Are there any books out there, or has any archaelogist or anthropologist considered a link in ancient Chinese culture and the ancient Meso-American culture? I refer not only to racial similarities, but also similar motifs: i.e., the use of jade/nephrite, serpent worship, composite mythological animals, serpent/dragon and winged bird/phoenix, lion and jaguar, step pyramids or ascendancies to deep roofed temples, etc. Also the similarity in bronze artifacts and the similarity of certain religious motifs, namely the anthropomorphic feline animal of prey often pictured head-on and in linear patterns. Has anyone considered a continuous landmass from China to the Americas?
Well unfortunately I cant provide you with sources (its been 15 years since i cracked an anthro book), but as for the continuous land mass thing.
Some Anthropologists believed that many of the cultural similarities brought over came across the land bridge during the Ice age when man migrated across from Asia.
However it is important to note allot of the ideas and concepts you mentioned can be found in various parts of the world generally around the same time (that was the basis for one "aliens came to earth" theory that I found rather humerus).
Look up Thor Heyerdahl, he had some theories on cultural expansion by sea faring people, he did a few expeditions on boats made from materials of the times, like balsa wood or papyrus reeds. You may find his Kon Tiki and this RA II voyages of special interest.
