Sometimes you just wonder why the similarity between these things in cultures separated by oceans. . . . .
My hypothesis is that the jewels, myths and forms existed 20,000 years ago, and they brought them along when they crossed to America. No other explanation. Cheers.
I agree; some DNA test will confirm this, I suppose.
I imagine. Though strangely enough I have not found any significant research on DNA comparing Asian and Latin-American populations. Maybe it hasn’t been done.
I seem to recall some test was carried out, but the finding was to the contrary. To my surprise, the finding also said Japanese has some DNA of people from Tibet!
Strange… In those cases (putting my researcher hat back on) I tend to ask: what was the sample size? 😉
That wasn’t a research paper and no sample size was mentioned. I would put more faith on researches than just articles.
Agreed.
I am interested in this area and will look up more on this when I have the time.

Excellent. The shape of one of her jewels ressembles a Tairona jewel from Colombia. Weird
