[Verginius Rufus]

Some people have tried to connect the pyramids of Egypt with those of central America, despite the differences.

The second Spanish attempt to conquer the Yucatan area was in 1531-34 under Francisco de Montejo. One of the soldiers in this army was a young Dalmatian who later became a Dominican priest (Fray Vicente Palatino de Curzola), who later wrote one of the earliest descriptions of Chichen-Itza. He discovered the Mayan writing on the ruins and decided it must be Carthaginian (well, it certainly wasn't Latin, Greek, or Hebrew).

Maybe closer to Chinese?
