happy to see this.

A Case for Pre-Columbian Transoceanic Contact

The remains of Comalcalco in Tabasco, Mexico, display anomalous

features relating to architecture and construction that are not found

elsewhere in the Maya region. These features appear without any

apparent developmental stages. Fired clay ........ However, detection

of possible alphabetic characters on some of the bricks reveals that

the donor culture was more likely to have been Indo/Asiatic, although

seemingly containing elements of contemporary European culture.

.....

 

At least six bricks found at Comalcalco bear possible Brahmi

inscriptions. (Figs. 9 - 12). The inscriptions are 3-12 characters in

length. One brick consists of a single two or three character

inscription like that of the mysterious "shell script" of India and

Indonesia which was in use during the 4th to 8th centuries AD. (Figs.

13A & 13B). In the Old World these scripts are often found together

consisting of short sequences of characters which Richard Salomon

believes to be mostly signatures or `pilgrim records.26
