Husky you are confusing yourself by bringing in NE Nagas. Keep them away from this discussion for time being.
About Naga and Mayan connection, there is a tribe in Guatemala, who are one of the three important Mayan founder tribes who mentioned that their ancestors were Nagas who travelled from a place in the East which was 100 days by boat PLZ SEARCH THE LINK THAT CONTAINS THE QUOTE, IT IS IN PREVIOUS PAGES. Again this is given as a link in Hinduwisdom site and in other places. This was again repeated during the Mayan-Hindu conference in Guatemala organized by a few genuine souls. This is also linked in this thread in previous pages.
We have a user i.d. on India Forum who goes by the name of 'Sengottuvan', now that is a Chera name. And the Cheras ruled Kerala and the very name of Kerala was derived from Chera. Nagarkoil or 'Nagar' Kovil was ancient capital of the Chera empire or so I have I heard. Secondly Nair's belong to the Chera empire. Now the Chera if you know, is a type of snake in South India. And Chera is that tamil version of sanskrit Sarpa.
Like the Nair of Kerala there is a caste in Tamil Nadu called Nadar ... that is another variation of the term Nagar. And Nadar's are mainly based around .. where else.. Nagar 'Kovil'. These are castes who were under Chera influence.
Now coming to the Nagas of NE, they are could be an eastern offshoot of the same Naga empire and were influenced by Naga culture. Even ancient CHINA was an outpost of Naga civilization, the most venerable of their ancient symbols of ancient Chinese was the snake. That is also why Buddhism found it easy to penetrate China and Far East, because shared Naga culture already gave them an established base with their shared heritage with Indic civilization. This shared heritage with India is what the Communist Revolution in China has sought to destroy.
Ganapati Sthapati is not talking of any vague details and connection here, he is talking of very minute and detailed similarities in temple architecture.
