Man began to sail in the Mediterranean at least 130,000 years ago, or over 100,000 years earlier than we knew until today.
is what emerges from research conducted in Crete by a team of American and Greek archaeologists led by Prof. Thomas Strasser from the University of Providence, and which seem capable of revolutionizing the whole of human history. As announced today, the Hellenic Ministry of Culture in a statement, archaeologists have unearthed near 'a high marine terraces "and dating back at least 130,000 years ago, stone tools in two areas of Crete that date back to between 130,000 and 700,000 years ago and are the earliest indirect evidence of a human browsing, at least from the Mediterranean island and the mainland. Until now the oldest sailing in the Mediterranean was traced back to 12,000 years before Christ. Ana The Agency, in reporting the discovery, quotes a member of the team of archaeologists, Professor Curtis Runnels, whereby if the inhabitants of Crete were able to cross the Mediterranean 130,000 years ago, one can imagine that could also make trips beyond the Mediterranean.
