The Natural History of the Maya’s Land
In the DVD Spirits of the Jaguar: The Definitive Portrait of the Land, Wildlife and Peoples of Central America, I learned that the Islands of the Caribbean originally came from the Pacific and drifted eastward until they were stopped by the Bahama Bank.
At that time, North and South America were not joined together. Where Central American now resides, there was open water. The islands that made the Caribbean Islands drifted through this space between the continents.
Land masses drifted in to the space between North and South America from the Pacific Ocean. These land masses became Central America. All of this happened millions of years ago.
