An admirable theory, Taboo Dan, perhaps akin to Thor Heyerdahl's attempt to prove the Polynesians came from South America by noting the similarities between Pre-Columbian and Tiki statues. Very interesting and unique angle, very much in the Kirsten-school-of-thought.
Unfortunately his theory got shot down by the scholars. :( ...BUT it was hugely influential (as we all know and love), and if you can make this thesis into a bestseller, maybe yours will be too, no matter how skewed it is! :D
