I first read the theory of monotheistic religion moving from South America to India and subsequently Egypt and the Middle East in SHotW and other articles here at SotT/QFG. Is there a theoretical timeline of sorts? Or is this something that can be discovered by looking at when these influences first "arrived" in the given areas, usually bringing great change with them? I don't recall dates being discussed.
Are there possible clues in parts of the thread "Canary Island: Strange Goings-On There" ?(http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=65)
Halfway down the first page I was surprised to see Thor Heyerdahl's name mentioned:
[quote="Isis" to Laura]Dr Fittkau-Garthe was living in Tenerife at the same time as the Norwegian anthropologist Dr Thor Heyerdahl was excavating the step pyramids ...[/quote]
Here is what wikipedia had to say about Mr Heyerdahl:
Is this possibly why Thor Heyerdahl was studying the pyramids in the Canaries, which also bear a resemblance to those in South America?

The above bears resemblance to the ancestors of the Guanches.wikipedia said:Heyerdahl claimed that in Incan legend there was a sun-god named Con-Tici Viracocha who was the supreme head of the mythical fair-skinned people in Peru. The original name for Virakocha was Kon-Tiki or Illa-Tiki, which means Sun-Tiki or Fire-Tiki. Kon-Tiki was high priest and sun-king of these legendary "white men" who left enormous ruins on the shores of Lake Titicaca. The legend continues with the mysterious bearded white men being attacked by a chief named Cari who came from the Coquimbo Valley. They had a battle on an island in Lake Titicaca, and the fair race was massacred. However, Kon-Tiki and his closest companions managed to escape and later arrived on the Pacific coast. The legend ends with Kon-Tiki and his companions disappearing westward out to sea.
When the Spaniards came to Peru, Heyerdahl asserted, the Incas told them that the colossal monuments that stood deserted about the landscape were erected by a race of white gods who had lived there before the Incas themselves became rulers. The Incas described these "white gods" as wise, peaceful instructors who had originally come from the north in the "morning of time" and taught the Incas' primitive forefathers architecture as well as manners and customs. They were unlike other Native Americans in that they had "white skins and long beards" and were taller than the Incas. The Incas said that the "white gods" had then left as suddenly as they had come and fled westward across the Pacific. After they had left, the Incas themselves took over power in the country

Another side of the coin: With the exception of "wise, peaceful instructors", the above descriptions could also relate to the post-cataclysmic spreading of Monotheism, which could possibly be connected with the Sons of the Law of One, from a much older time-period. Next stop: Indus River?wiki said:Heyerdahl said that when the Europeans first came to the Pacific islands, they were astonished that they found some of the natives to have relatively light skins and beards. There were whole families that had pale skin, hair varying in color from reddish to blonde, and almost Semitic, hook-nosed faces.
