The History Channel really doesn’t deserve the name anymore. It’s a higher quality version of the SyFy Channel.

For he benefit of those who didn't see the program, the evidence presented was as follows:

1.) Topographical data taken from an aerial survey tends to suggest the presence of temple mounds identical to those found in Mayan cities. This was interesting, but not very convincing, one way or the other.

2.) Several artifacts were shown that were found in the same region of the suspected temple mounds that appear to have Mayan iconography. The match in styles was very striking, but the provenance of the artifacts was unknown.

3.) Linguistic similarities between Mayan and the local Cree tongue, including the names that several tribes called themselves seemed to be derived from classical Maya. This was interesting, but, again, not pursued in much depth.

4.) The Mayans used great quantities of a pigment known as "Mayan Blue", yet no source of the clay upon which it was based has been found in Mexico, aside from a few small deposits. However, the clay used for Mayan Blue turns out to be commonplace in the area of Georgia where the suspected temple mounds are located. An x-ray spectrograph done on a known sample of Myan Blue from Mexico showed that the clay used to make it carried the identical chemical signatiure of the Georgia clay.

In the end, it was interesting and not a completely lunatic suggestion, but not terribly well developed, but then what could you expect.
