The book explores historical and anthropological connections between seemingly disparate cultures, namely the Japanese, Arabs, Basques, and the Muysca peoples of the Bogotá plateau in South America. Its central thesis revolves around the potential shared origins and interactions that may have fostered a cross-cultural exchange of ideas, language, and civilization.  In this extensive analysis, de Paravey argues for notable linguistic and cultural similarities between the Muyscas and the Japanese, citing various parallels in their languages, calendars, and societal structures. He meticulously compares vocabulary, religious practices, and even governmental hierarchies to find evidence of ancient connections facilitated by maritime tribes or colonizers. The work emphasizes the influence of earlier civilizations, particularly from Asia, on the development of indigenous cultures in the Americas. Throughout, de Paravey seeks to reframe existing narratives about cultural origins and interactions, contributing significantly to anthropological discourse of his time.
