I read one guys theory about the Olmecs and he said that at one time there was a 'land canal' across Mexico where shippers from the Pacific would off load their freight and it was 'walked' over to the gulf and reloaded onto ships for further shipping, some on across the Atantic.

He said the explains the (obvious) various races in that area.

Gavin Menzies? He’s being attacked of course. I read both 1491 and 1434.

I think I found it:

’ When the first Europeans arrived in that part of the world they found coconuts planted along the Pacific coasts and on islands off the coasts – coconuts being plants which originated in the Far East. They also found Chinese ship dogs and Chinese rice. Drake captured a Chinese junk trading between North and South America whose pilot had a chart showing the Pacific. Taking all this evidence in the round, it seems to me inescapable that the Chinese and Japanese lived in this small part of the Isthmus of Darien and created settlements there before the first Europeans arrived – for, as mentioned in earlier talks, the first Europeans found Chinese people already settled on the Pacific coasts of both North and South America. The puzzle is, why should this be?...’
