Julio and Victor just floated from Cancun to Cuba last night on a piece of corrugated tin strapped to some coconuts but for the Mayans to make the same trip, impossible...That's an interesting take on the Mayan apptitude for local discovery.
Anyhow, Rafinesque actually references De Humboldt in Ancient Annals or History of Kentucky. I've read some of De Humboldts work as well...It appears that Germany was quite a different place before De Humboldts time.
I've got some data on that but, before I go there I have to present another American artifactual anomaly located in Germany....
"Moor with an Emerald Cluster" American Indian artifact located at the Green Vault Museum in Dresden Germany from the early 1700s.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rferl.org/amp/30291236.htmlHe looks like Kevin Hart but with a tobacco Indian headdress similar to the Americans in the Allegory of the Continents video...
Three sources below who agree that this is an American Indian artifact:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_VaultSo, in this thread I have:
1) A young aunt Jemima in a prom dress on early 1700s German murals. Before any of the "founding fathers" was even born yet...
2) Kevin Hart but with an American tobacco Indian headdress from early 1700s Germany.
3) Shannon Sharpe but with a pimp named slickback - buffalo grease perm - and the face of post-civil war America from the late 1800s...
None of these artifacts use the very generic definition of native American, nor do they use the artificial brand name "Native American" ....None of these artifacts say African, black, negro, colored or any other generic descriptions that have been used in America for these people...
For the hayseed geniuses in the peanut gallery - READ THIS CAREFULLY AND I'LL REITERATE:
None of the above artifactual descriptions say "Native American"...No one was trying to co-opt your artificial brand name and fictional social construct BACK THEN and no one could GAF less about doing so now in describing the American people in the these artifacts...except you. Your asian teepee mongols can keep that sht.
There also appears to be a different kind of people who held dominion in some parts of Germany BEFORE DeHumboldt's time that had a different experience with "the outside world"....
A simple Google Search "German Moors" provides different sources of info on these people...
