[Aztlan] The Peopling of the Americas; a reply

[Katherine Reece]

Olmec jades have been used to  "prove" that it was lost Chinese
sailors/fishermen  (who happened to know how to polish jade) that
brought "old world"
civilization to the "new world".

And of course the curious  crossing of ATLantic and ATL + TLAN meaning
the "place of water" in Nahuatl (more or less) is given as proof by the
lost continenters as
proof of.... well you get the point
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The writer of 1421 who claimed that the Chinese discovered America first
actually claimed that jade was unknown in Mesoamerica before his supposeded
Chinese contact.

In what has to be the worst misuse of native words ever the author of
another book claimed that the Nahuatl word ATL and the Quechua word ANTIS
together make Atlantis and that South America then was the location of that
place.   .
