[aymara] Fwd: Aymara-Maori

["Jorge P. Arpasi" <arpasi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Para echarle mas leña a la foguera de parenentescos, no debemos olvidarnos la
teoria de Thor Heyerdhal con la posible relación entre los pueblos andinos  y
los pueblos de Oceanía. Yo no se si ustedes en esta lista acepten como
sustento (al menos como indicio) de esta teoría a la célebre expedición del
Kon-Tiki, capitaneada por el propio Heyerdhal en lo años 50, y que al parecer
dió mucho para hablar. El parentesco propuesto por Heyerdhal es en el sentido
Andes->Oceanía. 

También, el siguiente mensaje esta relacionado con todo esto.

Arpasi,
I am from New Zealand, deep in the South Pacific. The indigenous people of N,Z, are the Maori and for many years I have been researching their origins. The accepted theory is that the Polynesians (Maori) originated in S.E.Asia but all of the traditions claim that their ancestors came from a "mainland far away to the East. This can only be South America and it appears from the traditional evidence that their ancestors originated in the Titicaca region of Peru and Bolivia. I have discovered many words that are exactly the same in Maori and in Quechua and Aymara. The Polynesians brought the 'sweet-potato' (Camote) with them when they first entered the Pacific over 2,000 years ago. Its name came with it and is known in the Maori language as 'Kumara', the original Peruvian name. I notice that for many years Wira Cocha or Huira Cocha's name has confused some researchers. The modern Quechua word 'wira' meaning fat suggests that it may have had an earlier meaning. Throughout the Pacif!
ic 'Huira' is the word for 'ligh
All the best 
Louis,
