said Dr.. Wendall Mees. of Ithaca, n.
Y, to a writer for the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Il have just returned from
an extended visit to our sister eDnh
lie during which | made the most care
full researches, with results which are
highly gratifying II me. There re-
MAINS no doubt in my mind that the
Warlike and highly civilized tribes
which CorteS found i'm Mexico were of
scandinavian origin ard very CLOSELY
alled TO our w SaX0n forefathers.
| believe We shall soon be able to es-
tabliSh this fact beyond a question of
doubt. Indications point to the Scan
~dlnaV1ans having come over from the
great northern peninsula as early as
the fourth century B. c..

will never be able to fully realize the
harm they have done by their wanton
destruction of the records they fo71nd
and the stumbling blocks they have
put in the way of scientific research
ers. There are not enough of the hier-
o&lyphic records of the AZtecs remain
ing TO ever complete our knowledge of
their civilization. but i'm nv Oninfon
the worst barriers have been success
fully passed. Many of our scientists
have befogged a very plain question
concerning Mexican ~hieroglvnhicS.
There never was a uniform system of
written or printed records anywhere.
They all contained the PRINCIPLES of
several distinct systems. This is true
OF Egypt as Well as Mexico. A ma
Jorlty of the hieroglyphics of nomen-
clature in Egypt We're based on the re-
bus, or symphonOgraph, where the pic
lures give the sound. but not the sense.
IhiS implies the existence of two lam
suages in that country, one which
gave the meaning. and the other to
which the picture belonged.
The same system was used in Mex
leo. The ~hieroelyph for H~uasayacac.
pronounced Washyaca, is a twig of
the huase fruit, coming out of the
$ on yacac, of the human face.
1.-The meaning, however, is quite
different. Wash on Washu must have
been the name of the god of war. and
Kak. OF Gao, mean red, and the
CulWas were red men, Huaseyacac
must have meant the Red God of War.
Inc popularity of the word is that il
presents what W. may cali the Scan
d1llayian dialectic formula of a name
of great antiquity found in MANY
and not originally belonging
TO the red men of Europe and nor
fhern Africa. In these peoples. who
a be directly traced to the ming
ling of the three primitive savage
races with the prehistoric white races
OF northern Europe. the Axes. or Asar.
we have the root Wash. as in Wash
ington. WAShoe and like words. The
Older form was Bias, as in ~RasinghalI.
B~aShingstoke, Bass, BaSQueS. etc.
in actual nomenclature, and Res. Bes-
sanil, Bosnia. in ancient times. Huitz-
llIpoctli was a title and not q name.
and The lOiling tOrcUe is hieroglyphic
for the word Lap, showing that Huitz-
ilipochtli was the demon Lap. or the
god of war, as viewed by the red races.
This h~ieroglyphic is based unon the
Saxon word Lap. to take ND water
with the tongue, and is proof positive
of the Scandinavian origin of the Az
tees.
Going further into this we have
found THAT the ~hierogIyph for Lap
was the rabbit. because LepuS refuses.
with Lap. and we infer from THAT that
the rabbit god of the Algonquins is q
proof THAT the Aztecs must have had
intercourse by some means with the
civilized races from whom the Romans.
got their word lepus. In every nation
that refused TO eat the mare There
must have been similar Intercourse.
