: No no no, much bigger, cooler, and completely off-topic

Wow…I hope it's good :-).
: I think I started to browse through it once but got
: pulled off to something else. I'll check it out again
: later.
Great! :-)
: Aye, and there's plenty of archaological evidence behind
: that. The Incas and Maya have strong South Pacific
: cultural influences, and we know that polynesians

Excelent, Forrest! :-) You seem to have a very adiquate knowledge of other cultures of the world, besides the Occidental, so you are one of the best-suited candidates to learn about my personal beliefs (atlan.org)! This is very exciting for me…
: One of the most interesting indirect corraborations of
: this is the Mayan pyramids, the black native central
: Americans, and cocaine found in Egyptian mummies.
: What's the connection? Well, if polynesians sailed to
: South America, what's to keep their South American
: descendants from sailing to Africa? Say they sold coke
: to the Egyptians for slaves, and saw these cool
: stepped pyramids while they were there... BAM. Black
: people in South America, coke in Egypt (when it's only
: native to South America), and Mayan pyramids.
: Hey - now that I think about it, that might even be where
: the Egyptians, and thus Greeks, got their Atlantis
: myths! Hawai'iki and Peng-lai could very well be the
: same island, somewhere in the western/southwestern
: Pacific (did I hear Sili mention Lemuria?). The
: polynesians came to South America, which is where the
: Incas and Mayans got their myths from. South Americans
: sailed to Egypt for trade, and told of the same myths
: while they were there.
: Egypt reworked the myths, mutating them over time into a
: continent in the Atlantic (the south americans would
: speak of a continent far off to the west in their
: myths, since they had come from polynesia). Perhaps
: they thought it was South America. The polynesian
: naval abilities certainly fit, as do the Incas huge
: walled cities plated in gold! Then the Greeks learned
: of this from the Egyptians... and the whole world has
: this same myth now.
: Of course each culture would twist it and mutate it with
: other myths - the Athenians probably had some war with
: an island culture in the Pacific which sunk from
: volcanic eruption (there were a whole lot of those, it
: seems), and crossed those records with the distorted
: polynesian myths they learned from the Egyptians. The
: Chinese obviously have their own cultural twist on it
: with Peng-lai. Hell, even the Christian creation myth
: seems to tie into it somehow, though I'm not sure how
: the migration of the mythology would work there.
OMG! Forrest is my new best friend!! :-D
You have a lot of good ideas and feeling for this ancient and mystical time, dear Forrest. Because of this, there is no reason for me to contradict or nitpick anything your saying.
Instead, I'd rather you go to the site and find out for yourself about all of this, see how you're precisely on the right track, and learn about some truly profound things :-).
Until then, I'm just going to smile and nod in a positive and very friendly way and see your curiosity gloriously bloom :-). (It's really fun for me to see someone like you open your mind to these kinds of worldy concepts; not that you weren't open before, but this is the first chance I get to see you yourself go through this fulfilling experience.) Best of reading to you!
So, what are you doing looking at this? Go read! :
