Found this very intriguing. Is it true ? Guess is as good as mine. But I thought I would share it.
First, the Minoans.....
The Minoans Of Crete
They were sailing and trading. And apparently made it to America...
Minoans Discovered America
Just something to think about and wonder if we need to re-write history.
First, the Minoans.....
For the oldest era of Minoan civilization, Evans’ Early Minoan period, the evidence comes from burials and small settlements dating to between 3100 and 1900 B.C. These finds demonstrate that, early on, the Minoans were excellent sailors who were actively trading with Egypt and the Near East, exchanging their cloth, timber, foodstuffs, and, likely, olive oil, for copper, tin, gold, silver, and ivory. It’s also clear that the Minoans were developing great skill as potters, metalsmiths, engravers, and creators of the carved stone vases that would become distinctive and valuable exports for more than a millennium to come.
At the start of the second millennium B.C., a major change occurred in Minoan civilization. During the Protopalatial and Neopalatial periods, which correspond to Evans’ Middle Minoan IB through Late Minoan I periods, the Minoans built “palaces” (Evans’ name for these centers has persisted and is the basis for another system of chronology in which Minoan history is divided into Pre-, Proto-, Neo-, and Postpalatial eras) at locations mostly in the eastern part of the island including Knossos, Malia, Phaistos, and Zakros. These palaces were large stone multistoried building complexes arranged around open, paved courtyards, and contained spaces for industrial activities, food processing and storage, religious celebrations, domestic use, sporting contests, and administrative functions—more of a city core than the single domestic entity that “palace” connotes. The palaces were equipped with elaborate staircases and sophisticated drainage and plumbing, and were also decorated with brightly colored frescoes, some of the most accomplished examples of painting in ancient Greece, depicting primarily scenes from nature and daily life.

InvestigatingHistory.org and ExpeditionHistory.org have recently revealed what are being called “smoking gun archaeological evidence” which proves the ancient race of peoples called the Minoans were the first to discover, capitalize upon and trade goods to and from the Americas. This blog article is actually 9000 words long, however you do not need to attempt to read all 9000 words since this article is narrated by the accompanying audio blog narration. ( You can READ this blog, LISTEN to this BLOG, or WATCH the video version – all posted below). EACH PHOTO will enlarger when clicked.
In preparing for this research information release, some 60,000 artifacts found here in the United States of America had to be searched, documented and compared to their ancient matching counterparts found at various ancient archaeological sites in Europe and the Middle East. Archaeologist, Explorers, Anthropologists and Academics have long been squabbling over the “origins” of what is know as the “Copper Culture in America” and the “who” was responsible and “when” did it take place? Always a point of contention in the heated debate was there were no “smoking gun artifacts discovered” like verifiable “foreign ancient culture artifacts”, the “remains of ancient mariners visiting America”, discoveries of “Ox Hide Copper Ingots known in the Middle East and Europe” found in America, no “evidence of ancient copper smelting or molding facilities in the Americas” and specifically; “no ancient tombs, art or writings from such proposed ancient mariner cultures visiting the Americas”.

Old man winter knocks on us pretty good around here, good thing I don't like it hot.
