Migration of the Gods
Please note that this is in no way intended to be historically accurate. Some of it is based on solid fact (like the Vikings' expeditions), but a lot of the earlier stuff is taken from speculation (like the Australian Aborigines' presence) or totally unsubstantiated claims (like the Ancient Egyptians and the fifth century Chinese voyage). It's just being used here to help you figure out when your gods might have arrived in America.
