suggestion that " the Aegean analogues
to Mayan writing, to the Aztec glyphs,
and to the Metcalf Stone inspire the
hope that the deciphered scripts of the
Mediterranean
may
provide keys for un–
locking the forgotten systems of writing
in the NewWorld. A generation capable
of landing men on the moon may also
be able to place pre-Columbian America
within the framework of world history"
(ibid. ,

Earliest Americana NOT lndians7
The conclusion that peoples from the
Mediterranean reached the New World
during the middle of the second millen–
nium betore Christ (or about
3.000
years 'before Columbus) is shocking
enough - and not all scholars are pre–
parad to accept it - but even mora
startling discoveries are upsetting a
number of cherished theories about the
early history of the New Workf. More
and more. those who believe the inhabí–
tants of the New World developed their
cultures in virtual isolation, cut off from
the developing societies of the Middle
East. are having to
tace
new evidence
which is weakening their theory.
In excavations throughout Central
and South Amorica. Dr. von Wuthenau
has found hundreds of thousands of
sculptures often showing human types,
most of them of clay . Naturally, a por·
son would assume that such clay ob–
jects would show distinctive " lndian"
features - that is, the objects would
look like the typical Aztec, Maya or
other similar lndian type. In his book
The
Art
of Terra Cotta Pottery in Pre·
Columbian Central and South Ameríca,
von Wuthenau published scores of pho–
tographs of these an objects. He relates
his astonishment when he observad that
of the early human figures·in the early,
lower levels of each excavation. not a
single " lndian" head was to be found.
lnstead he encountered heads wíth
Mongolian. Chinese and Japanese fea–
turas, as well as those of Tanars. Ne·
groes and
~all
kinds of white people,
especislly semitic types with and with·
out beards...
Asserts von Wuthenau. "1 personally
have not been able to discover among
these distinguished personages a single
' real lndian.' .. Aterra cotta head from
Guerro. Mexico. was remarkably similar
to the Egyptian god Bes. s11d similar
images of this peculiar deity are found
at almost all Phoenician excavation sites
around the Medi terranean . In the
G.uerro district torra cotta heads of

weisse
or "ancient Whites" have afso
been díscovered. Around Acapulco von
Wuthenau found evidence that Mediter–
ranean peoples dwelt together

con·
siderable numbers. Female figurines
trom the orea are markedly Caucasian,
with delicate eyebrows. small mouths,
opulent coilfures, etc.
In the region of Mexico City, von
Wuthenau found a(l objects with nar–
row faces· and long curyed noses and
beards (the lndians had no beards). The
temale objects had delicate profiles, fine
st raight noses. sometimos with a slight
uptum common in the White
rece.

Evidence From the OId Wortd
As remarkable as the unfolding story
of the ear1y Western Hemísphere may
be, there is a corresponding line of hard
evidence in the Eastem Hemisphere.
The evidence has been read time and
time again by scholars and students of
classical literatura, but i t has never been
fully comprehended.
·scholars for many years have been
aware of cultural parallels between Cen–
tral America and the Middle East. The
Mixtec lndians squeezed . royal purple
dye out of the snail Purpur11 paiula ol the
Pacifíc Ocean; the Phoenicians per–
formed the same feat with the snails
MJrex truncatus
and
Murex brandaris
found in the Mediterranean. Reed rafts
were uséd by the ancient Egypt ians;
" l~dians"
used similar ones from the
Pacific coast of California to Chile.
Like the peoples 'of the Middle East.
thé early peoples of the Americas ·wor–
shipped the sun, built giant stone stat·
ues, wrote by hieroglyphs, performed
cranial surgery, and mummified the
dea~.
Were all these traits developed
independently and in isolation7
" There are a number of cultural ele–
ments so strikingly alike in the
two
hem·
ispheres that the possibility of their
transoceanic spread to America must be
seriously oonsidered" (Steward and Fa–
ron. Native Peoples of South Americe,
p.
41).
But aside from the cultural sim·
ilarities. what are we to do with state..
ments in
ancient Jiterature?

In the fourth century a .C.. a Greek
writer. naméd Theopompus mentioned
an enormous " continent" outside the
Old World, inhabited by peoples with
strange lif&-styles.
Oiodorus of Siclly, who lived in the
first century B.C.• wrote: "For there líes
out in the deep off Libya [Africa] an
island of considerable sité, and situated
as it
is
in the ocean
it
is
distant from
Libya a voyage of a number of days to
the west. lts land is fruitful, inuch of·it
being mountainous and not a little
being a level plain of surpassing beauty
Through it flow navigable rivers ..."
(5. 19 1-5).
Thera is no island with
these attributes unless Oíodorus was re–
ferring to the West lndies or the West–
em Hemispherel
In Book
20,
Oiodorus explained, " In
ancient times this istand remained un.–
discovered because of
its
distance from
the entire inhabited world.' ' He then
describes Phoenician voyages beyond
the Pillars of Hercules (the straits of Gi–
braltar) and how they "were driven by
strong winds a great distance out into
the ocean. And after being storm-tossed
for many days they were canried ashore
on the island
wé
mentioned above . . ."
(20. 1-4).
This histories! note
'is
remarkeble in
view of the fact that Phoenician ín–
scriptions have been fouqd in Brázil.
Similar noteworthy
statements
were
made by Plato. who lived about
400
a.c. In Timaeus. Plato wrote of an ear·
liar time; "In those days the Atlantic
was nav1gable; and there-was an island
situated in front of ihe straits which you
call the cólumns of Hercules; the island

larger than libya and Asia put to–
