Arabian Passage: Correlation of Tulán in Ancient Maya Folklore with Khor Kharfot on the Arabian Sea Coast, Dhofar, Oman

The Popol Vuh, the Title of the Lords of Totonicapán and The Annals of the Cakchiqueles are three independent Maya historical narratives offering extensive insights into the Old-World journey of their forefathers preparatory to crossing the sea and coming to the Americas. Information provided in these published texts include the ancient origin of the Maya as preserved for millennia through oral histories; accounts which chronicle the journey of their forefathers in a well described but unnamed land traveling under the guidance of their gods via a sacred revelatory device. The eight elements common among these three records are addressed enabling the identification the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the Wadi Sayq region of southern Oman, as having been that distant land of Maya origin. These same eight common elements common among these Maya texts are then correlated with similarities recorded in the Book of Mormon, an ancient record of the migration of an extended family of the House of Joseph (through the descendants of Manasseh) from Jerusalem across Arabia and their departure from Khor Kharfot in Wadi Sayq for the Americas in the early 6th century BC. This correlation demonstrates the feasibility that the Wadi Sayq locality on the shore of the Arabian Sea in southern Oman was the common link between these three Maya migration accounts and the Arabian journey described in the Book of Mormon.
