I think if Egyptians had traveled across the GD Atlantic Ocean we'd have more proof than just one mummies hair, as analyses by one scientist, and never reproduced...

oh, so they're theories... nothing proven and documented such as the vikings
just some crazy claims by people that want their 15 minutes of fame

No, not theories, real tests. And ot was over 5 scientists, one initially, two more working with her and two independent scientists all preforming their own tests, I published thecname of the paper where you can see results

“In the study, samples were taken from nine mummies that were dated from between 1070 B.C. to 395 A.D. The samples including hair, skin and muscle were taken from the head and abdomen. Bone tissue was also taken from the skull. All tissues were pulverized and dissolved in NaCl solution, homogenized, and centrifuged. A portion of the supernatant was extracted with chloroform and dried and then dissolved in a phosphate buffer. Samples were then measured by both radioimmunoassay (Merck; Biermann) and gas chromatography /mass spectrometry (Hewlett Packard) - hereinafter GCMS. “

The actual test results were published in in this paper:
(Balabanova, S., F. Parsche and W. Pirsig, "First Identification of Drugs in Egyptian Mummies", Naturwissenschaften 79, 358 (1992) Springer-Verlag 1992.)

That's where you van find the actual test results, and Dr. Rosalie David published as well...

so here is something that tells you what methods they used including that 
Rosalie David never got to examine the mummies that Balabanova had used
and in her own tests did not find cocaine but only nicotine, did you know
that tobacco is not the only plant that contains nicotine. I know, it's hard to
fathom that eggplants, many brassicas, tomatoes, potatoes and dozens of other
plants actually contain nicotine and many of those plants could have been grown
in egypt or even imported to egypt from neighboring areas

can you tell us what plants were used in the mummification process?

What about the cocaine, son?  Yayo was not an old world drug.

Niccotine does come from many plants, but the cocaine is strictly new world.

i cant find it now, but some really old maps found in china suggests that they may have actually circumnavigated the globe before europeans found the new world

Do you think they could ever sail around the world
