I don't see why not.

Also, regarding pre-Columbus European contact (excluding the Vikings and 
Skraelings) with Americans, the Popul Vuh (known to many modern Mayans as 
the Pop Wuh) tells of ambassadors/explorers who sailed across the Atlantic, 
and returned months later with strange objects, and tales of a large island 
across the sea. If this is true, they were presumably talking about what we 
know today as Africa, or Europe...

Sure, but couldn't it have been the West Indies just as well?

Cheerio!
