In addition, National Park Service personnel and Native leaders have independently evaluated some of the study's most significant pictogram-glyphs. Importantly, multiple recognized authorities on ancient Chinese writing have confirmed that the study's petroglyphs are in conformance with ancient styles of Chinese script and syntax. For each of these pictogram-glyphs an analytical comparative statistic has been generated for the sometimes-obvious similarity of each symbol's line strokes with the corresponding features of an equally ancient and complex Chinese script pictogram. Using novel integration of the legal construct of substantial similarity with the comparative statistical tool of the Jaccard Similarity Coefficient the Chinese origin of previously unrecognized North American petroglyphs and pictographs is established. The primary report of this study, simply referred to as Asiatic Echoes, presents the reader with written evidence that in pre-Columbian times, and on multiple occasions, such historic trans-Pacific exchanges indeed took place. For centuries, researchers have been debating if, in pre-Columbian times, meaningful exchanges between the indigenous peoples of Asia and the Americas might have taken place. Many sinologists have written positively on this topic, yet, so far, no conclusive proof has been put forth establishing such trans-Pacific contact as a historical event.
