Europe to america travel

1Whoever knows nothing beforehand about such a subject, and yet sets out to find out what it refers to, would begin with a very general conceptual and lexical reflection: would it be to speak of travelers on the one hand, and naturalists on the other, or of travelers who had left observations on natural realities? Or would it be more specifically to evoke the subclass of travelers who were at the same time naturalists or who pretended to act and/or acted as such?

2Then, a first simple question that could be answered in more or less general terms would be to know who should be designated as travelers. Then, among them, and in particular for a more recent period, let us say from the 18th century onwards (Pimentel: 47), who were the naturalists, where they were, what they were interested in and what consequences their activities could have had in the field of knowledge and also in the development of the American societies that were the objects of their observations. This impact may have consisted in helping (directly or indirectly) to raise awareness of the existence of a past, of a heritage, of a culture that deserves to be integrated into the national heritage and general knowledge. It may also have contributed to the emergence of projects and institutions dedicated to discovering and protecting this past and this heritage. And most certainly, it served for the prestige and development of the nations from which the naturalist travelers came (Kury 2001: 147 ff.).

The answer is yes. In May 2017 I had the opportunity to travel on a transatlantic cruise from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia to Lisbon, Portugal, it’s a repositioning cruise. It was over two weeks on board, several stops along the way and a completely different experience than traveling by plane. And yes, it is worth less than a plane ticket.

These ships are called repositioning cruises, positioning, or repos, as they are known in the jargon. For a long time most companies did not market these ships, until slowly the trend began to reverse.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions and one of the most difficult to answer because it will all depend on when you read this post. The route I took in May 2017 started from Puerto Limon in Costa Rica. It stopped in Cartagena, Saint Marteen, Antigua, Madeira and finally arrived in Lisbon.

It all depends on the itinerary you choose, and the port where you board. Generally, an average of 12 days is calculated. We sailed 14 days and made three stops between the port of origin and the final destination. In total there were 7 consecutive days of seeing nothing but water.

How Europeans arrived in the Americas

The remaining theories of pre-Columbian contacts are highly speculative, and lack scientific consensus.[29][30] There has been speculation about a possible African origin of the Olmec people,[31][32] a hypothesis of racist origin[33][34] based on the supposed “negroid” features of some Olmec sculptures,[33] and which was later embraced by certain Afrocentrist currents. [35] Genetic evidence has shown that Olmec populations are not related to African populations,[36] and the supposed anthropological evidence has been described as based on “superficial judgments and erroneous conclusions. “[37] There has also been speculation of pre-Columbian contacts by Chinese,[38][39] Japanese,[40][41] Indian,[42] Phoenician,[43] Egyptian,[44] Roman,[45] Celtic,[46] Jewish,[47] Arab [48][49] navigators or explorers,[50] and African travelers from the Mali empire. None of these hypotheses has a scientific consensus, and they are usually considered as pseudo-archaeology and pseudo-history.[29][30]
