I would like to believe such contact existed and in fact think it possible, but the link you provided doesn't delve into any of its examples with any great amount of detail or precision. Much of it rests on similarities between creation myths ... and artistic representations that "obviously" must be elephant tusks for example. The corn example is interesting though - see http://www.econ.ohio-state.edu/jhm/arch/maize.html
