Cool history watch


I'm mostly not keen on 1421, Gavin Menzies, pre-Columbian secret voyages, and all those speculations that someone always secretly sailed everywhere before everybody else.

But this story of thousand-year old African coins found on a North Australian beach -- then lost again, and now being seriously investigated -- is kinda nifty in that line of things.
