If, in the absence of evidence of any transoceanic contact at all, there were "theories" thrown around about first Mesoamerican civilization having to have been inspired by old worlders, be they Norse (Haha!), Chinese (Ha!), Africans (Huh?), but no equivalent theory going the other way, I'd say the write up has a point.
Why is popular junk history not populated by stories of the great stone architecture of zimbabwe being evidence of African culture having been inspired by the renegade band of magalithic building Incas?
