In 2019 sailor, author, and fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, Philip Beale, set out to prove that the ancient Phoenicians could have crossed the Atlantic 2,000 years before Christopher Columbus. As captain and expedition leader of the Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition, Beale tells the exciting story of arguably the most ambitious voyage in experimental archaeology since Kon-Tiki. Now sharing his findings, this illustrated lecture will challenge everything you thought you knew about Columbus and the discovery of the New World.
