BEIJING, January 11 (RIA Novosti) - A Mongolian professor of history has said America was discovered by the Mongolians and not Christopher Columbus, as is popularly believed, the Xinhua news agency reported late on Thursday.

Professor Sumiya Jambaldorj from the Genghis Khan University in the Mongolian capital, UIan Bator, performed a study proving the similarity between American place names and words in the Mongolian language.

"About 8,000 to 25,000 years ago, Mongols with stone tools crossed the Aleutian Islands and arrived in America," Jambaldorj was reported as saying.

The academic said that over 20 place names in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands could be Mongolian.

"Many names of places and rivers in the U.S. state of Alaska are believed to be Mongolian," he said.

The news agency said there were similar words in a Native American language and Mongolian, e.g. "hagaan," which means "ancestor" in Mongolian.

Jambaldorj said there was much in common between the ancestors of the Mongolians and the Native Americans, adding that some types of stone tools found in the Aleutian Islands had also been discovered in the Gobi desert area of Mongolia.

Dubyah has a hand in the Mongolian Conspiracy.

Just as in the case with the modern flush toilet, when something like the United States has become an unbridled success, every Tom, Dick and Harry, and their individual cultural iconography, wants credit for the discovery.

So far we have the Vikings, The Spanish and Portuguese ( Columbus) , the Chinese ( Zheng He),The Scots ( Clan Sinclair), and the Iraquis ( Mesopotamians in South America according to Sitchin), who "dsicovered America.".

America was discovered truly in 1776 by the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, and those who wrote the US Constitution.Any fool should understand this. This fool does.

I can't argue with that.

My deep affection for the Mongolian people usurps any further comment, ;D

Who hasn’t known about the Aleutian land bridge leading to the population of the Americas by Asians theory for many, many, many decades? I guess his contribution is increased specificity. The American Indian aboriginists aren’t going to like this at all.

And a bunch of Indian words are the same in English as they are in Indian:

Canoe, Raccoon, Tobacco, er.... Casino,

I also have a deep affection for the Mongolian people. I have actually had dreams of riding with them.

I often dream of this one, who is a Tibetan hero of the Mongolians, Gesar of Ling:

The sound of his horse's hooves haunts me in the nights of our long winter.

Maybe I should go soon, and drink some mare's milk. I will try for your sake not to burp too loudly!

When you go back that far for comparisons the languages have changed too much for anything to be valid. That said, I believe it likely that many different groups made it to America by many different routes over many millennia.

While on a Mexican trip to the Yucatan I was shown by my Mayan host a deep purple spot which appears on the lower back near the buttocks of the Mayas. He stated it is a genetic birthmark on pure Mayan people and is called the “Mongolian spot.”

According to my host, the same genetic marker spot appears on Mongols. He argued that this marker is a proof that at least some of the Amerinds were descendants of Mongol immigration.

Anyone know the truth of this?

[RightWhale]

some of the Amerinds were descendants of Mongol immigration.

Not much doubt about this.

I recall something that it is not sufficient that you should succeed ... but all others must fail. ;-D

Begging the question, but 8,000-25,000 years ago, where were the ‘Mongolians’ living, while the then-inhabitants of now-Mongolia were busy leaving for freer shores?

Buckminster Fuller may have been on to something when he created his Dymaxion Air-Ocean World Map ... The Fuller Projection. 'He wrote about about the possibilities of global exploration primarily by following the coast lines. He thought the Phoenicians may have circumnavigated the world before the Greek's golden age. The largest jump is from the Faroe islands to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland, the route across the North Atlantic that St Brendan traveled before a thousand a.d. in a corracle (skin covered wood frame boat) not six feet in diameter. The point is that people moved around a lot more in pre-historic times than historians allow. And after too, maybe. So the origin of the Amerinds is still an open question. So is the fact that archaeologists have found remains in North America that appear to not be Amerinds yet predate known Amerind sites in the same area.'

Perhaps DNA testing will bring us closer to what we don't know. Which is a lot. ;-D

‘The Dymaxion Map is the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents.’

Dunno, wildbill, whether this is true or not.

For whatever it is worth, my youngest was born with this deep purple spot also.

When I questioned the doc about it, he called it the “Mongolian Bruise”, and said it related back to Ghengis Kahn (Jenjis Kahn to JFKerry types). My husband’s parents both have ancestors in Southern Italy, so possibly that is the link.

My ancestors are all from Scotland, Wales, etc...

Mongolian spots Mongolian spots are blue or purple-colored splotches on the baby’s lower back and buttocks. Over 80 percent of African-American, Asian, and Indian babies have Mongolian spots, but they occur in dark-skinned babies of all races. The spots are caused by a concentration of pigmented cells. They usually disappear in the first four years of life.
