They've found cocaine residue on ancient Egyptian mummies despite the fact that the coca plant only grows in South America. It's widely accepted that the Vikings visited North America around 1,000 AD, long before Columbus. There are sunken pyramids off the coast of Japan and huge monolithic "structures" under the sea near the Bahamas. Fabled lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria. Aaand that's the extent of what I've read. Although I recently read about a Bosnian pyramid larger than the Pyramid at Giza. Radio carbon dating of a leaf in the cement dates it at 29,000 years ago. That's probably bullshit. I didn't get a chance to actually look into that one. |

The Bosnian Pyramid is nothing. Just a hill that a local is attempting to exploit.

The biggest thing I think that disproves the trans-Atlantic trade is cotton actually. Central American cotton was far superior as a raw material for cloth than its Egyptian and Indian old world counterparts. There is no way that it wouldn't be a major trade item. In fact it was used as currency in Mayan and Aztec civilizations. This is of course the non-proliferation of things like tomatoes, chili peppers, and vanilla which have become ubiquitous pretty much all cuisines since the Columbian Exchange. |

Apparently I'm in the minority, but this looks like too much.
The good thing about the X Men movies as of late is that they didn't require much thinking. This looks way too deep while requiring a giant leap, especially in today's climate. |

I thought it looked meh. Storm looked good.
the end of dofp had them all back. So now storm and scott are retconned to the 80s? horseman should of been angel, rogue, juggernaut and pyro with a side of sinister. |

I do feel that Magneto is miscast as one of the Horsemen, though. He's too big and too powerful to be relegated to sidekick duty, even if he was a Horseman in one of the storylines from before. |
