Technical note Spider the 'Book of Mormon' is a book of religious stuff written in the 1830's. It doesn't contain any science whatsoever. The writer did create a wondrously creative history for the new world - interesting, but totally with any basis in fact, not really a good 'primary source'. What is your source for the mural? I believe you'll find its a book that is not necessarily a good source either. If it's the 1931 Morris book then at that time Mayan couldn't be read so how was it translated. I MHO the tan guys are those not in warrior black. Take a close look at the first mural. Mayan warriors often painted their bodies black, the guys in black being the 'good' guys

Wow, this is awesome. Who/what tribe describes the inhabitants as having these European traits?
You know... Evidence that Europeans were actually the FIRST ones to the Americas is becoming increasingly strong (although of COURSE suppressed, thus unheard of). It is thought that the Solutreans (an ancient European group that originated around France) were the first to come here, some time around 19,000-26,000 years ago, beating American Indians by some 10,000 years.
A series of European/Solutrean styled tools have been found all along the East coast of the U.S., Recent tests of one of the artifacts that have been found, a knife, show that it was made from French flint. So, this being said.. The thought of a European derived civilization in the southern regions of the Americas would make sense, perhaps.

I purposely did not mentioned anything about the Temple worriors being black, because I know the O.P was not about the possibility that Black folks made contact but about who those supposedly white folks were any mention of Black folks will cause a thread like this to go into derailment , my reply was not based on science but on speculation that's why I went though the trouble of labeling it as Into The Relm Of Speculation. to avoid mixing it up with facts.

The Soultrean hypothesis is still hotly disputed and is in no way considered fact, more evidence is needed - we shall see.
Er why, since you don't know where that image comes (the book) from but it does appear to be Mayan then there no worry about them being 'Black', as noted Mayan warriors often painted themselves that colour.

The above quote was not from me but from IceQueen , I did a follow up response to her.. scroll up a couple post.
while speculation is not science it is good to go through some of the mental exercises and what if's that's how the legendary city of Troy was rediscovered by Heinrich Schilmann, speculation,research and luck.

If we take a close look at the evidence we have at hand, I believe that we can say to a high degree of certainty that the Solutreans crossed the Atlantic.
But of course, I could be wrong...edit on 11-7-2013 by Heliocentric because: The Humming of Bee A Symphonic Melody Offered up for Free

It might be useful to review all the evidence we presently have would you like to start a separate thread on it or I can do so on the weekend. The key point is 'our the soultrean blades REALLY similar to the ones found in the US of A'edit on 11/7/13 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

There are a lot of ancient civilizations that have stories of a fair skinned, light haired people that had come before them. The Maori come to mind, however, such information is supressed for whate-ever reasons.
I'd like to see DNA analysis of the Chachapoya, it'd be interesting to see where they come from.edit on 7-7-2013 by kimish because: (no reason given)

25 years ago, as an undergraduate student working on a 18 000 year old site in Urkan-e-Rub Ila, in the lower Jordan Valley, our team dug up a flat stone with engravings on it, that kind of looked like symbols. For a day or two we thought that we had revolutionized the understanding of the Epi-Palaeolithic Levant... but no. There are several of those stones around, and even thought they speak to us we do not understand what they're saying. The context in which they can be read is gone.
We will have to live with a fair amount of fuzzy, circumstantial evidence when dealing with such a remote past, but I'm pretty confident that future excavations and dating techniques will confirm what we've established so far.

Not to mention it's certainly never been "supressed," nor does it even approach being "unheard of." I've seen two different documentaries on it on free television for God's sake.
The Solutrean Hypothesis has not been "supressed." If anything, it's been overhyped.
BTW, no Solutrean points have ever been found anywhere West of the Atlantic Ocean. The points found in the U.S. share with Solutrean points the characteristic of bi-facialness. This type of point can also be found in Asia, in multiple places, as you can read on this page.
This fact, coupled with DNA anaysis which fails to support any genetic connection, pretty much consigns the Solutrean Hypothesis to the dustbin.
