I hear ya'll, but Aztec was the the only civilization I assumed most posters on this board are familiar with. I'm mainstream like that. Like Spielberg, or Kanye West.

Quezacoatl dewd! Rock on. Ever read "Fingerprints of the Gods"? Hancock talks about the "viracocha", the white-skinned bearded bearers of wisdom (no, not the Mormons...they went further North) and how they contributed to the inexplicable and amazing architechure that predates several of the indigenous cultures of central and south America. Cool stuff. He draws paralells between the architechure of the Americas with that of the Egyptians and demonstrates with a variety of footnoted and dated quotations (yeah baby, I know some of you clowns just eat dat right up!) that these cultures are much older than conventioanal archeology reckons.
There's also some interesting points made regarding some source maps that were used to make some of the earliest maps, indicating that people were able to circumnavigate the globe prior to the ice sheets covering Antarctica entirely.

Richard Roundtree? Didn't he play Dolemite?
So does he play an Aztec or the bearded serpent himself? |

Richard Roundtree played Shaft. The one and only Rudy Ray Moore played Dolemite. |
