ct that these
broken fragments of language, traceable to India, Babylonia-Assyria, Egypt
and Greece, are found, in America, clinging tenaciously to a set of
cosmical ideas and a scheme of organization identical in both hemispheres.

It has been surprising to me, for instance, to learn, by carefully
collecting facts, that whereas Professor Sayce tells us that the supreme
god of the Phoenicians was named Yeud or Ekhad, the supreme god of the
Mexican Chichimecs (literally, Red race) was named Youalli-Ehecatl, which
signifies, literally, night-air or wind. I likewise ascertained that,
whereas the word yau or yu signifies the source or origin in Chinese, is
linked to a character forming a cross and is homogeneous with Yaou Sing, a
star in Ursa Major, described as "revolving," the Mexican name for the
pole-star god was Yaual or Yohual Tecuhtli, the lord of the circle or of
the night.

Again there is a remarkable similarity between the Mexican yaualli=circle
and the verb yoli or yuli=to resuscitate or vivify; the Chinese ui=to turn
around, and the Scandinavian yul, yeul or yol = wheel, also the festival
of the winter solstice, when nature seemed to resuscitate. Whereas the
significance of the above Mexican, Chinese and Scandinavian names, is
clear, no meaning has, to my knowledge, been attached to the Semitic name
for the supreme god, which, as Professor Sayce informs us, was pronounced
Yahu or Yaho or Yahve (see Appendix, list I).

Other striking resemblances are found between the names for handicraftsman
and master-builder in widely distant countries. Thus, in Phrygia, we have
the Daktuloi, the builders who erected monuments decorated with
cross-symbols arranged so as to form a geometrical design, such as
represented in fig. 72, 2. In Oaxaca the Toltecatl=builders and
handicraftsmen, erected the walled temple and cruciform structures at
Mitla, and decorated them with geometrical designs.

Reliable authorities teach us that "the Hittites were the northern minyan
or menyan=measurers, a building race" (Hewitt); that Aha-Mena, the first
historical ruler of Egypt, was a builder; that the name of Amun, the god
of the Ammonites, signified "the builder." Dictionaries reveal that, in
America, Maya-speaking people designated a master builder or
handicraftsman as ah-men, or menyah which, in Nahuatl, became amanteca. In
Yucatan the name for North was Aman or Xaman; the building race of
civilizers seems to have been associated with th
