This figurine was found in the ruins of an Olmec site in Southern Mexico.

One of the older buildings at Chichen Itza, which I have seen, is called 'The Nunnery'. The frieze that runs above the doorways has several pictoglyphs, and the postures in them bear a striking resemblance to the same postures depicted in Hindu art. This is all anecdotal, and means nothing, but I have read speculation that Asians had reached Central America and had carried on limited commerce. It would be fascinating if there was more evidence found.

The origins of the Olmec civilization is one of the most interesting mysteries of ancient America.
In particular, those gigantic stone heads that were dug up.
