The Hittites In America.

The American continent was originally peopled from two different directions, the one being the North-eastern coasts of Asia, the other the Malay and Polynesian archipelagos. The American tribes of insular derivation have everywhere been displaced, for they are found in the Eastern parts of the continent as Algonquins, &c. Who displaced them? The more warlike tribes of continental origin that, through many ages, poured southward from the Arctic limits of Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. There is no reason for supposing the Algonquins to have been very ancient colonists of America, for remnants of the same oceanic migration still occupy the Western coasts. It is possible, however, that they arrived before the Christian era. The Mayas and Quiches of Yucatan and Guatemala are of their stock, and their strange system of hieroglyphics is believed to be related to characters found on Easter Island, and to the most ancient Chinese symbols. These tribes brought with them traditions of the Hittite supremacy in Egypt, Palestine, and Chaldea. The first historical American people of continental origin is the great race of the Toltecs, whose rale was established in Mexico in the beginning of the eighth century A.D. The arrival of successive Khitan (Hittite) waves drove the American tribes of oceanic origin into the East. The Mound Builders, whose works are 'found irom British Columbia to Michigan, and abound in the valleys of the Ohio and the Mississippi, according to Iroquois and Algonquin tradition, were the Allighwei, descendants of those Alazones whose mounds Herodotus saw in European Scythia. They belonged to the Amalekite or Temenite tribe, and the proud name of Amalek still finds its living representatives among the Esquimaux. — " The Hittites : Their Inscriptions and their History."
