Ancient Egyptians had contacts with America. Pineapple and corn prove it
During my last trip to Egypt I discovered some details that my Italian and foreign colleagues had missed, capable of subverting the history of navigation.
According to the official version of history, before Columbus's arrival in America, no one was aware of the existence of the American continent and the civilizations that developed before 1492 lived isolated and unaware of great cultures rising and falling on the soil of the continent overseas.
There is an alternative version, however, called Diffusionism, which claims that the civilizations of the Old World already knew about America in ancient times, and traded goods and exchanged knowledge with its civilizations.
There are a series of interesting archaeological and historical clues to support that America was known before Columbus but today we can advance the hypothesis that the ancient Egyptians already had commercial relations with America (perhaps they arrived there with their ships, or received goods brought by other peoples who had relations with the pre-Columbians).
Clues are very substantial and I have personally identified them among official finds preserved in the Cairo Museum. In the section of the museum dedicated to the Amarnian period and the pharaoh Akhenaten there is a box with small objects discovered in the Amarnian tombs (1352-1295 BC). Some are certainly pine cones but two small green objects, only a couple of centimeters long, have a long dark colored tuft.
It is clear and obvious that it is a PINEAPPLE, as the pine cones do not have this tuft as they are the fruit of coniferous trees and not the fruit of a succulent plant which is native to South America and officially brought to Europe only after Christopher Columbus. Also note the direction of the "scales". In a pine cone these point downwards and this is also well reproduced in the Egyptian faience pine cones placed in the display case.
In the pineapple the scales point upwards and this is what can be seen from the two small Egyptian faience pineapples (there is perhaps a third, larger one, also green in color but seems to have lost its tuft). The green color is natural for ananas picked unripe.
So, what are they doing with pineapples in Egypt if the cultures of Egypt and South America never officially came into contact?
The only answer is that, to reproduce them so faithfully, the Egyptians of the Amarnian period necessarily had to know this fruit, either for direct or indirect trade. In the second case, someone in America still had to go there to bring them to Africa, so these two pineapples prove that America was discovered long before Columbus. Was it the Egyptians? We don't know but these finds date back to around 1300 years before Christ and can be seen today in the Cairo Museum.
Another clue is given by some corn cobs which, personally, I believe I have identified among the reliefs of the temple of Rameses II in Abydo. On the inner right wall of the surrounding wall the Nile god Apis brings offerings. Two findings, one following the other, allow me to identify the presence of this American cultivation plant among the Egyptians. In one relief Bees brings bread, figs, pomegranates, ducks and grapes. There is no doubt that these are grapes. In the next one the offerings are the same but this time the grapes have been replaced by something more elongated which is certainly not grapes, nor are they pine cones. I believe, although I am less sure than the pineapples in the Cairo Museum, that it is corn. We also seem to recognize one of the classic elongated leaves that cover the ear in the one on the left of the image. Furthermore, the grapes, as can be seen from the same bas-relief placed next to them on the same wall, have a very different appearance, much more recognisable.
So, who brought pineapple and corn to Egypt if these cultures officially never came into contact?
There is only one answer, not only does the history of navigation need to be rewritten, but the entire history of civilization needs to be revised.
