Did Civilization Begin in America

A remarkable theory has lately been put
forth by DR.. LIE PLoSGEoN, who has for
some time been engaged in exploring tho
ruins OF Iucatan. He cites number OF
facts tending to prove that communications,
II not intimate relations, must have existed
at a very remote date between the inhabi-
tants OF Central America and those of Asia
and Africa. Inasmuch, too as he believes
that some OF the Maya structures IN Huca-
tan belong to n much earlier epoch OF the
worlds history than any architectural re-
mains now extant in Egypt OF in Asia, he
liners that civiliZing agencies must have
passed from the West to the East, ana not
In tho reverse direction. We are not yet
prepared to accept this conclusion, although
1t is supported by good many condolences
and anaiOsies; but there is no doubt that
DIR. LIE pLOSGEoN, in his role OF disloyrrer.
has made valuable contributions to our
knowledge OF prehistoric America.
II has heretofore been taken for granted
by almost all European archeoloGists that
no relations whatever existed between the
monuments and civilizations OF the iahab-
itants OF this continent and those of the Old
World. Whether or not the assumption
may hereafter prove to have been we'll
been made on insufficient evidence, for until
DIR. LIZ PLogGEoN and his wife began their
labors, tine ruined cities Of Yucatun had
never been Systematically, much less sell
enttlcally, explored Dr. lie PLoNGEoS
began his work by taking photographs
OF all tho Maya monuments, both in
their entirety and in their details: aud
next he surveyed them carefully, max
ing accurate plans OF them, in order
to ascertain the use for which the buld-
ings were erected. lie also examined
the relations which the ornaments bore TO
each other. ard endeavored to elicit the
meaning Of the intricate designs. II VAS
not, however, until he had nearly complete
the tracing and study of the mural paint
inss still extant in the funeral chamber Of
CHAAC,luL, at Chichon-Itza, that he was able
to detect the key 10 the picture writing, He
