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.

Yup. I've seen that. I used to spend two weeks each Christmas roaming around the Yuchatan. Here is an interesting site if you make it back down there: Coba It hasn't been cleared out yet. Very interesting site and somewhat off the tourist trail. Also, the El Bocadito is a reasonable place to stay. It was a Club Med when I was there last time.
