But that's easy! There was this continent of Atlantis... But Donovan sang it much better!
Quote:
The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.

But all jokes aside...
Why should all people in the Americas have crossed by the Bering Strait? Thor Heyerdahl proved in the '70's and '80's that people could sail in their primitive crafts across oceans. I also once saw a documentary that suggested that people from Europe crossed the shrunken Atlantic Ocean, alongside the ice sheet, in dugout canoes.
As long as we don't have a time machine, we'll never be sure, and all theories are conjectures.
