Originally there were many explanations for the great structures found by the Conquistadors in Mexico. Some said they were built by people from Atlantis, James Churchward said the Pacific Ocean continent of Mu, others pointed to a lost tribe of Israel, or maybe what is now known as Libya.

Until recently, it was believed by some that the Olmecs were responsible for the advances in Mayan culture and for others, it arose independently.

Now further evidence indicates that it was neither. Findings from Ceibal, the oldest Mayan ceremonial site discovered so far predates the Olmec site known as La Venta by 200 years. In the article, “Oldest Maya Sun Observatory Hints at Origin of Civilization,” the author surmises that the rise in civilization, (i.e., village planning, astronomical observation, etc) came about through the interaction of the peoples in the region.

More research is necessary to solidify the findings and nail down the particulars, but it is evidence that the paradigm is shifting and there are no absolutes.

Have a great day.

In an article entitled, “Ancient Europeans Mysteriously Vanished 4,500 Years Ago,” the author makes the case that the DNA from Europeans changed about 2500 BCE.

Originally, the DNA pointed to settlers from Turkey reaching Germany about 5500 BCE. Further DNA analysis on later burials indicates that another people were present and the older people were no longer around.

The new folks came from the Iberian peninsula, according to the article…

Where did these folks come from before they arrived in Spain or Portugal?

Were they a small population from the fabled Atlantis that finally grew to sufficient size to be able to spread out over Europe?
Or were they connected with the original inhabitants of the American continent that migrated across the Atlantic?

More research and analysis will hopefully answer these questions.

Have a great day.
