Ancient Roman's In America?

It's not April 1st, otherwise I would post this in Humor, but . . .

Historians claim evidence about Roman discovery of United States even before Columbus

A group of historians has claimed that they have found proof that may ‘rewrite the history’ of America by proving that its discovery wasn’t done by Christopher Columbus, but by the Romans.

Sounding good . . . but oh ho . . .

Quote:

The sensational latest study has revealed that ancient mariners went to the New World over a thousand years before Columbus set foot there. Boffins from the Ancient Artifact Preservation Society (AAPS) said that a Roman sword has been found in a shipwreck off Oak Island on Nova Scotia’s south shore, Canada.

Oh dear . . .

Quote:

However, lead historian Jovan Hutton Pulitzer has insisted that the haul is solid evidence that the Romans were the first ones to land there. Pulitzer said that it is the ‘single most important discovery’ ever for the Americas.

I cannot do justice to Mr Pulitzer. Try a Google for the details of his absolute nuttiness and/or qualifications!
