Answer · White Shaman Mural

# The parallels are not shown to be inheritance

The parallels with Aztec and Huichol myth may be real but are not shown to be specific inheritance; they could reflect themes common to Native American religion or the choice of analogies, and the art itself does not resemble Mesoamerican styles.

**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Comparable correspondences can be found between Pecos River imagery and the myths of peoples with no historical tie to Mesoamerica.
- No intermediate material carrying the specific motifs turns up.

## What would rule it out

- Datable intermediate art or objects carrying the same specific motif sets link the Lower Pecos to later Mesoamerica.
