Those who support the idea of transcontinental cultural exchanges in antiquity are labeled cultural hyper-diffusionists. At the same time there are marginally more legitimate alternative history theories worth researching, that the ancient world exchanged cultures across continents to a much greater extent than we are aware of. There are extreme ideas of aliens creating Pyramids and other landmarks around the world and giving humanity technology. We see cultural symbols such as the Pyramids around the world and human nature tells us to connect the dots somehow, instead of giving each civilization independent authority. It seems difficult even for historians to understand how civilizations develop their traditions and cultures. Ivan Van Sertima: They Came Before Columbus
