If this viewpoint is correct, doesn't it mean that ancient Indians were aware of the existance of Americas? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
yes, indians do know about americans before it's discovery by columbus and also of africa.
The evidence is for this was found out by a group of archealogists of us and according to them a red indian was craved on the alaya gopuram of srisailam and also an animal which looks like zebra but is smaller in size ,was found in africa and got extinct in late 14th century .this gopuram of srisailam was completed in 1404 a.d. 86 years before the discovery of americas by columbas
