But, there are others works like the resaerch of Dr. Robert G. Geldern and his men, that demanded serious consideration. My teacher of classical lenguish, Manuel Garcia Delgado M.A., he is a Big scholar and performed many years in study the languages of Precolonial Mexico and he quote many other cientifics in this field, that finds, may interesting relationship between southasiactic cultures like Indochina and Polynesia, Burma and Manipura etc., in folk, language, religions, cosmogony, astrology, costume, iconography, with some mexican cultures. For exempla, there is a nice investigation from the Professor Francisco Alvarado Contreras called The Sanskrit and the Taraska lenguage (El sánscrito y la Lengua Tarasca. Edit. Manuel Porrúa, S. A. ) Other interesting topic is the relations whit the architecture, is right your assertion. Also, because I am from Mexico, and I had visited all the ruins, (My sister and brother in law are Ph. D antropligist from the UNAM). In the Motealvan ruins thera are a carved very similar to GANESH. The motives in the art are very provocative, because you found in the Bonampak ruins, lotus flowers, Simhasanas, mayas-nobles seating in padmasana on of simhasana and the traditonal Svastic. Also elephants mounted by man, and the famous scholar Makensie said, about of this elephant it is not mamut; but hindus race. I am nor believer like historians like Dr. Oaks, but I look all this ruins with my eyes, not in the profesor chair. For me, is very dificult to be relucant and subjetive reject this and many facts, that indicate the posibility of some contacs or migrations long time ago between Southasia and Mesoamerica. If your fine persons want to be in contac with my teacher I can attaind his e-mail, because he speak english and he was prefesor in USA, long time ago. You can attain more information of this topic with Michael Parker in his real forum of free speak in Indology in this vediculture At your service Horacio Fco.
