Look, people, this book is NOT REAL. It's a hoax. Every single word of it is made up, though I must congradulate Dr Fell on imagining so many details. There were no Vikings, Romans, Arabs, or Celts waltzing around the Americas. The closest that it ever came were some Viking expeditions up in Canada. Don't you think you'd see the remains of Roman towns, or buried viking ships, or anything other than some scribbles that, if you squint, can look like Ogham? It's like seeing shapes in the clouds. Dr. Fell is NOT a historian, nor an archeolgist, nor anything related to history. What is he a doctor of? Marine biology. I kid you not.
So stop reading this stuff. The history of the Americas is far too interesting to clutter up with hoaxes like this. If you want to know the real Native American history, go ask them.

In general, there is no good reason to accept Fell's linguistic and epigraphic identifications. See my review of America B.C.

I am sad to see that most of Barry Fell's work is either out of print or going out of print. If you think you have American pre-history "wired", you better think again. This is not pseudo-history; it is the work of a chair of University history department and it is based on well-founded research and documentation. Forget the "Siberian Ice Bridge" and other things that are the distant past and consider the evidence for Libyan sailors on the Mississippi River - and Hebraic script transcriptions in a "prehistoric" cave in Los Lunas, New Mexico - I could just go on and on.... in short - get this before it cannot be had anymore. I am just amazed that such things go out of print....

I worked with the author of Saga America because I lived nearby one on the sites he discussed, the source for the INYO ZODIAC. Originally, I was quite skeptical, but became convinced that Fell was correct. Besides the recognition of the Zodiac, Fell also found a notation that seemed to refer to the Vernal Equinox. That led to the discovery of the functions of a complete solar observatory. This book is a true landmark in epigraphic research. The good Professor Fell is no longer with us, but this book will help his memory last forever.

Barry Fell's 3 books on European and Mediterreanian peoples exploration/colonization of North America are the best and most important work on this subject I've ever seen. I am trying to find copies of Saga America and Bronze Age America, having purchased America B.C. a few years back. It isn't politically correct writing that he did, but it was all true.
