List Members,
I grabbed this off of a Vedic list. This article is fairly supportive of my
idea that Aryan culture originated in the hollow portion of the Earth, the
subsequent migration going from the North to the South. Since the opening
seems to be above the coast of Russia, it is easy to make a conncetion
between Caucasian demographics and the opening. But to the North American
side, too, I wonder if there wasn't some immigration, even though the
opening is farther away from North America. My Aryan article is the second
or third one down. http://www.skyboom.com/hollowearthpuranas

Vedic Americas
The fact that a highly civilized race inhabited America long before
the modern civilization of Europe made its appearance there, is quite
clear from the striking remains of ancient and his refinement
existing in the country. Extensive remains of cities which must have
been once in a most flourishing condition, of strong and well-built
fortresses, as well as the ruins of very ancient and magnificent
buildings, roads, tanks and canals that meet the eye over a very wide
area of the southern continent of America, irresistibly force us to
the conclusion that the country must have been inhabited at one time
by a very highly civilized nation. But whence did this civilization
spring?
The researches of European antiquarians trace it to India. Mr.
Coleman says : "Baron Humboldt, the great German traveler and
scientist, describes the existence of Hindu remains still found in
America"
Speaking of the social usages of the inhabitants of Peru, Mr. Pococke
says : "The Peruvians and their ancestors, the Indians, are in this
point of view at once seen to be the same people." The architecture
of ancient America resembles the Hindu style of architecture. Mr.
Hardy says "The ancient edifices of Chichen in Central America bear a
striking resemblance to the tops of India." Mr. Squire also
says : "The Buddhist temples of Southern India, and of the islands of
the Indian archipelago, as described to us by the learned members of
the Asiatic Society and the numerous writers on the religion and
antiquities of the Hindus, correspond with great exactness in all
their essential and in many of their minor features with those of
Central America." Dr. Zerfii remarks : "We find the remarkable
temples, fortresses and viaducts, aqueducts of the Aryan group."
A still more significant fact proves the Hindu origin of the
civilization of ancient America. The mythology of ancient America
furnishes sufficient grounds for the inference that it was a child of
Hindu mythology. The following facts will elucidate the matter :-
Americans worshipped Mother Earth as a mythological deity, as the
Hindus still do - dharti mata and pritvi mata are well known ad
familiar phrases in Hindustan.
Footprints of heroes and deities on rocks and hills were worshipped
by the Americans as devoutly as they are done in India even at the
present day. Mexicans are said to have worshipped the footprints of
Quetzal Coatle, a the Indians worship the footprints of Buddha in
Ceylon, and of Krishna in Gokal near Muttra.
The Solar and Lunar eclipses were looked upon in ancient America in
the same light as in modern India. The Hindus beat drums and make
noises by beating tin pots and other things. The Americans, too,
raise a frightful howl and sound musical instruments. The Carecles
(Americans) think that the demon Maleoyo, the hater of light,
swallows the moon and sun in the same way as the Hindus think that
the demons Rahu and Ketu devous the sun and the moon.
The priests were represented in America with serpents round their
heads, as Siva, Kali, and others are represented by the Hindus.

in the World's Ancient Vedic Culture, with a focus on its historical,
archeological and scientific aspects. Also topics about India, Hinduism,
God, and other aspects of World Culture are welcome.
