There is no evidence of this...
...although I'm sure people have theorized about this before. Historical bias has always led people to think that the "primitive" Americans could not have possibly build their civilizations by themselves and proposed all sorts of insulting solutions to where they got their technology from, with Egypt, India and the (mythical) Atlantians being to prominent examples. But if Indians (from India) came over to America to help the Indians (from America), then why did the native Americans never use the wheel?

yeabutt they are both built by humans. Ancient humans had a thing for pyramids, mostly because they are really just fancy, geometric hills (i.e., they are easy to build and easy to build BIG). There are lots of other shapes and patterns that get repeated over and over in totally distinct cultures, because people are people and we all like the same cool stuff!

Modern interpretations of the temples found throughout Mexico and Central America are based on archaeological remains and the records of early European explorers. As a result, understanding of these structures is still developing. The earliest Mesoamerican temples probably originated with the Olmecs and reached their pinnacle under the Mayans. Important sites can still be visited in modern Mexico and Guatemala, though they are no longer used for their original purposes. The ancient Tamils were known as Tamiles / Tamales / Tamals. In ancient era Tamil Nadu region it is called ‘Tamal’ and their people are ‘Tamales’. The ancient Tamils were international traders and colonizers. Wherever they went in the world, they left an unmistakable imprint of their presence, such as place names, foods, games, and temple buildings. Their temple buildings were usually zikharis (tiered or premedical temple platforms). It was the ancient southern dark (Tamil) Indians (DNA M-130) who populated entire India and central Asia, middle-east- and also European lands about 40,000 years ago and eventually many sub-tribes may have returned with their new knowledge to other parts of the earth and also to ancient India about 20,000 years ago, just like the modern migration patterns what we see today, say since 1492 AD onwards after criminal Columbus’ arrival with Spaniards. Genetic mutation only took place in ancient India
