There's that, "very old" Australia - Sth. America connection again;

1. That black African explorers or traders penetrated Central and South America in prehistory. And that these individuals enjoyed high status.

Early evidence at
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/430944.stm which quotes - "Archaeologists speculate that such an incredible sea voyage, [from Australia to Brazil], would not have been undertaken knowingly but by accident. Just three years ago, five African fishermen were caught in a storm and a few weeks later were washed up on the shores of South America. Two of the fishermen died, but three made it alive"

"Perceptions" - not for the first time - disagrees with the establishment's academics. We believe organized expeditions took place.
