Renowned linguist and scholar Cyrus H. Gordon draws on a wealth of evidence — from inscriptions and artifacts to linguistic parallels and ancient texts — to argue that Phoenicians, Hebrews, and other Mediterranean peoples made transatlantic voyages long before the Age of Exploration. Written with the conviction of a seasoned academic, the work challenges the conventional narrative of pre-Columbian isolation and illustrates how cultural diffusion shaped civilizations on both sides of the Atlantic. Gordon marshals his evidence with scholarly rigor while maintaining an accessible and persuasive tone, making a provocative argument that continues to spark debate among historians and archaeologists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887897653467,"sku":"2026200007383-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9ee33277-1c55-436c-a9e8-4a36bc40f6dd.png?v=1781748244","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007383-secondhand-before-columbus-links-between-the-old-world-and-ancient-america","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
