Talk:60 BC

I've not been able to find an historical source for this, but I've read that two American Indians were shipwrecked in Holland in 60BCE. It's always said that this caused a sensation, so where can we read about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.169.57 (talk) 14:38, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source of that (for Cracked, recently, and other websites that have since reprinted it) seems to be Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen (1995). His source, according to Google Books, appears to be Russell Thornton's American Indian Holocaust and Survival: A Population History Since 1492 (1990), however, I can't seem to find where it says it in that book, nor what Thornton's source is. I can't seem to find the information anywhere else, which makes me think it's either false, or a (re-)interpretation from some earlier source regarding strange visitors. I would also be really interested in Thornton's or Loewen's source on the issue.--99.164.92.46 (talk) 00:17, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The book "Still Casting Shadows" by B. Clay Shanno has a reference on page 4. See google books. Bcwilmot (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
