Description: Pre-Columbian transoceanic contacts, Mesoamerican archaeology Romeo H. Hristov, specialist on Mesoamerica. Graduate National School of Anthropology and History of Mexico, and Ph.D. (ABD) in Prehistory/Archaeology from the University of Salamanca, Spain
Romeo H. Hristov is an archaeologist interested in the long distance contacts and cultural interaction in Mesoamerica, as well as several theoretical issues related to diffusion as a factor in the dynamic of the cultural changes. Since 1993 the primary focus of his research has been the possible existence of a few isolated cases of contacts and cultural interactions between the ancient Mediterranean and the Mesoamerican civilizations. A significant amount of extravagant speculation on, and the lack of any decisive evidence of, such contact for more than five centuries has raised a lot of scholarly skepticism and misconceptions regarding the topic. Yet an examination of the ancient navigational routes along the North African coast and their time�scales unambiguously reveals that at least some accidental drifts across the mid-Atlantic from this area are highly likely to have happened between XI century BC and V century AD.
