But then how did they get all over Europe and such? There shouldn't have been enough of them for that.
For their influence to spread all over Europe they don't actually have to physically spread. There is a Viking tribe that claimed to be descendents of an Atlantis type civilization but beyond them I don't think many claim to be such. Maybe its just the story and their agriculture that made it across Europe.
It would be a pretty big gamble to sail over the Atlantic.
Wouldn't be as big of a gamble if you knew the world was round.
Oh I found some cool information about why December 21, 2012 is the dooms day. I was thinking about where I should go to look that up and low and behond the history channel had a show about it. I had already seen it but I forgot this cool bit of information. December 21, 2012 is when Earth will line up with the Galactic center for the first time in 26,000 years. How the hell did the Mayans know about a phenomenon that only happens every 26k years. Luckly one of the sources the documentry used I actually have.
Its a Davinchi Code style novel, laying out a theory and tying it together with a plot. Which lays down all the mathematics that I was wondering how to find easily in one spot. Book's called Domain. Every so many chapters there's a chapter of a journal of some fictional scientist that lays down the author's theories based on information collected from other people. This author is a believer in aliens meddling with human affairs as the bearded white man.
I always thought the math was the best proof of a connection between these ancient civilizations.
The Pyramids of Giza vs the Pyramid of the Sun:
Both the builders of Giza and the Mayan pyramid builders had knowledge of Pi. At 481.3949 feet the Great Pyramid multiplied by 2pi fits within 20 feet of the diameter of the Earth. If you shrink the earth down to 1:43,200 than the top of the Great Pyramid fits perfectly at the North Pole. This shows the Great Pyramid builders had knowledge of the dimensions of the Earth.
The Great Pyramid lays exactly on the 30th Parallel.
It takes 4,320 years to complete two signs of the zodiac in percession. Multiply this by 100 and you hit 43,200. Which is also the number of days in the Mayan Long Count calender equaling 6 Katuns.
It is known from Mayan codexes translated that they calculated percision (wobble of the Earth) to create their long count calender, which is every 25,800 years. If you add all five cycles of Mayan history it equals exactly one precessional cycle.
American scholar John Anthony West found a 25 foot trench surrounding the Sphinx showing what he saw as erosion. A team of geologists said only water erosion could have caused it and only around 13k years ago was it possible. This fact is still debated by Egyptiontologist who claim it was solar erosion. At this time the constellation leo fit with the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids fit with Orion's belt. At this time the dark patch of the Milky Way mirroed exactly with the Nile River's course at the time.
Move to Teotihuacan, a Toltec city:
There's no real proof on who designed the city or built it. The Toltec are the main source having moved in centuries after the city was abandoned.
Teotihuacan also sports 3 Pyramids like the Great Pyramids of Giza in the
same pattern only differeing 180 degrees. The Avenue of the Dead represents the exact same thing as the Nile River, the dark part of the Milky Way. There are signs of pumps leading into this avenue that makes some theorize that it was meant origionally to be a gigantic reflecting pool.
The largest building of the Teotihucan complex has a base of 742.5 feet and is only 12.5 feet shorter than the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Sun Pyramid points west and the Great Pyramid points east. The Pyramid of the Sun's base equals its height multipled by 2pi where the Great Pyramid of Giza equals its height multipled by 4pi.
And here's the map I mentioned:

Most think it was coincidental that Piri Reis showed the layout of Antartica and it very probably is coincidental but its still pretty freaking amazing.

There are still doubts about the beginning of this ice-free period, which has been put by different researchers everything between year 13000 and 9000 BC.
Hmm.. that pesky time period again.
