Great thread as always. That's a very interesting archipelago and it's entirely conceivable that it could have been reached at several different
points in history, by various sailing peoples. Personally I would have turned back after the first 1000km of nothingness but there ya go. I wonder
what the sea levels were like around there 20,000 years ago.

I've been working on an original story involving Alchemy and the Azores as a probable settlement of the Atlantean Age. I've collected all my info here (and more on the way as of today. I found this post while doing research on a new posting for my page) and you might find it interesting:

I believe the human migration into Australia happened about 40,000 years ago, and though sea level was lower, I imagine that still required boats of some sort, so I could imagine similar seafaring outings into the Atlantic. There is also evidence of rather ancient forays to South America by Polynesians; don't know if they are believed to be that old, but are certainly still way back in the past. Native Americans used to make ocean-going long boats solely with stone-age tools, so I could imagine much older stone-age cultures as also being capable of this.
Re-reading the post, I see it is not claiming the cave art on the islands is 40,000 years old, but rather just of the bronze age era, which is 3200-600 BC. It wouldn't surprise me at all that people with the technology and knowledge of this era could make it to the Azores. This was within the period that the myth of Odysseus occured. If the Greeks were cruising around the Mediterranean, they or other could have made forays into the Atlantic. The Polynesians were certainly cruising about in the Pacific during this time.
Also, I vaguely remember an ATS thread on this very topic once before, you might do a searchy-poo on it, if you are looking for more information on the matter.
