottery depicts flying saucers and was said to have been dated from Biblical times. However, investigators from Nova (the fine public-television science program) found the potter who had made the allegedly ancient pots. They confronted von Däniken with evidence of his fraud. His reply was that his deception was justified because some people would only believe if they saw proof ("The Case of the Ancient Astronauts," first aired 3/8/78, done in conjunction with BBC's Horizon and Peter Spry-Leverton)!

Main stream archeologists are a funny lot. They form a theory, apply for a grant, then go dig... if they find something out of place... oh say surgical steel scapels in a 5000 year old grave it would mess up there theory, may lose their funding, and be ridiculed by their peers...
So the artifact goes into some dark cellar in some museum never to see the light of day again... [remember that warehouse in Indian Jones "In Search of the Lost Ark"? Thats what I'm talking about!

A preacher took his daughter fossil hunting. They found a fossil bearing two foot prints... a left and right shoe print with pointy toes and heals similar to ours today... under one heel was a crushed Trilobite, extinct some millions of years ago. [I will have to track down the info on that again... its been a few years since I looked at this stuff]
SOURCE
The specimen does contain at least two real trilobites (which are abundant in the outcrops around Antelope Springs), but the supposed sandal print does not stand up to close scrutiny. The overall shape is seen to consist of a spall pattern in a concretion-like slab, similar to many others in the area. There is no evidence that it was ever part of a striding sequence, nor that it was ever on an exposed bedding plane, as real prints would be. The "print" is very shallow and shows no sign of pressure deformation or foot movement at its margin. However, on one side of the print, extending to the side of the supposed toe end is a rim or lip that is typical of similar concretions from the area, but which is incompatible in position and form to be a pressure ridge. Also, of the two halves of rock, the side that has the heel indented shows raised relief at the toe end, and vice versa, whereas in a real print one should show impression or raised relief throughout each half.
The supposed "heel" demarcation is actually a crack that runs beyond the boundary of the supposed print...
Some creationists have noted that the find was "confirmed" by "Dr. Cook." However, Dr. Cook was a metallurgist with little paleontological experience or knowledge. In his own report on the find Cook states, "...I am by no means an authority on fossils and footprints." He adds that the print seems to "speak for itself". However, upon careful inspection the evidence does not support Cook's conclusions.

When archaeologists excavated an unusual 2000-year-old burial site in the outskirts of Colchester, England -- the oldest recorded town in Britain -- they uncovered various vessels, a dinner setting and a wooden game board. But what brought the find to international attention was a surprisingly sophisticated medical kit dated at about 50 A.D.
"The medical pieces are extraordinary," says Philip Crummy, director of the Colchester Archeological Trust. "There are lots of examples of medical kits in continental Europe, but this is the first example from Britain. It's very special because it's a very early example and it's British."

Don't forget Thor Heyerdahl's expedition to prove how seaworthy papyrus ships were
