[Aztlan] (no subject)

The last part of your comment is important.  The computer simulations of Cahokia are a one for one resemblance to Mesoamerican architecture.  The ONLY difference is the building media.  Stone vs. earth.  This is the best instance of diffusion and contact rather than independent development.

About Nick Hopkins' question about traditions or physical evidence of mesoamerican -North American Indian contact
--  How about Choctaw tradition of migration from southwest following leaning pole, to escape unspecified oppression?
   --  also, how about architectural similarities at Cahokia with mesoamerican city layout?

Any other thoughts about this highly interesting subject?
