The state of the art historical analysis of claims that Carthaginians discovered America is possibly true. There is evidence that the Carthaginians were seafarers and they definitely travelled around the tip of Africa. Gold coins minted by the Carthaginians with the maps of the ancient world printed on them have been found. The images were enhanced using computer technology, allowing researchers to study the maps in great detail. These maps provided possible evidence that the Carthaginians traveled to modern day New York.
