What was it (your book)?

The only writing script that has been used by Lithuanian so far is
Latin. Is it from India, too?

Wrong. Who's the scholar supporting the idea of «Mayas from India»?

> That Mayans belong to the Daitya Tribe of the subcontinent is
specifically clear on two counts- their civilization is contemporary
with the traditional dating of MBh and second, their astronomy is
venusian based , just as the Daityas of Puranic literature adopted.

Do you really think this is enough proof?

On the basis of "everything comes from India"?
