Wow, this website and channel are cool! Thank you!
I also learned from the YT comments that there is a theory that the Phoenecians might have crossed the Atlantic to South America, and that they might have brought back cocaine that was used by upper-class Egyptians. I expected this to be some kind of fringe conspiracy theory, but the Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Phoenician_discovery_of_the_Americas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Phoenician_discove...) suggests that anthropologists think it's totally possible, but lacking in actual archaeological evidence to support it. Cool!
