Amazing the things people come up with. I’ve seen works (that aren’t even from British Israelists!) purporting to show a link between the English and Hebrew languages.

FWIW, the latest evidences actually suggest the Polynesians may have migrated east FROM the western coast of the Americas.

Not really. That theory was popular back in the 30s and 40s, popularized by Thor Heyerdahl.

There are some intriguing issues that indicate some contact, but my understanding is that both genetic and linguistic studies point pretty clearly to Taiwan as the "original" home of the people who became the Polynesians.

If you have other references, I'd be interested in seeing them.
