They fit the bill for New Agers who want to hype the superior knowledge of Native Americans. There has been a cottage industry of publishing books on this--google Bear & Co.
Jose Arguelles wrote a wild book on "The Mayan Prophesies" with some of the most florid pseudoscience babble and it stimulated New Agers to do pilgrimages to "power points" like the Mayan pyramids etc.
As we know there is alot of money to be made selling pseudoarcheology to Mencke's "booboise>"
