The Carthaginians had exactely the same problem. As for the Chinese, at what time? If you're refering to the chinese great exploratory and comercial voyages that happened almost around the same time as the european discoveries. Japan is much more proximal to China than a voyage from Assyria to the Americas. Not really comparable at all. As for the Polinesians, I have to check the specifics of the case since I'm not familiar with their history.

Obviously wrong? Why? What do you think humans were doing 8.000 years BC that is so "obvious"? I'm just curious.

Pitty, because I'd love to see those. I'll try to find something on the net as soon as I have some time.
