The Mayas push their roots far beyond the Americans and the Ice Age
Now the Clovis hypothesis has been
pushed aside, that theory that said no Homo Sapiens came to the Americas before
something like 12,000 years ago, some 7,000 years after the peak of the Ice
Age, with the evidence Homo Sapiens crossed the Bering Strait before the Ice
Age something around 25,000 years ago, it becomes possible to consider the digs
in southern Chile that have already reached that time and promises to go even
further back are the proof of another migration from the Southern Pacific, a
migration that would have gone beyond Easter island.
The two migrations would have met in
Central America. The southern migration very competent in stone building, the
northern migration very competent in adapting to non-sedentary living
conditions.
The meeting of the two, and probably
their mixing, would explain Amazonian Indians as connected to Northern American
Indians, and the common mythology based on the mathematical knowledge of the
Southern American Indians (Incas, Aztecs and Mayas) and re-written in more
drastic non-sedentary and migrant figures and patterns.
The turtle in the middle of the ocean is
a good metaphor of the earth for people who do not build pyramids on the land
or cities four or five thousand meters high in the mountains. The common
elements in two clearly different mythologies seem to show there are two
traditions meeting there.
The Clovis theory of Northern American
scholars was blocking any other approach with what some considered was
autocratic institutional manacles. Now we can start thinking and some are going
to get a headache.
