Ancient mariners visited the New World more than a thousand years before Columbus - according to a sensational new report. The main findings of the study, which centres on the mysterious Oak Island, off Nova Scotia, have been exclusively revealed to Johnston Press.
A team of expert researchers reckon they have unearthed astonishing evidence that Roman ships visited North America in antiquity - 'during the first century or earlier' and long before Columbus landed in 1492. The discoveries could cast new light on the mystery of Oak Island which is currently the focus of a centuries-old treasure hunt centering on a 230ft deep booby-trapped shaft known as the 'money pit'.
