In the course of his research, it became clear to him that the similarities between the petroglyphs in the two regions suggest ancient contact. Chang to conduct research at Harvard University on prehistoric human-face petroglyphs in northeastern Asia and northwestern America.

In the ’90s, he was invited by Professor K.C. Song himself has proposed such evidence in the past. Song is an expert in Chinese petroglyphs, whose work has also long supported the controversial theory that contact occurred between Asia and North America outside of what is commonly held by archaeologists and anthropologists to be the case (The common view is that Native Americans’ ancestors traversed the Bering Land Bridge some 12,000 years ago and the next point of contact between the Old and New World did not occur until the Norse landed on the East Coast of America around 1000 A.D., though many scholars have presented evidence over the past few decades suggesting there may have been other points of contact). Earlier this month, Song strongly endorsed Ruskamp’s research in a letter of support (a copy of which Ruskamp sent to Epoch Times) and urged other scholars to take notice.Įarlier this month, Yaoliang Song, a professor at the East China Normal University in Shanghai who has also served as a visiting scholar at Harvard University, strongly endorsed Ruskamp’s research and urged other scholars to take notice. This is just one of dozens of petroglyphs Ruskamp has identified that correspond to ancient Chinese scripts. The Arizona glyph site on a private ranch property located miles from any public access or road. Part of the script found on a private ranch in Arizona reads, “Declaring (to) return, (the) journey completed, (to the) house of the Sun.” (Courtesy of John Ruskamp) Keightley translated the message written on the rock in Arizona: “Set apart (for) 10 years together declaring (to) return, (the) journey completed, (to the) house of the Sun (the) journey completed together.” Keightley has, for example, said the script of a petroglyph Ruskamp found on a private ranch in Arizona matches Chinese oracle-bone writings from the Shang Dynasty (ca. Keightley, Ph.D., who is considered by many to be the leading analyst in America of early Chinese oracle-bone writings. Ruskamp Jr., Ed.D., has led the research on the petroglyphs over the past few years, enlisting the help of experts such as David N. Yaoliang Song, a professor at the East China Normal University in Shanghai who has studied petroglyphs as a visiting scholar at Harvard University, recently announced that he supports the interpretation that the petroglyphs are of ancient Chinese origin. Petroglyphs found across North America have suggested that ancient Chinese explorers made contact with Native Americans.
