As we find that the Greek language was composed of many Maya words and roots, so in the Greek temples we see embodied the religious conception of the Maya, that are likewise symbolized in the architecture of all the civilized nations of antiquity where the name Maya was known....It must be admitted that in very remote ages the Greeks and the Mayas must have been branches of the same family; or that that they have had most intimate relations; and that the Mayas had such a predominating influence upon the former as was manifested in many of their customs, cosmogonical conceptions, and even their mode of dressing.
According to Herodotus the valley of Egypt was not at that early period what it became later in consequence of the inundations of the river; there was not so much habitable land. The northern part of the country, from the shores of the Mediterranean to Memphis, was anciently covered by water, being in fact a gulf of the sea. The immigrants from Mayach, on that account probably founded colonies in the Cyclades and other islands of the Aegean Sea, long before the advent of the Hellenes, and before these and the tribes who inhabited the Peloponnesus united to form the Greek nation. The colonists must have intermixed freely with the Ionians and other aborigines, taking wives from among them, and in time becoming one people with them, acquiring sufficient influence, on account of their higher civilization, to imposed their language on their compatriots. In fact, the ancient Greek is in a great part derived from the Maya; about one half of it is composed of words and roots belonging to that tongue, as can easily be ascertained by comparing their dictionaries or consulting the able work, although incompleted, of Abbe Brasseur; the second volume of the Troano MS.
