BUT that doesn't mean it must be American. It doesn't show any American cultural elements either. 

Gosh, didn't you see the native American teepee that I just posted? Tucker and Janick claim that it is a smoking volcano from Mexico but smoke isn't usually depicted rising in three distinct directions from a single source. Meanwhile, I have found many depictions of native American teepees with three crisscrossed logs coming out of an open top. I would also point out that the pattern of alternating colors seen on the vials is more typically native American than European for the late Middle Ages.

I have suspicions that the VMS was originally much larger than it is today and that the Rosicrucian owners removed all the pages depicting native Americans and their culture. They would have been most concerned about the survival of the prophecies encoded into the stars sections and rightly concluded that depictions of native Americans would not be helpful. I think they simply overlooked the teepee or didn't recognize it for what it was and that's why it's still there.

As I have been saying since the beginning of this thread, French heretics, to escape persecution in Europe, migrated to the Americas during the 13th century. Since they did not believe in procreation, they would have become extinct within a few decades after arrival, but not before making native American converts who would have conserved their writings across several generations into the future.
