Nor no one knows conclusively why they are called Mayans and who called them so first. My guess that they are called so after Maya is as good and as scientific or imaginative as yours (that they are called after some city which itself belonged to the decaying times of Mayan).
If Mayans did not call them so, can you please give me the original name/s of the civilization and the concerned references?
The sanskrit influences on Mayans are beyond doubt and that influence is highly limited on them means they followed their own languages and their own traditions- just as Daityas, while staying in Indian Subcontinent, did.
Give me better reasons and counter evidence to condemn my "dogmas"

============Mayans' name is irrelevant :You have two other languages named maya in Cameroun and Australia.===People have doubted for years that any connection between the American continent and Pacific Oceana could have existed.It has only been recently accepted that Chickens reached South America before Spaniards set foot there.Your claim "beyond doubt" is absurdly incompetent.Unless "beyond doubt" means "no doubt it's wrong".I would not name your "ideas" "dogma" : it's nonsense.And to be frank,As far as this forum is concerned,it is not worth discussing : it is spam.Arnaud==========
