History tell us that the Americas were populated by small groups of
hunter-gatherers who traveled through the Bering land bridge near
the end of the last Ice Age. Their descendants prospered in
isolation, colonizing both North and South America over the next 10
to 15 thousand years. With the lone exception of temporary Norse
settlements at the end of the first millenium AD, these initial
settlers had no contact with the Old World (Europe, Asia, Africa)
until that fateful day in October 1492. Or so the story goes...
Deliberate Intent sets out to prove that during the intervening
period there was chronic contact, from a variety of sources, over
huge expanses of time. While physical evidence (or lack thereof) is
clearly important, it hardly represents the best proof. Rather a
good part of Deliberate Intent sets about looking at how people
separated by vast time and huge distances could develop remarkably
similar ideologies and mythological frameworks. Is this something
that Carl Jung referred to as the collective unconscious? A
remembrance of an archaic system put in place tens of thousands of
years ago? A reaction perhaps to the same observational stimuli? Or
is it as the author contends, something else entirely?
