. The Grave Creek Tablet was discovered in 1838 in West Virginia, U.S.A. It is a small sandstone disc and is inscribed on one side with alphabetic characters. It was found during excavations at the Grave Creek Mound (69 feet high and 295 feet in diameter). Although the tablet is now missing, a plaster cast and a photograph exist in the Smithsonian Museum.

. Diodorus Siculus, Plato, and Tacitus all subscribed to the belief that the alphabetic letters were brought to Phoenicia from Egypt. Interestingly, Eusebius quotes a fragment from Sanchoniathon that Thoth, the Egyptian, was “the teacher of the Phoenicians in the art of writing.” In view of the ancient alphabetic characters found in Egypt by archaeologist William Flinders Petrie, and of the fact that the Egyptian god Thoth originally ruled in a western land, this is very significant.
84
. Tacitus was a Roman historian who lived from
A.D.
56 to 117.
85
. Strabo recorded this, among many other interesting facts about southwest Iberia, in his
Geographica
. His descriptions are uncannily similar to Plato’s description of Atlantis.
86
. This was carved on reindeer bone. That animal has not populated southern France and northern Spain since the glacial period, so the dating of this discovery can hardly be disputed.
87
. Discovered in 1916 at Banca Deta, Corunna, in Galicia, northern Spain.
