I really hope for "Argonaut's" sake this is a satire. If not, what this fellow knows about ancient Greek ships and the North Atlantic Ocean is only slightly less than I know about advanced quantum mechanics. 
One key point that totally invalidates this entire idea is how Greek ships of thsi period were built. Greek ships of this time were made by mortis and tendon rather than rib and plank like the later Vikings. This building technique would fall apart in a long Atlantic ocean voyage.
Based on my extensive research into Amazon women such as Wonder Woman, Xena the Warrior Princess, KATNISS EVERDEEN, ZULA, BUFFY, etc. This video's invalidates it’s own hypothesis. The Amazons are well known to be a Scythian tribe and they became the Sarmatians. Scythians are not from Africa, he mistakes, Lydia with Libya. The only thing I'll grant him is he has a valid hypothesis which is a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
I am posting this Video to give you all a good laugh, something IMO we all need these days.
IF, BIG IF IMO he actually has a "Valid point", would you please explain what that point is? Thanks

Museum in Yerevan  pursued by the Scytians/Sarmatians a nomadic peoples living much like the Plains Indians of later North America and looking a lot like them.

As a Vigil Member of BSA's "Order of the Arrow" and a proud holder of the "![Indian Law merit badge]() " I know something about the American Plains Indians. I'd say I know a hell of a lot more than most "Wha-she-sho-wee-ko" 
FYI, the Lakota Souix term "Wha-she-sho-wee-ko" means Crazy and/or Idiot white man and I surely am one . 
What I learned from the early 1960's BSA was free from the outright lies and malice laced propaganda taught by the WOKE, Maoist, America hating Academics of today.
Before any of you "Wha-she-sho-wee-ko" get too offended by the terms I use here answer my questions. How many of you "Wha-she-sho-wee-ko" have lived in close proximity, shared Liberty debauches, danger and hardship for many months at a time with a pure blooded Lakota and a Kumeyaay? How many of you have spent a week living with the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay on Viejas Reservation in the pre casino days? So who knows them better, you or I?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?
