One of the old criticisms was that Bronze Age people did not have enough "knowledge" to do much in the way of sailing the high seas. A recent find of a 3000-year-old shipwreck off the coast of Britain shows that long-distance sea trade thrived in Bronze Age between various parts of northern Europe and the Mediterranean:

So if they are finding these pieces of sea faring capabilities, how hard would it have been for later cultures to sail the high seas also.

These next few links show new findings that the Romans and Chinese sailed in early days to India (which previously was never thought possible) and that the ancient Indians also were able to sail the oceans:

Some scholars believe that some early portions of the Biblical book of Genesis were first recorded in cuneiform, given the linguistic style of these certain portions that is different from the rest of Genesis (and matches up more to the linguistic style of nearby cuneiform writings). There are several other places where they have found these types of bowls and items in South America. Most traditional archaeologists don't want to pay any attention to this!

MINERAL RESOURCES FOR METALS (AND FOR IRON TOOLS TO CHIP INTO THE ROCK SURFACES):
There seems to be an abundance of iron ore, along with copper and perhaps other metals. In the northern part of the OK Panhandle and across the border into Colorado, gold has also been found. With these sources of metals and fuels, such as coal, the ancient peoples there could have easily made iron tools and implements, most of which are probably buried under some amount of soil by now. The iron could have been made into a type of chisel to make the "pecked" type of inscriptions. There are clay and other materials to make bricks or other types of building materials, perhaps adobe type of materials. There is a thin coal seam contained in the Purgatoire Formation of the Cretaceous era, above the Morrison Formation and below the Dakota Formation. It outcrops in areas of western Cimarron County. This coal-bearing formation is above the copper-bearing formation of the Sheep Pen Sandstone, and right below that is the greenish-colored formation, the Sloan Canyon Formation that many early settlers in the 1900s mistook for holding copper. The Purgatoire also has fire clay that could have been used in smelting operations. There are some outcrops along the Cimarron River, and pieces of fossilized trees have also been found.
