Brazilian weekly magazine Isto é published the article River Duel about the project in the April 21st, 2023 edition.
The May/ June edition of AramcoWorld Magazine, from Saudi Arabia, distributed to subscribers from 125 countries, brings in its cover an article about the AMAZON RIVER FROM ICE TO SEA Expedition’s leader, Yuri Sanada, the only Brazilian member in the Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition.
They sailed from North Africa to the USA aboard a replica of a Phoenician boat from 600 B.C, proving that the Ancient African and Middle Eastern people may have arrived in the Americas long before official European discoveries. “It was like a one-way ticket. You can only sail with the wind behind you. There was no turning back”, said Sanada. For more information: https://www.aramcoworld.com/Articles/April-2021/Could-Phoenicians-Have-Crossed-the-Atlantic
