Mayans are oriental in apperance. Shorter and darker than Koreans, but frankly, I think they have a common origin.

The Aztecs, who are proto-Mayan and speak Nahua have as the story of their origin the land of Aztlan, or the land of the 7 Caves. Olmecs, who predate both Mayans and Aztecs in this continent might have been Negroid, with the traditional large nostrils and lips.

I'm not sure what Chin means in Nahua, since I am still not proficient in that language, but I find it fascinating that the Korean word for God means our lower jaw in anglo-saxon.

Wikipedia has a good list of Mayan Gods. I recomend you study it, and perhaps you find a connection. Sadly, our friends the Catholics destroyed all the written records of the histories of the Mayans and Aztecs. They considered it dangerous idolatry. Perhaps there were truths in there that were too hard to take for the European establishment.

Kinda makes you wonder why a bunch of barbarians inherited the earth.

Other interesting facts:

- the Chinese word "Chan" is the original form of the Japanese "Zen" which means meditation.

- the anglo-saxon word God comes from the germanic Gott, which was usually considered an "invocation" or "calling for something".

- in Sanscrit, the supreme sylable is OM which represents all of the above.

- Hombre means "man" in spanish. Spanish is a combination of certain arabic and latin languages combined. Hence EL, which is a standard spanish masculine form is also the first part of Elohim which is the name "Lord" in hebrew, the most common form of addressing God, whose name is inpronouncable by the Jews. Hence YVHV cannot be pronounced according to Kabbalists..

So we go from Om, Chan, Gott to El. I would be interested in compiling a list of the names of God in every language and proto-language. I'm missing the slavic names, the African, the original Australian. The Native Americans call him Wakan (link: chan/chin) Tanka.

One possiblity is looking at the root Ma and Pa or Da for the answer.. Ma is pretty universal.
