OPEN LETTER


Dear Preservers of Maya heritage,

In the classification of the Maya languages and the Native First People of America, one finds a common root language along the pacific coast.   It is hypothesized that the Maya originated from Oregon and California, then migrated into Mexico and Mesoamerica, and then migrated back again into North America.   The physical evidence presented at the web site http://www.mayapaleolithicmuseum.org/ suggests that the hypothesis has validity and additionally, that the Maya continued to occupy the Oregon and California territories (their colonies) until the time of the west coast conquest.  Their colony on Maui ended at the time of the unification of the Hawaii Islands.   Stone working Maya left dated stone artifacts at these sites, with some dating from the eleventh century.   I used Archeoastronomy to determine my time period and I am looking for help to read any dates on the artifacts.   I am writing to your group because I am looking for a home for the four collections that may be viewed at: http://www.mayapaleolithicmuseum.org/toc.htm , under new additions.

In the last 20 months, I have discovered six separate paleolithic sites and four associated caches.  What is most extraordinary about these discoveries is that, they appear to be Maya!  If one believes in the land bridge theory of the migration into the Americas, then all tribes came down through the ice free corridors into Oregon and Northern California.  Although the existence of the Maya has  been unknown in North America, their civilization appears to be more extensive than previously believed and their written history would extend from the classic period into modern times.  In North America, their disappearance would not be such a mystery.   On the West coast, almost 99% of THE NATIVE POPULATION died of foreign diseases by the end of the nineteenth century.  The artifacts displayed on our web site were discovered in the Pacific North American states of California, Maui in the Hawaii Islands, and Oregon.

My first discovery was a stone lined box or cache near Oregon City, Oregon, which contained about sixty items (Tools, statues, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic sculptures and two sets of Quincunz Itz stones). Then just three weeks later and 700 miles to the south, I discovered what I believe to be an Itz At's workshop.  Next, a little farther west I found a site that I saw in a repeating dream (three nights in a row) on the island of Maui.  About one year later I made a discovery of a cache in San Carlos, California on 8 October 2000.   What was nice about the San Carlos site was that it contained tools and artifacts similar to the cache in Oregon.    In February and March 2001, I found two more caches, the first at Kaiser Hospital in Redwood City and two weeks later another in Oregon City,  http://www.mayapaleolithicmuseum.org/NA-March-April.htm.    Then I decided to look for one specific artifact, the turtle, http://www.mayapaleolithicmuseum.org/Turtles.htm ,  in order to put together a collection of them.  Finally,  while looking for turtles, I also looked for jasper artifacts in order to put together a collection that would be visually appealing, http://www.mayapaleolithicmuseum.org/Jasper%20collection.htm .

With a four power magnifying lens, you will see many glyphs carved into the artifact's surfaces in addition to the images on the objects.  After looking around the museum you will see that I am comparing many similar artifacts from different sites.   I believe the artifacts cry out that their identity is Maya.   I am looking for a co-author, who is a world recognized Maya expert to help prepare an article on these discoveries.  Additionally, an astronomer who is interested in the Maya and their recording of the supernova of 1054, would be very helpful, any suggestions?   The reason for this request is I believe that most of the artifacts date from the eleventh century and portray the morning sky on July 4, 1054!  I now have well over fifteen hundred artifacts, please see the samples below.  I wish to put together a representative collection of these artifacts that will  be donated to museums in each country that have a Maya heritage.  Thanks for your time.

Respectfully,

James R. Van Dyke

P.S.  The three artifacts below are Homomorphic, both physically representing the same object and for having the same art carved into or painted on their surfaces.
