[President Heber J. Grant Diary] I called at the office of Preston Richards and had a visit with an architect who is working out a plan of architecture along Mayan lines. His theory is that the Mayas were the fore-runners of the builders of the pyramids of Egypt. If his theories are correct we had any number of inhabitants upon this continent before Adam.

  1. The Jaredites were the 1st inhabitants of the American continent circa 2233 B.C. It just goes to show everyone - even the LDS church president can be fooled. And of course the Mayas gained their knowledge from the Egyptians - not the other way around.
