1/ Every since the "New World" was found by
seafarers from the "Old World", historians have
consistently under estimated the cultural achievements of
American human history, for example: Anthropologist have assumed
for many generations that the native human inhabitants of the New
World came from the Old World by walking across the ice near the
Bering Sea during the last ice age because the mongol features
found in both the "older" East Asian region and the
"newer" New World natives are similar - therefore,
according to conventional calendrical history, American human
history - and any creative artwork, evolved from Old World
"oriental" history.
(The fact that mongoliod features are found in humans throughout
the Pacific Realm does not necessarily mean that they, as a
separate "variety" of humans, originated within East
Asia)
2/ Is it possible that the mongol race of humans originated in
the New World and nautically ventured across the Pacific Ocean to
the Orient - via Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Indonesia?
(Much of early anthropological literature is written from a
land-lubber's perspective - which consisently undermines the
nautical achievements of ancient maritime cultures, such as the
seafaring ability to voyage over vast distances)
3/ Only now are professional historians beginning to realize the navigational skill of the trans-Pacific native and their remarkable seafaring abilities.
4/ With their fast multi-hull canoes, some of which were over
sixty feet in length, they sailed the waters of the Pacific Ocean
almost as if it were an inland sea.
(A crew member aboard Captain Cook's ship in the Pacific once
documented certain native canoes were so fast that they sailed
rings around Cook's ship while they were traveling at eight knots
"with the same ease as if we were at anchor")
5/ Both the Tahitian catamaran and the
Polynesian/Malaysian "flying proa" employed a mast
and sail configuration almost identical to the Phoenician lateen
rig.
(Imagine the primordial desire of the Pacific mariner to sail
toward the setting sun to satisfy the human curiosity of where
the sun goes every day, and realize how easy it is to understand
the western "down-wind" migratory path of island
hopping across the Pacific Ocean)
6/ Even the successful Kon-Tiki expedition led by Thor Heyerdahl proved that New World natives were capable of "drift sailing" to Polynesia aboard balsa rafts with simple square sails.
7/ It is very likely that since the prevailing wind and water
currents of the tropical Pacific Ocean run from east to west,
prehistoric natives sailed from Middle America to the orient long
before any oriental sailors were capable of
reaching the New World by way of the north Pacific realm.
(There is growing evidence that a fleet of Sino-Korean ships
"discovered" the New World and influenced
the Nahuatlan culture of the Zapotec and Toltec tribes - in
fact, the Yen-Yang symbol (also known as the Tai-ki ideogram),
which is found on the Korean flag, has also been discovered in
stone at the Mayan site of Copan, Honduras)
[Since the Yen-Yang symbol looks very much like the
"hurricane symbol" found carved on rocks in places such
as Cuba, perhaps the "great one-legged wind-god" of the
Toltecs, known as "Jurakan", and the ancient
Sino-sailors of Korea or Japan were somehow related]
8/ Perhaps much of the art and science associated with
oriental Asia can be traced to prehistoric Middle America -
perhaps sun following sailors from the New World brought to
oriental Asia certain social customs and religious beliefs, like
the Buddha system of philosophy and ethics.
(There exists an "interesting coincidence" in which the
mother of Gautama Buddha was known as Maya, and the first name
given to the Mayan region of Middle America was
"Guatemala")
9/ Could the Mayan culture have anything to do with the
building of an ancient shrine at Miya-Jima near Hiroshima in what
is now Japan?
(The Miya-Jima shrine is dated to the same time period in which
Sino-seafarers embarked to the east in "junk ships" to
answer tales of treasure "beyond the sunrise")
10/ Is it merely a "numerical coincidence" that the
Mayan counting system and the Indo-Oriental counting device,
known as the Abacus, share the same quintuplet unit value of five
when calculating "bars" and "beads"?
(According to early mathematical concepts among ancient cultures,
the unit value of the number "0" (zero) was known by
Mayan mathematicians centuries before it was ever realized by any
Old World merchants)
[Regge music is also based on a syncopated five-tone number scale
and is found throughout many ancient maritime cultures -
particularity on the Caribbean isle of Jamaica]
11/ Another prehistoric trans-Pacific "coincidence" can be found by comparing the similarity of an ideographic alphabet from Easter Island in the southern Pacific to that of a character script system found "down-stream" in the Indus Valley of India - wherein the vowel letters of "I,O and U" exist adjacent to a human figurine holding the symbol.
12/ Is it possible that the Sumerians of the Middle East were
the cultural result of sailors from the New World who sailed long
ago the summer winds across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
only to meet each other half way around the globe on what is now
the Arabian peninsula?
(While the Mesopotamia in the Middle East may represents the
"Cradle of Civilization" - the
Caribbean Basin of the New World can be considered the
"Crib of Humanity")
