Most archeologists still can not explain ancient traces of drugs from the ‘New World’, such as cocaine and tobacco in Egyptian mummies. Perhaps the secretive Phoenicians - who jealously guarded their secret trade routes - may have been behind this mysterious, trans-Atlantic trade. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were behind the false propaganda of a “flat earth” deliberately spreading fear, to steer away potential competition to what may actually have been an ancient trade monopoly. The Templars themselves likely knew the earth was round, as the Kabbalah clearly stated it.
