That was a Phoenician expedition recorded by the Egyptians.

I am corrected. ISTR the expedition was funded or instigated by a pharaoh, but could be hallucinating.

A whole mess of authentic Egyptian hieroglyphs were found carved in rock faces in Australia, a few decades back. They were recently examined and translated by an expert in ancient Egyptian language. They turn out to describe the disastrous end of a big expedition a bit over 2000 years ago. Some of the symbols used entered dictionaries only a few years ago, so they are unquestionably authentic.
