There are also giant, unexplained stone sculptures of what appear to be African heads on the coast of Mexico.

No, silly. It was the Chinese who discovered America before Columbus. Those junks were very seaworthy compared to European vessels of the time.

It would be fairly easy for Orientals to ride the Japanese current along the coasts to North and South America. But coming East to West would be quite a feat, as is from the Orient or Polynesia to Hawaii. You can't miss the Americas but Hawaii is a damn small target.

The National Geographic link I posted before, and this site, I found this morning, show the consensus of the migrations.
