Book excerpt: Puts forth a theory that the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas and earlier peoples from whom these groups drew much of their culture, did not spring up independently, but as a result of pre-Columbian transatlantic contact between the Old World and the New. Archaeologists have unearthed colossal stone negroid heads; reliefs depicting priests with semitic features; indications of snake, sun, and cat cults and objects found to antedate the Maya epoch.
