Il ritrovamento di un parassita 'messicano' in un vaso da notte romano del II secolo è un vero schiaffo in faccia alla narrazione tradizionale che vede l'America e l'Europa come due mondi totalmente isolati fino al 1492.

Durante gli scavi tra le rovine di un'antica città romana del II secolo in Bulgaria, gli archeologi hanno rinvenuto un comune vaso da notte in ceramica. Analizzando i sedimenti mineralizzati incrostati sul fondo del contenitore per diciassette secoli, i ricercatori hanno identificato tracce di un parassita che non apparteneva a quell'area geografica. Questa scoperta mette in discussione le attuali conoscenze storiche sulla diffusione delle malattie nell'antichità.
Il parassita rinvenuto è il Cryptosporidium parvum, un organismo che, secondo i manuali di storia e biologia, all'epoca esisteva esclusivamente nel Messico precolombiano. La sua presenza in un contesto dell'Impero Romano del II secolo rappresenta un'anomalia scientifica significativa, poiché suggerisce la circolazione di agenti patogeni tra continenti che si ritenevano isolati l'uno dall'altro fino all'epoca di Cristoforo Colombo.
Come spiegato da Eli e Blythe, il ritrovamento sfida la narrazione tradizionale che vede l'Europa e l'America come mondi totalmente separati fino al 1492. Trovare un parassita messicano nell'Impero Romano è un evento che mette in crisi i cronologisti, suggerendo possibili contatti transoceanici o dinamiche di diffusione biologica finora sconosciute che collegano il Messico precolombiano ai territori romani molti secoli prima della scoperta ufficiale delle Americhe.
