Synopsis

In "Rocks & Rows: Sailing Routes Across The Atlantic and the Copper Trade," authors Jay Stuart Wakefield and Reinoud M. de Jonge delve into the fascinating connections between ancient petroglyphs and transatlantic trade routes. This revised edition offers an in-depth exploration of how copper trading might have driven early maritime navigation across the Atlantic.

The book presents compelling evidence of sophisticated sailing knowledge and navigational routes established by ancient mariners, linking the Old World with the New. Through meticulous research, Wakefield and de Jonge interpret petroglyphs and other archaeological findings, proposing that these symbols were used as navigational aids by ancient seafarers.

The narrative takes readers on a journey from the shores of Europe to the riverbanks of North America, unveiling the mystery of how ancient cultures might have interacted and traded. Illustrated with detailed maps, photographs, and drawings, "Rocks & Rows" invites readers to rethink conventional historical narratives about pre-Columbian transoceanic contact.

Wakefield and de Jonge's interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeology, history, and geology, makes "Rocks & Rows" an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history, maritime archaeology, and the mysteries of early exploration. Whether you are a scholar or an enthusiastic amateur, this book offers a new perspective on the history of human exploration and the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations.
