THE FOREFATHERS OF THE MAYANS SET SAIL FOR MESO-AMERICA.
[Right: A beach in the Konkan.] The time is about 1,500 BC. A fleet of
Tamil ships in some harbor of the Konkan or Kankon, a beautiful white
sand coastline stretching from todayÃs Maharasthra to the southern tip
of Western India, raises anchor and sails south to what is now the
large island nation of Ceylon (todayÃs Sri Lanka). Their goal is to
sail to Patala or what is now Mexico and Meso-America, leaving
emigrant settlers there. During their stay in Ceylon, they recruit
skilled stone workers, skilled craftsmen, and temple builders in the
province of Maya, to build a new Tamil civilization over or alongside
an Akkad-type (Sumerian) civilization that was already in
Meso-America: that of the Olmecs or Olman.
[Right: Zikharis in Konkan.] The ancient Tamils were international
traders and colonizers. Wherever they went in the world, they left an
unmistakable imprint of their presence, such as place names, foods,
games, and temple buildings. Their temple buildings were usually
zikharis (tiered or pyramidical temple platforms). Often, small
entrances or temples were located on each tier, but not always. On the
top tier, there was always a temple. On top if it often stood an
ornate rectangular steeple. However, circular domes or single spires
often stood on top of the temple as well. Zikharis usually varied in
appearance, according to the Dravidian or Tamil-derived cultures of
the host nations. But one thing never changed: the unmistakable
presence of Tamil influence.
[Right: Kanchipuram Temple.]
[Right: A group of Tamils honoring my friend T. L. Subash Chandra Bose
at a religious meeting. He is the man in the background, wearing a
garland of flowers.] Dr. Polyat Kaya, a Turkish professor of
historical linguistics, wrote: ìPre-Iranian culture was Turanian
culture and civilization before theAryans. Indus civilization was also
a Turanian culture like the Sumerian culture was. Dravidian being
related to these ancient cultures ties them all together and also to
Turkish. They are all agglutinative languages although historians and
linguists are conditioned not to mention the name Tur/Turk.î
(Istanbul

The traditional garb of Dravidian men has not changed in thousands of
years. Like the ancient Assyrians, they wear long flowing skirts
reaching to their ankles.
Many scholars agree that Asura was Assyria, an empire extending from
West-Central Asia down to the tip of Southwestern India. If I am
correct in assuming that the Dravidians were the Asuras, they are
mentioned in Genesis as Ashur, son of Shem. (Genesis 10:22.)
The ancient Phoenicians claimed that they originally came from the
lands alongside the ìErythean Sea.î The ìErythean Seaî is now the
Arabian Ocean,î extending from Pakistan throughout all the western
coast of India.
WERE THE OLMECS TURKISH?
The Olmecs or Olman were the first civilization in Meso-America.
Although there are abundant physical and linguistic artifacts of their
existence, only the Nahuatl-speaking tribes and the Mayans knew
something about the Olmecs or Olman as a people. For certain, we know
that they were Turks because Olmak and Olman are the Turkish names for
Adam. Perhaps they called themselves thusly because they were the
first inhabitants of Mexico.
[Right: ArtistÃs idea of what the ancient Olmec city of La Venta
looked like.] The Olmecs supposedly entered Western Mexico in boats,
crossing the then navigable Isthmus of Tehuantepec. They first settled
on the east coast of Veracruz by the river Papaloapan. The
Nahuatl-speaking people couldnÃt pronounce ìB.î Papaloapan was
probably Babalu-apan (Babylonian Crossing).
The Olmecsà Zikhari (Temple Mounts) were similar to those of the
Sumerian Zigurrats and with virtually the same name: Zicualli and
Zacualli. Because the Nahuatl tribes couldnÃt say ìL,î it was
probably a dialectical version of Zigurrat: Zicuari.
[Left: A central Asian Ziggurat with upper elevations eroded by
centuries.] Hundreds of years after settling on the coast, they moved
in to the central highlands of Mexico and as far northward as the
present-day state of San Luis Potosi. Traces of them may eventually be
found as far as Southwestern United States.
As they multiplied and spread out, they eventually forgot they were
Olmecs and Olman. About all they could remember is that they came to
America in boats: Nava or Nauvak (Nahua or Nauwak), ìship people.î
Eventually, Nauvak changed to Anauwak (no longer ship people). Even
today, the Nahuatl word Anahuac means ìbetween two waters.î The
Nahuatl-speaking tribes also called themselves Toltec, derived from
Toltika, meaning ìSons of Tulan or Turan.î When the Spaniards
arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs called them ìTules,î thinking they,
too, were Turks.
[Above: Map of Tula in Siberian Russia. Did the Aztecs come from this Tula?]
They and the Sumerians prayed to the same mother goddess:
Southern Persia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan had several different
names: Sivapuri (The Region of God Shiva), Sivabhu (Sacred Land of
Shiva), Sivapuni (The Purity of Shiva), and
Shivulba (The Womb, Origin, or Cave of Shiva). The Pueblo Indians
called their underworld or place of origin Sibapu or Sibapuni ; for
the Mayans, it was Shibalba, their "underworld" and place of the gods.
The linguistic and functional similarities of the Hindu Sivabhu,
Sivapuni, and Shivulba with the Puebloan
Sibapu, Sivapuni, and the Mayan Shivalba (Xibalba) are too nearly
exact to be coincidences.
[Right: The "Sumerian" Statue in Tepoztlan, Morelos.]
A Tepe was a low, steep hill surrounded by a village. The Tepe was
used both as a fortress in case of attack and as a religious center
honoring the villageÃs special deity-often a mother goddess. A few of
the many hundreds of Tepes scattered over Sivabhu , even into the
Middle East, are Tepe Yaya, Tepe Ya, Tepe Kilize, Tepe Liman, Tepe
Catal, Tepe Godin, Tepe Cora, etc.
Mexico is the only region outside the Middle East and Central Asia,
where we find hundreds of these combination protective and holy hills
called Tepes. Some of these are Tepatit·n, Tuxtepec, Tepec, Tepic,
Mazatepec, Tepetatas, Tepantita, Tepetzintla, Tepuste, Tepetlix,
Tepetlalco , ad infinitum.
In ancient Sivabhu , the deities located at the tops of these tepes
were called Yah, Yakh, Yakhu, Yaksha, Yakshi etc., meaning ìGuardian
Angel.î The leading Mexican
Yakshi (female guardian angel) had her sanctuary atop what is now
Tepeyac (Hill of the Guardian Angel) in Mexico City. She is now the
Virgin of Guadalupe.
Eventually, the non-Olmec tribes in Mexico, if there were ever any at
all, copied their civilization after them. The Aztecs claimed that
they had once lived in what are now the Florida Cays. When their city
went under water, a sea-faring group saved them, dumping them on the
Mexican mainland. In their annals, they said they adopted the
civilization of the people already there.
The Nahuatl-speaking tribes and the Mayans told the Spaniards that a
people called Tamoan-chan or Tamuan-chan also mixed with the Olmecs.
These would be people from some part of Oceania, such as Samoa or New
Zealand. (See GaribayÃs Llave del Nahuatl.) The word ìChanî meant
ìPlace of Snakesî
In the 1950s, I visited a strange rock formation near Tepoztlan,
Morelos, resembling a badly eroded Sumerian statue. Some people think
it is just a natural formation, but I do not. There are other man-made
formations near it, that are definitely not Aztec.
THE MAYANS WERE TAMILS.
I am now ready to return to the hypothetical voyage of Tamils to
America. They probably used two types of maps. The map below-left
shows Mt. Meru with petals pointing in four directions. The left petal
points toward a distant land called Ketumal or Chetumal. In order to
reach that land, they had to go eastward in order to avoid sailing
around the tip of Africa. They knew where they were going, for they
had been there before! The map below-right was their own map of the
world.
The Mayans said that the land of their forefathers lay 150 days westward.
When the Tamils arrived in North America, they crossed over to what is
now the Caribbean Sea, through the Isthmus of Panama (The Great
Crossing). After coming out the other side, they docked in the safe
harbor of Chetumal. It still bears the same name. Chetumal harbor is
in Belize. Belize derives from Belisha (God Shiva).
[Right: Photo of Chetumal harbor in Belize.]Later, they left Chetumal,
sailing up the coast to a place reminding them of the beauty of their
old home in Konkan. They dropped anchor and made their first home in
America there. Not surprisingly, they decided to name their new home
Kankun (Cancun). After thousands of years, the last syllable has
barely changed in pronunciation.
[Left: Beach scene in Tulum, Cancun area. Right: Map showing their
voyage from Chetumal to Cancun.]
When the Tamils settled in Yucat·n, they built their typical
zikharis, such as those of Tikal and Palenque. At Tikal, they stained
their stone monuments a reddish color, just as they had done back in
the Konkan.
[Left: A Tikal Zikhari. Right: A Pelenque Zikhari.]
People are surprised to see stone images of elephants in Mayan
country, such as the following one in Copan. It may be a reminder of
the elephants in India.
[Right: Stone etching of a Hindu mahout, complete with turban, riding
on the head of an elephant.] Some authorities, who do not agree with
me that the Mayans came from abroad, think Southern Mexico once had
elephants. The truth is that they worshiped a long-nosed god (Chac) or
elephant, just as the Hindu Tamils worshiped the elephant-headed
Ganesha in India.
Chak was the long-nosed Mayan God of thunder, lightning, rain, and
crops. His elephantine trunk sprayed water on the earth. His
equivalent in other parts of the world was
Zeus, Dyaus, Jupiter, Ca, Jah, Ju, Jahve, Jehova Jeho, Sakh, Sagg,
Sa-ga-ga, Sakko, Zagg, Zax . a.k.a. Zeus , is often depicted holding a
serpentine thunderbolt and a grail, or someone is handing it to him.
The Mayan Chak is equally depicted.
The Mayan god Chac.
LINGUISTIC EVIDENCE THAT THE MAYANS WERE FROM CEYLON.
They gave several names that directly and indirectly identified
Ceylon: Shilanka (Xilanca) - an ancient name of Ceylon (Zeilan-Ka).
Shikalanka (Xicalanca) - Ceylon. In Tamil,
Shikalam .
Itzamna was one of their culture heroes. He claimed to have come from
a western country. Isham, meaning 'Tiger, ""Land of Gold," was a
Dravidian name of Ceylon. The Na in Isham-na is an honorific.
Ishbalanka (Xbalanca), another culture hero. In Tamil, it means "Shiva
of Lanka." India's God Shiva was supposed to have made the footprint
on top of Adam's Peak in today's Sri Lanka.
Shibalba , The Mayan underworld. This word stems From the Sanskrit
Shivulba, meaning ìfrom the fountainhead of God Shiva-Mt. Meru, in
India.î
Palenke (Palenque) . This name derives from the Tamil Pal-Lanka ,
meaning "Protectorate of Lanka." Ancient Lanka was IndiaÃs
ìAtlantis.î
The Yaxilan (Yakshilan) Mayan ruins. This name means ìThe Ceylon
Yakhsî in Sanskrit.
Ceren , a name of Ceylon. Some Mayan ruins in El Salvador are called Ceren.
Lacandon , a tribe of Yucatan. India's god Kubera banished the Laks, a
Tartarian Huna or Rakshasha tribe from Northern India to Ceylon,
giving the country one of its many names and becoming the Lakan or
Lakam people. The Don in Lacan-do n derives from Dan (Tannu or Dannu?)
. (See the online Cologne Sanskrit and Tamil dictionaries for
comparison of ancient Ceylon names with those of Mayan tribes and
places.)
THE THREE PROVINCES OF ANCIENT CEYLON.
Ancient Ceylon was divided into three provinces: Maya , the central
division of the island; Ruhuna (Soul of Huna Land) , and Pihitee , the
northernmost of the three. The Ceylonese
Maya were known for their impressive astronomical knowledge,
architectural marvels, temples, and irrigation ponds. (Reference: The
History of Ceylon, by William Knighton, first published in Colombo
Ceylon, in 1845.)
One of the names of Ceylon's cult religions was Mayon . It still
exists among a few aboriginals living on the island.
Most of the Rakshasa and Pisaca bad boys were Tartarian Hunas , They
came from Huna-Bhu, meaning ìHunas (Tartars) from the Sacred Land
around Mt. Meru.î Many of these tribes were cannibalistic, given to
intertribal fighting, practitioners of human sacrifice in their
religious rites, flattened the foreheads of their babies, took scalps
in battle, and observed other customs attributed to many Amerindian
tribes. The Mayans remember them as the culture hero, Hunapu
(Huna-Bhu?) .
Had the natives of Meso-America been able to pronounce the "ST"
combination, today's Yucatan would be Yucasthan (Yakhuthan?) . Even
today, many Mexican Indians and peasants cannot pronounce this
combination. For example, instead of CÛmo est·? (How are you?), they
can only say, "øCÛmo t·?"
Guatemala derives from Sanskrit Guadhaamala , meaning Guha (Cosmic
Intelligence) + Dha (Serpentine) + Amala (Umbilical Cord), the Sacred
Umbilical Cord Linking Western Asia and India with Meso-America.
Besides the Ceylonese and Tamil tribal names Yakkha, Maya , and Lak in
Maya country, there are also the Lenca and Rama tribes. The Mayan
lowlands are even called Guanacaste, meaning The Western Enlightened
Nagas. It is assumed that the Olmecs spoke Nahuatl because of the
place-names they left behind. The Olmecs called the Maya country in
Southeastern Veracruz, Coatzacoalcos (Snake Sanctuary). Snake
Sanctuary was none other than the home of the Western or American
Nagas.
ìOriginally, the Asuras or Nagas were not only a civilized people,
but a maritime powerÖ,Kadru, the mother of serpents, compelled Garuda
(the Eagle or Hawk) to serve her sons by transporting them across the
sea to a beautiful land, which was inhabited by Nagas. The Asuras
(Nagas) were expert navigators who possessed very considerable naval
resources and had founded upon distant coasts.î (The Encircled
Serpent by M. Oldfield, p. 47.)
Even today, the Mexican flag has an Eagle with a serpent in its mouth,
representing the arrival of the ancient Mexicans to Meso-America. It
also represents the arrival of the Meshika to what is now Mexico City.
[Right: Mexican flag.] The Tamils and all the tribes of Meso-America,
from Mexico to Panama, played the same board game: Pachesi. The
Meso-Americans called it by a linguistically similar name: Patolli.
(Note: CH and T are linguistically similar. LL was the only way the
Renaissance Spaniards could approximate the sounds of Z and J. This
proves that Patolli derived from Pachesi.) I myself saw a Patolli
board game at the National Museum of Costa Rica, in San Jose.

board game at the National Museum of Costa Rica, in San Jose.]
BOTH THE MEXICAN INDIANS & TAMILS ATE TAMALES WITH THE SAME NAME!
The Tamils and Turks even gave some of their favorite dishes to the
ancient Mexicans, and with the same names! I will name just two of
them: Tamales and Corundas. The ancient Tamils were known as Tamils or
Tamals. One of their favorite foods was a type of paste or filling
wrapped in bamboo husk. Even in Tamil Nadu it is called Tamal. The
Michoacanos have a similar triangular shaped tamal called Corunda. In
Turkic it would be kur-unda (Turkic dough).
My Tamil Nadu friend, Mr. Subash Bose, pointed out to me the fact that
Hindus often worship cobras and that the Mayans worshipped
rattlesnakes. He said that Mayan huts look exactly like those in Tamil
Nadu.
The Kuberas even gave their name to North America. The Meso-Americans
told the Spaniards that North America was Quivira (Land of the Khyber
People).
Most of us have heard of the Mayan holy book, Chilam Balam. Chilan or
Chilam is a title of Mayan priests. Balam is the Mayan name for
Jaguar. In Sanskrit, Cheilan = Ceylonese and
Vyalam = tiger; lion; hunting leopard. ìJaguarî probably stems from
the Sanskrit
Higkara , meaning Tiger-like or ìsounding like a tiger.î
The Mayans called their ìQuetzalcoatlî Kukulcan and Gukumats. These
names appear to derive directly from the Turkic language. Kuk or Gok
derived from the Turkic Gog and Gok, names of ancient Turkish tribes.
Ulu means ìhigh placed.î Mats derives from
Masi , the Turkic word for ìMessiah.î Khan is a Turkic word for
ìKing.î Therefore,
Kukulcan=Gogulkhan (The Revered King of Gog.) Gukumats=Gokumasi (The
Revered Gok Messiah).
The presence of Dravidian, Turkic, and Sanskrit words in America
shouldnÃt surprise anyone, for the Aryans and Indians (Ramanaka)
traveled together throughout the world. In his book, El OrÃŒgen de los
Indios, the Spanish priest, Gregorio PÈrez, wrote that the Caribbean
Indians said that their founding fathers were the Kuru-Rumani.//
// . They said that he came from the East, bringing seven groups with
him. Two other leaders (Groups?) had also previously brought in
settlers: Igh and Imox. He built a great city, now known as Palenque,
call ìNauchan,î meaning City of the Serpents. When Noah emerged from
the Ark, he and his people built their first city, calling it Nashan
(The Noachide Chan).
Votan founded three tributary monarchies called Tulan, Mayapan, and
Chiquimala. The ruins of Tulan are those of Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Mayapan is the Yucatan peninsula itself. I have not yet located the
region of Chiquimala. Perhaps it is Guatemala or the Mayan province of
Tzequil.
Like many Europoids ignorant of India and its history, Clavigero tried
to place them in Cartagena, Africa, Rome, and even Spain. But he at
least intuited that the early Mayan settlers were Phoenicians.
Had he been more knowledgeable about ancient India and Ceylon, he
would have known that they were Ceylonese, for in Tamil, VALAM POTAM
means ìPlace of Boats.î Valam Potan (Ceylon) was located between the
Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, where the trade winds are. The
differences between Valum Votan and Valam Potam are trivial.
Notice the following map showing the sea and land routes of the
ancient Tamils. Below it, youÃll notice the words Oceanus Indicus
(Indian Ocean). The ancient maps which the Spaniards used to get to
America showed the same terms: Mar Indica; Oceanus Indica. From where
did they obtain those maps showing that the eastern end of Oceanus
Indica was America?
Map showing the land and sea routes of the ancient Tamils.
The stone heads staring at the sea, from the shores of Easter Island,
tell us a lot about the ancient sailors theyÃre supposed to represent.
Notice their ìheadpieces.î Could they be Tamil turbans?
The stone heads of Easter Island.
SOME PARTING THOUGHTS
Many people donÃt know that the Mayans and Toltecs werenÃt the only
immigrants who entered the Americas through Chetumal, the ìPlymouth
Rockî of many American Indians. I can name several United States
Indian tribes who also landed there. Their origin stories say so in
plain words.
In view of what I have said in this article, who is better qualified
to identify the origins of our American Indians? Our Europoid
academics? Or the Turks, Hindus, and American Indians?
All kinds of speculations have been made, many mystical, about the
ancient sea-farers known as Wotan, Woden, the German Wuotan, the Yap
Island Paathan, and the Philipine Bataan. Even today, a large tribe of
Pakistanis are called Pathan. Votan was never a single person. He was
really a ìnation of sailors.î This ancient nation of sailors and
adventurers is still with us: The Dravidian Tamils!
A Tamil ship.
As with GeneÃs Viewzone article about the biblical Mesechs, this
article will also be a chapter in an upcoming book he is preparing
about the origins of our Amerindians. His latest book, What Strange
Mystery Unites the Turkish Nations, India, Catholicism, and Mexico?,
can also provide interested readers with some fascinating insights
about the ancient world.

LINGUISTIC EVIDENCE THAT THE MAYANS WERE FROM CEYLON.
They gave several names that directly and indirectly identified
Ceylon: Shilanka (Xilanca) - an ancient name of Ceylon (Zeilan-Ka).
Shikalanka (Xicalanca) - Ceylon. In Tamil,
Shikalam .
Itzamna was one of their culture heroes. He claimed to have come from
a western country. Isham, meaning 'Tiger, ""Land of Gold," was a
Dravidian name of Ceylon. The Na in Isham-na is an honorific.
Ishbalanka (Xbalanca), another culture hero. In Tamil, it means "Shiva
of Lanka." India's God Shiva was supposed to have made the footprint
on top of Adam's Peak in today's Sri Lanka.
Shibalba , The Mayan underworld. This word stems From the Sanskrit
Shivulba, meaning ìfrom the fountainhead of God Shiva-Mt. Meru, in
India.î
Palenke (Palenque) . This name derives from the Tamil Pal-Lanka ,
meaning "Protectorate of Lanka." Ancient Lanka was IndiaÃs
ìAtlantis.î
The Yaxilan (Yakshilan) Mayan ruins. This name means ìThe Ceylon
Yakhsî in Sanskrit.
Ceren , a name of Ceylon. Some Mayan ruins in El Salvador are called Ceren.
Lacandon , a tribe of Yucatan. India's god Kubera banished the Laks, a
Tartarian Huna or Rakshasha tribe from Northern India to Ceylon,
giving the country one of its many names and becoming the Lakan or
Lakam people. The Don in Lacan-do n derives from Dan (Tannu or Dannu?)
. (See the online Cologne Sanskrit and Tamil dictionaries for
comparison of ancient Ceylon names with those of Mayan tribes and
places.)
THE THREE PROVINCES OF ANCIENT CEYLON.
Ancient Ceylon was divided into three provinces: Maya , the central
division of the island; Ruhuna (Soul of Huna Land) , and Pihitee , the
northernmost of the three. The Ceylonese
Maya were known for their impressive astronomical knowledge,
architectural marvels, temples, and irrigation ponds. (Reference: The
History of Ceylon, by William Knighton, first published in Colombo
Ceylon, in 1845.)
One of the names of Ceylon's cult religions was Mayon . It still
exists among a few aboriginals living on the island.
Most of the Rakshasa and Pisaca bad boys were Tartarian Hunas , They
came from Huna-Bhu, meaning ìHunas (Tartars) from the Sacred Land
around Mt. Meru.î Many of these tribes were cannibalistic, given to
intertribal fighting, practitioners of human sacrifice in their
religious rites, flattened the foreheads of their babies, took scalps
in battle, and observed other customs attributed to many Amerindian
tribes. The Mayans remember them as the culture hero, Hunapu
(Huna-Bhu?) .
Had the natives of Meso-America been able to pronounce the "ST"
combination, today's Yucatan would be Yucasthan (Yakhuthan?) . Even
today, many Mexican Indians and peasants cannot pronounce this
combination. For example, instead of CÛmo est·? (How are you?), they
can only say, "øCÛmo t·?"
Guatemala derives from Sanskrit Guadhaamala , meaning Guha (Cosmic
Intelligence) + Dha (Serpentine) + Amala (Umbilical Cord), the Sacred
Umbilical Cord Linking Western Asia and India with Meso-America.
Besides the Ceylonese and Tamil tribal names Yakkha, Maya , and Lak in
Maya country, there are also the Lenca and Rama tribes. The Mayan
lowlands are even called Guanacaste, meaning The Western Enlightened
Nagas. It is assumed that the Olmecs spoke Nahuatl because of the
place-names they left behind. The Olmecs called the Maya country in
Southeastern Veracruz, Coatzacoalcos (Snake Sanctuary). Snake
Sanctuary was none other than the home of the Western or American
Nagas.
ìOriginally, the Asuras or Nagas were not only a civilized people,
but a maritime powerÖ,Kadru, the mother of serpents, compelled Garuda
(the Eagle or Hawk) to serve her sons by transporting them across the
sea to a beautiful land, which was inhabited by Nagas. The Asuras
(Nagas) were expert navigators who possessed very considerable naval
resources and had founded upon distant coasts.î (The Encircled
Serpent by M. Oldfield, p. 47.)
Even today, the Mexican flag has an Eagle with a serpent in its mouth,
representing the arrival of the ancient Mexicans to Meso-America. It
also represents the arrival of the Meshika to what is now Mexico City.
[Right: Mexican flag.] The Tamils and all the tribes of Meso-America,
from Mexico to Panama, played the same board game: Pachesi. The
Meso-Americans called it by a linguistically similar name: Patolli.
(Note: CH and T are linguistically similar. LL was the only way the
Renaissance Spaniards could approximate the sounds of Z and J. This
proves that Patolli derived from Pachesi.) I myself saw a Patolli
board game at the National Museum of Costa Rica, in San Jose.

BOTH THE MEXICAN INDIANS & TAMILS ATE TAMALES WITH THE SAME NAME!
The Tamils and Turks even gave some of their favorite dishes to the
ancient Mexicans, and with the same names! I will name just two of
them: Tamales and Corundas. The ancient Tamils were known as Tamils or
Tamals. One of their favorite foods was a type of paste or filling
wrapped in bamboo husk. Even in Tamil Nadu it is called Tamal. The
Michoacanos have a similar triangular shaped tamal called Corunda. In
Turkic it would be kur-unda (Turkic dough).
My Tamil Nadu friend, Mr. Subash Bose, pointed out to me the fact that
Hindus often worship cobras and that the Mayans worshipped
rattlesnakes. He said that Mayan huts look exactly like those in Tamil
Nadu.
The Kuberas even gave their name to North America. The Meso-Americans
told the Spaniards that North America was Quivira (Land of the Khyber
People).
Most of us have heard of the Mayan holy book, Chilam Balam. Chilan or
Chilam is a title of Mayan priests. Balam is the Mayan name for
Jaguar. In Sanskrit, Cheilan = Ceylonese and
Vyalam = tiger; lion; hunting leopard. ìJaguarî probably stems from
the Sanskrit
Higkara , meaning Tiger-like or ìsounding like a tiger.î
The Mayans called their ìQuetzalcoatlî Kukulcan and Gukumats. These
names appear to derive directly from the Turkic language. Kuk or Gok
derived from the Turkic Gog and Gok, names of ancient Turkish tribes.
Ulu means ìhigh placed.î Mats derives from
Masi , the Turkic word for ìMessiah.î Khan is a Turkic word for
ìKing.î Therefore,
Kukulcan=Gogulkhan (The Revered King of Gog.) Gukumats=Gokumasi (The
Revered Gok Messiah).
The presence of Dravidian, Turkic, and Sanskrit words in America
shouldnÃt surprise anyone, for the Aryans and Indians (Ramanaka)
traveled together throughout the world. In his book, El OrÃŒgen de los
Indios, the Spanish priest, Gregorio PÈrez, wrote that the Caribbean
Indians said that their founding fathers were the Kuru-Rumani.//
// . They said that he came from the East, bringing seven groups with
him. Two other leaders (Groups?) had also previously brought in
settlers: Igh and Imox. He built a great city, now known as Palenque,
call ìNauchan,î meaning City of the Serpents. When Noah emerged from
the Ark, he and his people built their first city, calling it Nashan
(The Noachide Chan).
Votan founded three tributary monarchies called Tulan, Mayapan, and
Chiquimala. The ruins of Tulan are those of Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Mayapan is the Yucatan peninsula itself. I have not yet located the
region of Chiquimala. Perhaps it is Guatemala or the Mayan province of
Tzequil.
Like many Europoids ignorant of India and its history, Clavigero tried
to place them in Cartagena, Africa, Rome, and even Spain. But he at
least intuited that the early Mayan settlers were Phoenicians.
Had he been more knowledgeable about ancient India and Ceylon, he
would have known that they were Ceylonese, for in Tamil, VALAM POTAM
means ìPlace of Boats.î Valam Potan (Ceylon) was located between the
Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, where the trade winds are. The
differences between Valum Votan and Valam Potam are trivial.
Notice the following map showing the sea and land routes of the
ancient Tamils. Below it, youÃll notice the words Oceanus Indicus
(Indian Ocean). The ancient maps which the Spaniards used to get to
America showed the same terms: Mar Indica; Oceanus Indica. From where
did they obtain those maps showing that the eastern end of Oceanus
Indica was America?

The stone heads staring at the sea, from the shores of Easter Island,
tell us a lot about the ancient sailors theyÃre supposed to represent.
Notice their ìheadpieces.î Could they be Tamil turbans?

SOME PARTING THOUGHTS
Many people donÃt know that the Mayans and Toltecs werenÃt the only
immigrants who entered the Americas through Chetumal, the ìPlymouth
Rockî of many American Indians. I can name several United States
Indian tribes who also landed there. Their origin stories say so in
plain words.
In view of what I have said in this article, who is better qualified
to identify the origins of our American Indians? Our Europoid
academics? Or the Turks, Hindus, and American Indians?
All kinds of speculations have been made, many mystical, about the
ancient sea-farers known as Wotan, Woden, the German Wuotan, the Yap
Island Paathan, and the Philipine Bataan. Even today, a large tribe of
Pakistanis are called Pathan. Votan was never a single person. He was
really a ìnation of sailors.î This ancient nation of sailors and
adventurers is still with us: The Dravidian Tamils!

As with GeneÃs Viewzone article about the biblical Mesechs, this
article will also be a chapter in an upcoming book he is preparing
about the origins of our Amerindians. His latest book, What Strange
Mystery Unites the Turkish Nations, India, Catholicism, and Mexico?,
can also provide interested readers with some fascinating insights
about the ancient world.
