Conjecture on the origins of the pre-Columbian inhabitants-of America and of possible Old World influences on their civilisations has always abounded. Even before the . arrival of Columbus, Aztec rulers had speculated about their ancestry - one emperor sent out an official expedition, including sixty magicians, to find out the place of origin of his. tribe. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries theories were. put forward that-the'American .Indians were descended from the Israelites, Romans, Carthaginians, even from the Irish. The birth of the science of archaeology in the nineteenth century, andparticularly the spectacular discoveries'niade Egypt, provided further scope for controversy. In the last century the question of American man's.origins has been constantly aired as. further. discoveries in the Old World- and in the New, and increasingly accurate methods of dating and analysing. oevidence, have given weight to some theories, and disproved others. It is nevertheless still a topic that inspires elaborate speculation ranging from Gladwyn's belief that part of. Alexander the Great's fleet had brought civilisation to America, to von Diiniken's theory that visitations from extraterrestrial beings, engendered the human race. In Voyagers to the New World Nigel Davies, author of the best-selling The Aztecs, enters upon this, contentious but fascinating field. Using a wealth of evidence from archaeological and anthropological research, he outlines the star of of knowledge on this subject topay, discusses the various theories about it, and puts forward his own views in a lucid, readable yet scholarly sway. To this problem, more than mot, there is no single, simple solution, but Dr Davies's treatment guides the general reader through the k bewildering mass of technical evidence and sometimes wild speculation SO that he can form an informed opinion of his owns.
