No, this is "Pre-Columbian Exploration of the Americas."

Just an FYI Michigan has been visited for trade or at least mining in the way past. Lots of the old bronx has Michigan copper in it.

The Michigan Copper Culture is quite well known. Locals mined the almost pure native copper for a very long time, then stopped.

So cover your eyes.

I just noticed that at least one famous painting of the famous Cherokee chief Sequoyah looks just like the TV show Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, who is half Lebanese.

Sequoyah's father is thought to have been from Southwestern Germany.

Perhaps his other relatives were distantly related to some pre-Columbian visit from the Middle East?

Of course, it could be from a post-Columbian visit as well. But I'd rather speculate it was a pre-Columbian visit which was helping fund the Ottoman conquest of Europe, which Europe had to stop by confiscating the New World.

Only to those willing to ignore the evidence to preserve their sparkly fairy-tale worldview.

So, why don't we have archaeological evidence of the Kem being there? We have evidence of the Naqada, Waadi and other cultures in the Nile Valley but where are the habitations, burials, tools, etc of the Kem? But who do you think the Kem were?

The Egyptian Culture built every monument and temple at Giza (and everywhere else in Egypt.)
Prove that wrong.

According to legend a Welsh prince allegedly discovered the place in 1170 who went by the name of Madog ab Owain Gwynedd.

Florida may have been discovered by Ottomans or Berbers or Arabs, then lost again.

Perhaps an explorer, perhaps a castaway landed there and called himself "the furthest pilgrim" or......Al-Aqsa Hadji

Perhaps the natives remembered the name and were still calling a local river the "Loxahatchee" river when Florida was discovered.

The natives just south of there, in the Miami area, were called the Tequesta. The last Guanche king of Tenerife was called Tegueste.

Maybe pirates knew about the New World long before it became officially known. They were probably sometimes desperate enough to hide that they sailed into uncharted territory, they were not beholden to be responsible to a ship's owner or investors in the cargo, they may have paradoxically discovered the New World because they were amateur navigators i.e. they got lost, etc.

Lots of possibilities but no evidence to support such. There was continual contact between the Aleuts and Inuits around the Berring straits and Asia and the Americas were being 'discovered' on a monthly basis. Others from the Old world might have gotten to the New but if so it was fleeting and left no traces and certainly didn't trigger an earlier version of the Columbian Exchange.

They were also known as the Tekesta, Tegesta, Chequesta, Vizcaynos and the other guy was in the Canary islands, The Spanish probably gave them that name based on the other guy being a real difficult person in resisting their conquest of his lands, that or a coincidence.

Are you speculating that the Spanish gave them that name or do you know it was the Spanish like we know our culture gave the "Anasazi" their name?

Speculation. I do remember they are referred to by many names, as I noted. I am not aware if anyone recorded their name for themselves.
