And it is established belief by Mormons that its primary characters came in boats across the Pacific, not Atlantic, departing from the eastern shores of the Arabian peninsula.

Work by Coe and others point to the possibility that the Olmecs were West Africans and came across the Atlantic.

The anthropology/history of the human race have brought to light many excursions of peoples from their homelands to other parts of the world, so nothing much surprises me about movements of peoples -- even in ancient times.

longshot, Yes, there is evidence that some people came to South America over the Pacific Ocean but the most of them came across the Bering Land Bridge. It may be that the two groups were of different origin and from different places because of the way they acted and lives once the got to there, and the tools, and arrow heads that were used.
